Hi everyone I posted an introduction thread a few days ago. I now own 2 RB2's, one mine and one my partners.
I'm new-ish to parrot/cockatoo ownership but have had my RB2 (Meisha) for just under a year. I have learnt a lot in that time, and over the last few months have made a huge change in the care of her. We now also have Max, another younger RB2.
Anyway, I thought I would post some pictures - but I also have some questions (I'm a worrier!).
1. Meisha's crest is significantly shorter/smaller than Max's. Is this anything to worry about?
2. Meisha's feathers are also a lot 'fluffier' than Max's, again can this be normal?
3. Recently (last few months) I have changed to feeding more vegetables than seed, and they rarely get any seed now. While slowly losing weight, I think Meisha still looks too plump. Any other suggestions?
Now for some pictures!
Meisha loves scratches
Fluffy Meisha
Max
An example of chop mix I feed (ingredients change daily - I like trying new combos)
- green beans
- carrot
- cabbage
- mix lettuce
- quinoa
- chilli pepper
- beetroot
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- small amount of corn (to encourage them to try new things which stick on it)
