Cinnyminis Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 We went to go visit Echo, our 8 week old orange winged amazon earlier today. Much to our surprise, although he is on two feedings a day still, we were able to bring him home today! So, my question is this: I have read elsewhere that you should quarantine new birds when you bring them home. Is this true in every situation? Radar (10mo CAG) has been introduced and I hung a new toy in between the cages to discourage him from wanting to go over there for awhile. Can I leave them in the same room now, or should I move the new baby to my room for a few weeks? Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well since you have already put them in the same room its a moot point now to quarantine but if this baby was given a clean bill of health from the breeder then he should be just fine. Quarantine is usually recommended when someone brings a rehome or rescued bird in when they already have birds, you don't know what they may have been exposed to or might carry. I would love to see some pictures of Echo if you would indulge us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
