Hi all:
I’m picking up my weaned baby yellow sided green cheek conure on Saturday and I have some really baseline questions that I have not seen answered in the books or videos I’ve looked at. How do I get him from his travel cage to his home cage if holding one cage against another cage door is not feasible? And then once he’s in there, how do I get him back out 5 days later to bring him for his wellness vet check —assuming he’s not miraculously stepping up onto my hand? I want to prioritized his health but also don’t want to f up our training relationship less than a week in!
Part two: I assume it’s too much to transfer him from his daytime cage to nighttime (and out of cage area) cage until he’s settled in and willing to step up and be carried right? If so, then my question is will he be able to sleep with the TV on if he’s covered at night or, alternatively, sleep in late in the morning to get twelve hours of sleep if my kids, dogs and I are next to his cage (in the same room)? We can try being quiet but not sure how realistic that is.
So many questions....
Thank you
