new birds quarantine

Post by Denise » Mon Apr 10, 2017 8:34 pm

Hello all my savvy finch friends. Just added 2 society finches to my menagerie. Just had to have a crested. They are so silly! And a friend for him. So now they are in quarantine and doing fine. How long should I keep them separated? What should I do ( if anything) while they are in quarantine. I know nothing about birdie meds. The plan is to add them in with my mixed aviary/cage. Thanks for all your help! What would I do without you guys?? :roll:

I quarantine for 30 days normally. If they were coming from a very poor environment I might push that to 60 days.

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.
