What type of medication is she on? How often does she have to go back to the vet for checks?

Have you read up about quarantining birds?

We have a meyers at work, hand fed, but they are very bossy, and dominant. She will only do what she wants to do, and can bite very hard if I push her....shes a sweety when she wanst to be and so pretty but if they arnt handfed they may be very hard to train, and even if you do train them be ware of their bite its no pleasant...but they are so fun to watch, they are a riot!

What's the background on the Meyer's? Do you have room to quarantine her from the Quaker and the conures (you have a few conures, right?)?
