Hi, there. First post. I am planning to adopt a green cheek conure once I find a good breeder in Georgia. The problem is, I have a little budgie who had a respiratory infection a few weeks back. He has since recovered (stopped antibiotics last week) and is back to normal, but I am still concerned about spreading it to a potential new bird. Granted, I would quarantine for six weeks and keep them in separate cages for the obvious reasons, but is there any chance that the bacterial infection could still harm a new bird after treatment? Through exposure to the budgie's cage or toys maybe? Not sure how these things work so felt like I should ask. Don't want to have another poor birdie suffer a respiratory infection.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
