So I recently got a new foster, Pricilla the nanday conure.
She recently was separated from a bird she was kind of bonded to, she seems to be doing alright though. I just got her yesterday so I understand her shyness I haven't really tried to make her step up or do anything exciting.
Buut she came to me in a huge flight cage with 3-4 mirror toys in her cage. As a rule I don't like mirror toys at all but I don't know if I should remove them or wait until she gets adopted and have them make the call.
She spends most of her time looking at one of them and if she gets nervous she bites the toy and let's it swing, so I think she thinks it's another bird.
This is not good, as first of all I'd like to be able to handle her, and second my sun conure, Sunny really wants to be friend and she seems totally uninterested, which is driving Sunny insane. :/
Plus I can't imagine it's good for her to be attached to a reflection of herself.
So help?
