Iāve had my Pearly Conure, Phil, for 3 years, but recently finished school and have been home less due to work. To ensure Phil isnāt alone, Iāve decided to get a second bird. Unfortunately, my local options are quite limited. The only nearby rescue within 150 km is very selective about who they rehome birds to (which I fully support), and they currently donāt have any birds they think would be a good fit for Phil.
Iāve been searching on Kijiji and found someone selling Moon Cheek Conure babies, but theyāre only 6 weeks old. From what I understand, they should be kept for at least 9 weeks before being rehomed, so Iām concerned about the legitimacy of this breeder.
Is my concern warranted? or am I worried about nothing?
TL;DR: I want to adopt a baby conure, but the birds are only 6 weeks old and Iām worried they might be too young to be rehomed.
