IMG_8316.JPG I adopted two cute conures two weeks ago and they had been clipped and went for a while without food . They eat everything so it is relatively easy to feed them healthy . I think they are starting a molt too. What can I do to improve their feather health ?

Some Red Palm Fruit Oil in their diet does wonders for all birds feathers beaks and nails.

Regular showers helps a lot.

Congratulations on your two new conures! I can see that one is a black capped conure, but is the other one a green cheek conure or a maroon bellied conure?

I think they are both yellow sided but the maroon bellied came up too. The problem is that I do not have any information on them beside the fact that they were found abandoned .

After having them for two weeks here is what I noticed .
Picasso is protective of Monet . Picasso is heavier and bigger and his feathers look better . They are both shy and Picasso will run away . Picasso experiences more , plays more with toys . Both don't make much noice at all :( .
Monet is shy but not nippy at all , always hungry and very foot motivated , she is clumsy . I wonder if one is actually the parent of the other . IMG_8302.JPG

I am sorry that I made that mistake. The first picture looked similar to a black cap when I first looked.
