Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / December 2003sun conure
just purchased a sun conure - been at new home less than 24 hours - hasn't eaten yet or hasn't taken a drink. is this normal??? > just purchased a sun conure - been at new home less than > 24 hours - hasn't eaten yet or hasn't taken a drink. > is this normal??? LOL, If I had a dollar for every time this gets asked.............. you know the drill. Was the bird hand fed tame? If so this is perfectly normal. Even a bird that loves human interaction in the store, will often act like this when it is first brought to a new home. It takes them a while to get used to the change. Move slow, spend lots of time with it through the day, and it will soon come around. If you do not have one, you should find an Avian Vet and take the bird in for a well bird check up. Then you have a Vet if something comes up later. Enjoy the bird, soon it should be making enough noise that you will wonder what happened to that quiet bird you brought home {:-)  Signature"A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain" [Lazarus Long] > > just purchased a sun conure - been at new home less than > > 24 hours - hasn't eaten yet or hasn't taken a drink. > > is this normal??? > > > LOL, If I had a dollar for every time this gets asked.............. ...You'd have made about $20 this year. -- Steve > > just purchased a sun conure - been at new home less than > > 24 hours - hasn't eaten yet or hasn't taken a drink.

My advice: Leave it alone for the most part. Just go about your business as usual. A couple of very short up close visits through out the day are fine, but still stressful for the bird. Let the bird get comfortable with it's surroundings first. Then you can spend more time with it as it gets comfortable with you. -- Steve I agree with Steve's advice. My sun conure hates change of any kind. It took him about 3 months to get comfortable when I first got him.
