the last couple of days the 3 amigos seemed to have gone off their food, mainly the fresh. they have been picking at pellets but i dont feel they are eating enough so i have added seed to the cage and they are eating that. if i am having a sandwhich ir toast they wont leave me alone till they get some (nothing new there) but becayse they dont seem to be eating their fresh i find myself giving them more then i would normally and i know its not good but i just want to make syre they are eating.

apart from that nothing else is out of the ordinary, the poops are fine, playing, flying etc as much as usual. prince was sneezing a little yesterday mirning but has been fine today.

only thing i can think of if its not that they are sick, is the weather change. it has started to get cooler lately, i know fish eat less in the cool... but do birds?

should i be worried or am i just an over reacting paranoid parront?

There are days I don't feel like eating the good food! Do you have a scale? I would keep a close eye on their weigh

I have noticed that with the difference in temperatures and hours of light that my birds may eat more or less throughout the year. Right now with the longer daylight hours and warmer weather, my birds are starting to eat more food!
