welcome to the forum bob!

Welcome. I believe that if you handle Butterfinger more they will eventually not be stressed by it and have less seizures. Also are you sure they're actually having a seizure or are they just scared? What is the diagnosis for Butterfinger by an avian vet? Perhaps there is medicine for it. I think Butterfinger would be happier if they could be handled although it might be a tough road but maybe worth it.

Welcome and be welcomed. We some very active parrotlet owners on this forum, Inger and her parrotlet Bumble , have a charming thread with lots of pics and videos.

Welcome!

If you do decide to ask for a vet's ideas on the possible seizures, here are some links.

Most of us swear by our avian vets in the event of health concerns.

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.

Thank you for giving a wonderful home to these two darlings!

Hi!! So glad to see another parrotlet owner! I’m not the only one by any stretch, but I’m the loudest. Bumble, my little girl, is about 20 months old and is the love of my life. I can’t wait to hear more about Boo and, as everyone else has mentioned, we really like pictures here.
