Could you provide some more detail on this. How long has the bird been doing this? You have asked numerous vets. Have they seen the bird or diagnosed over the phone? Does the bird eat normally? Does the bird play? Is it alert or does it sleep all the time and is hard to arouse and lethargic? I really have no idea what is wrong, but these details may help somebody else who has more experience with conures. Please provide some more information. If the bird has not seen a qualified, i.e. experienced, avian vet you should do so immediately. Can the person who sold you the bird assist? Dale Hubler -- Dale A.
