Eating during the day

Māui (white bellied caique)
Does anyoneā€™s caique have days where they pig out on all the food provided to the extent that the next day they donā€™t really want to eat?

This week Māui pigged out on literally everything I left for him during the day (I work) so I came home one day to find heā€™d demolished everything left in the foraging wheel, part ball, cup and pipe forager, plus heā€™d sought out all the treats Iā€™d hidden in the cage toys. The next day I came home to find he had barely touched anything, he had eaten but just not much and he did eat scoff his dinner down.

Heā€™s gone back to eating normally now, but Iā€™m just curious if anyone elseā€™s birds do this sometimes?

My background is with Amazons and they can have super Pig-Out Days, Weeks and sometimes Months. But the next day, they have tended to eat at a normal rate, well for an Amazon... :D

I believe you have a younger Parrot and I have heard of such events with younger Parrots.

With luck one of our Breeders will stop by and provide guidance.
