| So here's what happenend. I've been looking to get a bird for sometime now. I was put in touch with a woman who no longer has time for her conure. I went over to meet Paco last night and was just blown away by the condition he was in. I am not a bird expert by any means so please bear with me here. His feathers on the top of his wings were plucked to the point where there were no feathers on the top half of his wing and he was bleeding. The feathers on the lower part of his belly had been plucked until there is nothing left. He was in a very small, dirty cage, and he himself was very dirty. My heart just broke when I had to leave, because after all he is still her bird. I'm wondering what to do. I was debating bringing into my home, but I have four children and I am worried that will just make his stress worse. I feel I should do something, but now sure what? Can any one offer a word of advice?

aww poor bird! I had this happen to us w/ a mitred conure. When we went to see him I instantly felt sorry for him and took him home. I wasn't looking to get another bird at the time (It was a favor). His belly was bald, his nails were so long they were almost curved into a C and he looked very thin. We took hm to the vet the next day, he had to have a nail completely removed but after blood tests everything was fine except his calcium was very low. We got him on a good diet, found he loved to bath daily and shred paper. eventually his feathers grew back, mostly downy but at least he wasnt bald, he got a good bill of health and we found him a forever home  SOOOOO maybe he NEEDs YOU and you can get him a vet check, put him on a good diet and he will love you forever
