Hi! So I adopted a male yellow napped amazon. He is about 30ish years.
He is not handleable so I have my work cut out for me. The vet told the previous owners to get him on a better diet (which I'm so happy about) but he is still eating a seed and peanut mix along with nutriberries because they said the vet told them if you take away the seed all together he will die? I know when I pet sat him it took him a good 48-72 hours to settle in and eat. He did not eat dinner last night but I did get him to eat a peanut piece before bed and saw him drink water once the lights were out. Also the vet told them to get a humidifier for his room. Does anyone know at what humidity a room should be for Amazons?
Sorry for the long post, any tip or hints appreciated!! THANKS
