I read that hemp seeds are safe to give to birds as part of their diet, but I was wondering if it's safe to share some hemp milk with my green cheek. Does anyone have any input? It's much appreciated! :rainbow1:

My green cheek conure, Ducki, has been molting for what seems like forever. I am aware that birds should molt once or twice a year and sometimes it can last months, but I am pretty sure she has not gone out of a molt in years. She molts her tail and wings on a more usual schedule but her head...

Hey everyone, my name is Andrea. I currently have only one bird, a budgie named Fynn. I am currently working on hand taming him as he hasn't had much human interaction. :smiley2: He's a sweet little guy, and i'm also working on getting him off of the dreaded seed only diet. I'm pretty sure he...

I heard about Harrison's High Potency recently and decided to look into it since it is recommended for birds recovering from disease or some that have been on crappy diets for most of their lives. My question is, why is it so "good" if their fist ingredient is sunflower seed? I thought those...

Kinda hard to tell if she's fat, or just has her feathers fluffed. I don't know how old she is, I found her in my backyard about a year ago. She has a bad foot. Only one talon works. Maybe that keeps her from exercising? Her diet: all she wants: Rowdy Bush, corn, brown rice, apple. She won't...

Hi there! I'm writing not as a parrot owner but as an animal lover. My friend's roommate has had his parrot for over a decade. They are quite bonded of course at this point but I've become rather concerned for how the parrot is taken care of. For a short summary it seems the parrot isn't getting...

Hello, Me and my partner have just got a baby African grey, and we just wondering what everyone feeds theirs. At the moment we feed him on fresh veggies in the morning, some seed throughout the day and then some fruit and grains for dinner. Just wondering what seed or pellet you use (brand)...

I know that ginger is a nice treat for birds; but is it safe to let them drink lemon and ginger tea. I bought some the other day, it's a health food brand, and I thought if i made it cold, a little bit might be a nice refreshing treat for my buddies. Does anyone know if it would be okay to give...

So, I'm a little bit addicted to parrot research. :22: I only get my baby boy in December, but could practically write my PhD on the Eclectus by now (slight overstatement). This was one of the BEST sites I've come across, and while I'm sure many people will already have come across her, for...

My adopted TAG came with a large quantity of some seed/pellet mixture food. It is what he's been eating for years, but I've noticed that he does not eat it all...he will pick out the peanuts and millet and sunflower first, then just pick at the rest. I give him fresh fruits and greens, but most...

I came across a site that has amazing articles about the causes and treatment of plucking and mutilation in parrots. It contradicts much of what we have all thought and been told by experts about parrot nutrition and digestive and metabolic processes. The explanations and scientific evidence is...

Its week 2 of the diet makeover in our house. We have had numerous dumping of the pellets & veggie bowls, days of constant screaming, days that mommy is not his favorite person anymore. I've heard that you can't out stubborn an amazon & I'm believing it. :mad: I have eliminated the seeds...
