Thank you too DanMCQ, Oscar is sitting on my shoulder right now, where he just loves to be. I am relieved to hear all the feedback that tells me what Oscar is going through sounds pretty normal. Thanks again.

Thank you Fairy, I am so glad to have found this site where i can share the joys of owning my beautiful Sun Conure. Everyone here has been so lovely. Thanks to all!

Thank you for the advice. He does not appear to have any discharge with what I suspect might be a sneeze but I will keep a close eye on him - "think he is a he, but have not had him DNA tested".....

Whoops, sorry Judy I forgot to answer your question about "the grey" no we don't have one, Oscar is a first baby......

Hi Judy, THANK YOU SO MUCH !! You have put my mind at rest. He does not have any discharge with what I suspect is a sneeze so I will keep a close eye on him, just in case. I am pleased to hear that the feather loss is a normal process. He certainly doesn't look like he is sick. Eating well everyday, drinking well and just loving lots of cuddles. Once again Judy thank you and I will be sure to keep everyone posted on how he is. Will also add some photos as he is a BEAUTIFUL "I think Boy". They tell me you can only find out the true sex by DNA test, which we have not yet had done. Once again Judy thank you. Rochelle

Hi everyone, a new member in search of some advice for my new darling Sun Conure "Oscar". We have had him for about 2 months, new parrot owners. The last couple of days I have noticed he has been dropping little feathers everywhere. What I thought was just a natural noise which he has had for a week or so, I now think might be a sneeze? Has anyone experienced this with their Conure and do you think he needs to go to a vet? Also, is a regular vet ok or do they need someone specialised? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
