Injured Bird Dislocated hip

Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently posted a couple of weeks about my sun conure limping. He had an xray today and turns out he has dislocated his right hip. The vet said manual manipulation is almost impossible due to how small and fragile a sun conure is. They said the only treatment options are either leave as and make him as comfortable as possible or surgery. Has anyone experienced this before? I’m very worried and really sad to see him not able to walk anymore. He’s still eating normally and himself but only really flies instead of walking. I’m in the process of setting him up a hospital cage and trying to limit his movement as best as possible. We are still waiting for a second opinion from the avian vet who deals with surgery/ orthopaedics before we finalise what to do next. Any suggestions or information welcome and would be highly appreciated. 🙏

Normally I would just flip the fan on for a half second and he would fly away. Now he seems to enjoy it and I'm not willing to go any faster.

My little Avalon here is about 1 and a half years old, but the longer our relo goes on I start to fear that this "Conuritis Stupidiosis" he's been born with will never be cured. Tips?

Unfortunately due to reasons my 2 green cheek conures will have to move with my sister to another house. I spend most of the time with my parrots and was wondering if they will miss me and be depressed. My sister did take some care for them but not nearly as much as me will they be fine for a year? Another issue I have is thay for like 4 months they will have to be on a small cage rather than the big one we keep them in. The photo is the small cage. Will they be good in that for 4 months till I bring them the much bigger cage?

I’ve been giving my moon cheek chopped veggies and she seems to love them I see videos of people adding grains and cooking them I ordered some but I’m not sure if this is safe for birds or not also it’s a bit pricey so if there’s any recommendations I appreciate them

She loves clicking the buttons and usually clicks her beak to the noise of the buttons while I'm gaming or using a keyboard. She's honestly the perfect little buddy. Anyone else's conures love watching you play video games or use the computer? She also clicks along to keyboard strokes so I try to be extra loud in my typing for her lol.

Advice Weird way my conures sleep caused a bald/flat patch

Thumbnail

My conures sleep weirdly together. Mimzy sleeps with her head tucked into Chowder’s head while she’s on the side of the cage. They sort of tense against each other so they don’t fall.. a bit unique, but they’re conures.

Chowder has a bit of a flat patch in that same space. It’s not bald at all but just super flattened. Is this of any concern?
