Hi Coppertop! Welcome to Pet Talk! Everyone here is so very supportive and friendly, I'm sure you'll get a lot of responce.

I am taking from your message that you are going to have this surgery done? I think it would really benefit your bird to have this fixed, animals heal so well and adapt even better. I have never had a conure, but I love birds. I am sure Jaci will recover quickly and in the event that she has a limp, she'll be fine.

I'll be praying for her speedy recovery! Please let us know how she is doing.
