diet

Hi all! I'm looking into adopting this eclectus. It is obvious that he needs a beak trim. Besides that, I'm looking for help as far as his feathers. Right now he is on seeds and pellets, but will be switched to fresh veggies and some fruit when I get him. Is there any hope of getting his...

Hello, I am in a very tough spot right now after realizing I made a huge mistake with my green cheek conure. She is very sick and I want to get some advice. I thought my bird Cosmo was eating a healthy diet, but I guess I was not paying enough attention to what she ate out of what I gave her...

Hello! I've been running out of ideas to convert my quaker and cockatiel to pellets. I've had them for years, so needless to say they're not giving up without a fight. However, I recently found that they like their Zupreem pellets a lot more when they've been soaked in hot water and become a...

Hi guys, hope everyone is well! I'm new to the forum :) reaching out for help with my greys addiction to corn on the cob :p When I got him 2 month ago he was on an all seed diet with morning/evening meal of corn on the cob, apples and bananas. Since then I have successfully converted him to...

Greetings everyone! New to the forum with 10 years of living with parrots under my belt. All but one of my birds are rescues or rehomes having been given to me, two from our local animal control. Recent addition is a DYH amazon, beautiful girl we’re calling Bonfire. I’m worried about this bird...

Hello ! I am new user of this forum.I need an advice for my budgie. It is too fat and it couldn't even fly. Please suggest diet for my budgie. Thank you for your advice.

So my local bird store has a female eclectus that is 21 years old that someone needed to rehome. Physically, her feathers look really good but they showed me the diet she has been fed for at least the past 4 years (the person who surrendered her was the second owner so they were unsure of what...

My parrot has been eating mostly a mixture of seeds and pellets + fruits. Is this all a parrot eats? I could just search it up on Google but I would really prefer ideas from the community so that there are people that have experimented with what a parrot could actually eat. I can really feel...

Hello! My Green Cheek Conure is 4 months old and he's a picky eater. He's on a seed diet and likes to eat apples. I tried feeding him vegetables multiple times, he licks it but doesn't eat it. Previously I tried feeding him hard-boiled eggs, but he doesn't like that either. Today I cooked him...

Hi everyone! I just got a cockatiel around a week ago. When we got him/her (she/he is now 7 weeks old and fully weaned) she was on a seed-only diet. We are trying to convert him/her to a pellet diet (Tropican lifetime formula mixed with ZuPreem FruitBlend pellets) Do you have any tips? :grey...

Hi all, i've been trying to get our little Quaker to swap over to pellets from seeds. I'm about a week into trying consistent conversion tactics but she seems to thwart all my efforts! Current pellet brand i'm trying is Vetafarm South American Pellets which is what i was told to get for her...

Hello everyone, I have just joined the forum. I have a yellow male budgie. In normal life, I have been feeding him primarily with "VERSELLE LAGA Prestige Budgie" seeds including oats, safflower, millet. Apart from these seeds, each day (only once a day) we are giving a very small...

I recently obtained the greatest cockatoo ever (my completely biased opinion!). She was gotten for free, but was apparently taken care of people who meant well, but didn't do well for her. Her foot was broken in the cage, her nails are wrapped around, and her feathers are horrible. She has...

My parakeet has brownish feathers above the cere crusty beak and always wants to sleep my Vet said it was malnourished so I bought some liquid supplements and gave it more sunlight Is it true what else could I do then

Does anyone ever feel like despite all their efforts that maybe their little feathery friend isn't happy? To give a little background, Aki is a canary-winged parakeet that was stuck in a pet store (and in an undersized enclosure) for over half a year before I couldn't stand it anymore and...

I have two green cheek conures with the same set up but only one has healthy looking feathers. Is it over preening, dry skin, or diet?

OMG, Maui comes home in 1 month after we get back from overseas! So excited. I am now looking at getting him pellet food so everything is ready when he gets home. Currently the breeder is feeding him Vetafarm pellets with some seed and fruits/veg. But having looked at the Vetafarm pellet...

My little Meyers will do anything for safflower seeds. She also loves to forage and have found many places in her cage to hide these little seeds to keep her busy. I probably hide about 10 in her cage and she has so much fun finding them, but I don’t want her to gain weight as well. How much...

I recently bought a package of frozen veggies from the grocery store, it contains a mix of corn, carrots, green beans, and peas. I have seen pictures and videos of people giving their parrots these foods, but some say that corn can be deadly for them. Are the other foods safe, even if they’re in...

I have some questions! I just got my new boy from a coworker who wasnt giving him enough attention (but otherwise took great care of him). He has been on the same diet for about his whole life I think, for a majority of it. Just frozen veggies, some beans and frozen fruit, and pellets. She also...
