Hey everyone! I have noticed my Lovebird Kiwi's feathers have been coming in "wiry" and just not too healthy looking. Last trip I took her to the vet, they said she was plucking...Sadly I moved to an area where the nearest bird vet is 3 hours away. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation as to "vitamins" or a food that can bolster her immune system, feathers, health, etc.? Something I can put in the water or mix with her food?
I have been desperately trying to get her to eat veggies and fruits, but she is DEATHLY afraid of anything other than seed and groats. (She will literally hyperventilate and scream at the edge of her cage if I put anything other than seed in her food bowl). I have tried the fruit flavored "pellets" from Kaytee, but she doesn't seem to like them too much either. I'm just really concerned shes not getting the vitamins and nutrients she needs.
