Hi all. I got a 7mo black capped conure on Thursday night. Things are going well with him/her and he is very sweet. Welcome home Mushu! I took him to the vet the next day for an exam and gendering, but since I haven't spent much time with him, I didn't realize the clumsiness. I'm currently changing his diet and the pellets are a bigger than the seeds he's used to eating so he tries to hold them in his foot and almost falls over very time. It's like his tail is too close to him and it makes him unsteady. It always bends toward his butt instead of out like a kangaroo tail (hopefully that makes sense). He's a flyer and I want that but whoever clipped him did a horrid job. He always leans right and this will be a challenge when I start flight training! I'm curious if he will grow out of this clumsiness? He has another vet appointment April 2 because the vet couldn't get blood for the gendering so I'll definitely mention it. I'm assuming that he hasn't had to use his feet to eat, it's a balancing act/muscle that he will have to learn but I'm not sure! Thank you!
