Horses love pumpkin! It’s full of essential vitamins and nutrients, plus it’s a fun enrichment and foraging toy.

❤️💚Operation Go Green Go is underway! 💚❤️
Please stay tuned for updates as soon as we are able to put updates on this beautiful fellow’s condition.

On October 17th, we were given notice that an emaciated Green-Winged Macaw was surrendered over to Everything Birds of Oldsmar, Florida.
Our team immediately reached out to offer assistance to the business as this parrot was pretty much near death and in serious need of medical attention.

October 18th, one of our staff members was able to pick up this beautiful gentlemen of a bird.
During the car ride, the parrot has maintained high spirits and enjoyed hanging from the ceiling of his travel cage. We had the parrot at St. Charles Veterinary Hospital to be examined, the results so far show that he’s just very malnourished, no serious signs of illness.

October 19th, we mailed out extra bloodwork to Animal Genetics to look for diseases as an extra precaution. We have successfully been transferring him over to a pellet and chop based diet. He really enjoys his chickpeas and peppers.

October 20th, he had enjoyed a big breakfast and is resting comfortably in his quarantine cage.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern for the well being of this bird. We will do everything within our power to maintain transparency as we move forward with this rescue’s health and wellness updates.

🦜WHY DISEASE TESTING MATTERS: PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS

Here at The Aratinga Conure Aviary, one of our biggest responsibilities is protecting the health and well-being of every bird that comes through our doors. One of the most important steps we can take is disease testing and quarantining new arrivals.

🩺 WHY IS TESTING IMPORTANT?

Birds are incredibly good at hiding signs of illness. A bird can appear happy, active, and healthy while carrying an infectious disease that may put other birds at risk. Testing helps us identify potential health concerns before they spread throughout a flock, aviary, or household.

🦠 WHAT DISEASES SHOULD BIRD OWNERS KNOW ABOUT?

Depending on the species, history, and exposure risks, an avian veterinarian may recommend testing for diseases such as:

• Psittacosis (Chlamydia psittaci): A bacterial infection that can spread between birds and, in some circumstances, to humans.
• Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD): A viral disease that can affect feathers, beaks, and the immune system.
• Avian Polyomavirus: A viral disease that can be particularly serious for young birds.
• Avian Bornavirus: A virus associated with proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in some birds.

Not every bird needs every test. The appropriate screening panel depends on the species, age, medical history, potential exposures, and recommendations of an avian veterinarian.

🏡 WHY TESTING MATTERS IN RESCUE SETTINGS

Rescues frequently welcome birds from different homes and backgrounds. Without appropriate screening and quarantine procedures, an incoming bird could unknowingly expose other birds to infectious diseases.

Responsible disease prevention includes:
✅ Veterinary examinations and risk-based disease testing.
✅ Quarantine and separation of incoming birds.
✅ Good hygiene, handwashing, and appropriate disinfection.
✅ Preventing shared food bowls, water dishes, and equipment between quarantined birds.
✅ Following veterinary guidance before introducing birds to an established flock.

🌿 TESTING ISN’T ABOUT FEAR—IT’S ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY.

Every bird deserves a safe, healthy environment and the best possible chance at a happy life. By prioritizing veterinary care, appropriate testing, and biosecurity, we can help protect individual birds, entire flocks, and the people who care for them.

Be proactive. Ask questions. Work with an avian veterinarian. Help us make responsible bird care the standard, not the exception. 💚🦜
