now what the hale do i tell my conure now that there’s that parasite outbreak and im scared to give him his daily fruits and veggies????? literally so torn rn. i dont want him to get sick but its his fav time of day to get his snacks. can birds get the parasite??? ill eat them fr if it meant id get sick and he didnt 😭😭😭😭 i grow Some fruits and veggies but not enough to hold him over until this is figured out, i know there are ways to naturally disinfect fruits after buying them but i keep seeing that that wont even get rid of them/the eggs unless you fully cook them. this is INSANE man. what if i buy from local markets?? if they’re organic and homegrown they won’t have the risk would they? i usually try to only get organic from the store anyways bc it’s hard to hit up the farmers markets before they close cuz i work weird times but if they’d be safer than the ones at the store i will def make the time ,,,,,,AHHHHHHHHH

after many years of attending warped tour, ive compiled a list of things ive found very useful during the day there—i thought id post it here incase there are ppl who are struggling on what to bring! this isn’t to say you need EVERYTHING on the list, but just some ideas :)
