I’m excited to take April in to the vets and get all kinds of knowledge and a once over for my ekkie April , she is certified avian vet. Anyway I have 3 dishes going on and I’m interested in finding out what changes and advise she has for these beautiful unique birds . I have the mix that she is used to ( unsulfered dried fruits and veggies with it is zupreme naturals , which she doesn’t eat I started counting immediately and there was about 5 in bowl and throwing away all 5. I add 6 tops pelts in. Second bowl is Ceylon cinnamon sticks(2) and anise pods with cracked organic shell nuts , 3 rd bowl is fresh and varied daily today was juiced oranges watermelon cucumber on quinoa brown rice with soaked garbanzo beans topped with peppers and green beans, noir kale and sprouts. Organic chamomile tea as option. I’m hoping to be on the right path but open for anything, our appointment is 1:20 I took her along once already when my guinea Pig went in for her regular .
These are my questions so far:
-Is it normal for them to not be so good at holding on ?
- lights
- mites
- food of course
- what the heck is she doing up so dang early lol
- if I should be trying to touch her ( tolerance exercises), every morning now I get her out and give her a kiss and hug and sweet nothings but that is the only touching I do . Probably 10 step ups and take her to various perches and always kiss her beak but that is the extent of touching, tons of talking to her.
- silly question when does the eyes get white and beak get all black, just curious. That’s my line up thought I would share .
FYI tried the harness( I’m sure you can guess why) gonna take time for that one!! Cheers
