Hello - I have the opportunity to buy a baby hand-fed Jenday conure for about $400. (Right now I have a female cockatiel). Since I've never seen a Jenday in a pet store, I have no idea if that's a reasonable price. Can anyone give me some info on temperment, amount of noise, how to ensure it gets along with my cockatiel, etc.? I understand conures in general are noisy, but I'm under the impression that the hand-fed ones are less so. I know that I've finally recovered from the loss of my first cockatiel, because now I'm really excited looking at new birds again. Can anyone recommend an avian vet in the Boston, Massachusetts area? I've gone to Angell Memorial, but that's where my first bird died, so I'm a little leery of them at this point. Thank you, Linda Lovero
