Hello everyone! I recently adopted a 9 year old sun conure named Sunny. He is still getting used to me but settling in well. His old owner cared about him, but was not knowledgeable about sun conures. Sunny has been fed a seed diet his whole life. He had a cage that was much too small, it was very tall but only just over one foot long and one foot wide. I have a vet checkup planned, but was wondering if anyone has a rough idea of how a high fat diet with little exercise will affect him? I don't know if this information is accurate, but I read conures fed a seed diet will only live about 10 years. I am worried because he is already 9. Also, I would love any tips and suggestions about making the transition from seed to pellets and veggies easier! Thank you for your help!
