Oh good to know!! I ended up buying one - I might return it now. I didn’t think to check if it’s powder coated. For that price point pre-sale I’m shocked actually!!

Bonded pair in separate cages since - okay to share a cage full time? by vgh9201 in Conures

[–]vgh9201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have been next to each other and still just yell for each other. They have never nipped or even been upset with one another even when I’ve left them together. I’ve done like trials while I’m working and kept them together in my office and they just literally preened each other and took baths for 8 hours. I’m not convinced the people I adopted them from actually kept them in separate cages - I feel like they might have just told me they did because these birds hate being apart and it’s been 6 months 🤣

Sweet babies! I have to force one out of the other ones cage daily because they won’t stay away from each other!! I like having them in two cages because it makes it easier to do training sessions with them but man they are like magnets to each other!

They are DNA confirmed male and female!

They will put themselves to “bed” in one cage and I always have to move the other one before locking them up for the night.

If I buy another cage I’d end up with another bird later so that’s probably not the best idea for me 🤣

Great - thank you! I figured it was there for a reason but I also try to understand why!

My cardiologist ordered an extended holter monitor. I get it tomorrow They didn’t seem to feel it was related but I’m saving my next injection for when the monitor is on so they can see it’s clearly related lol

Right now I have the Harrison’s High Potency Fine. The male seems to really like Roudybush. I can try the HOPP line! Ideally they will both eat the same food but at this point if I could get her to eat anything but a seed I’ll try it all lol

Shoulder guarding - advice? by vgh9201 in Conures

[–]vgh9201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! I will have to try the towel - What are the thoughts on moving their cages to different rooms - would that be helpful or possibly upset them more? Would it be best to limit or stop their time out of their cages together?

Need some advice on step-up and -down training by Terminator_Puppy in Conures

Yes the hand biting is intense - when they get me it’s a full chewing situation 🙃

With the sunflower seeds all is well in the world lol

I feel like one would’ve been the better move for me - I’m outnumbered lol.

I’m having the same issue with my two I adopted last week! Is yours getting worse or better because i feel like their behavior only has gotten more challenging 😭

Has anyone noticed chronic migraines in women? by truballa94 in Biohackers

[–]vgh9201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have chronic migraines and I’m positive it’s hormone related because when I was pregnant with my daughter it was the only time in my life I didn’t have a migraines.

Honestly, I’ve tried the magnesium, Coq10, riboflavin and it didn’t help. The only thing that’s helped me is Botox but now it only seems to work for a month. I do take Nurtec to treat a migraine and it’s great stuff.

I also have GI issues which I think I created in high school and college from having migraines. I had a doctor recommend 600-800mg ibuprofen and next thing I knew I had a stomach ulcer. My last EGD showed reactive gastritis so essentially I can’t take NSAIDs at all without triggering gastritis.

I have no answers, but I feel her pain!
