Hello everyone,
I would like to ask a few questions about my senior, blue crowned conure, Max. We've had him since he was a baby. Lately, he's been perching in a puffed up manner and frequently the back end of his body shakes, quivers. We keep the room he's in quite warm so it doesn't seem to be that he's chilly. What could that be from?
His behavior is pretty normal, chirps etc. Let's the head petting etc.
We just had his beak and nails done and unfortunately they cut his nails too short so he's been falling from his cage when going to his dishes of water and food. Not all the time but frequently. I'm mad at my myself for doing this now but his nails were wayyy too long but he was used to climbing and hanging all over his cage. Now, he's pretty much staying put most of the time going to his dishes not so often now. Hoping that his nails grow quickly. He pulls himself up pretty well off the bottom of the cage but still, I'm upset how short they cut his nails.
I was told to get a corner thing for him to sit on and maybe other things but my wife says those things will freak him out and he won't go to them since he's been in this same cage forever.
What do you think the shaking is from and any suggestions regarding getting him to his food and water more easily until his nails grow back? Thanks in advance! Ken
