They are two weeks (apple) and ten days old (cherry), neither have loose stools all are firm, they are very active, vocal, and are motering around the nesting box, they aren't thin at all, in fact Apple is round as an...well... apple.
They were all exposed at some point or another- I have one building for the lovebirds and the macaws are in the house, but when Mango and Kiwi laid their eggs I moved them into the house which brought any exposure to the PBFD virus inside with them. The rescue bird was outside with the other lovebirds. It had come in with very bad feathering, I tested for PBFD and it was negative. It was adopted, then died of PBFD two months later- right before it died it was tested for PBFD and came back positive. It was very sick, no feathers at all, neurological symptoms, couldn't perch etc. I was told by the vet that lovebirds are notorious for hiding PBFD for years sometimes, carrying it and spreading it but showing no syptoms and sometimes even testing negative for it, then wham it comes out. Apparently thats what happened here, but in the meantime it exposed all my birds to it for the month or so the rescue bird was here
I've been worried sick ever since, but we've gone through all the cleaning and quarentening we can do ... just waiting on test results.
