I know my conures vet told me never to let him eat a piece of food after me or pick my teeth, our bacteria in our mouth can be hazardous to our birds..My conure and eclectus have the same avian vet. She is awesome with the conure but as time goes by I realize she is not experienced with an eclectus, yesterday when i asked she noted this is her first eclectus she has treated..I know she is a good avian vet, but I question her advice when it comes to eclectus on nutrition now.
I clean my girls cage daily to, i also wipe it down because she cleans her beak and leaves a mess on the bars. I leave gitanas food out, she gets a bowl in the AM and another smaller size during the evening, My girl likes to eat. I have read where its said you should remove the food after a couple hours if i did this my girl would starve, because she eats a bit , talks, plays around, eats somemore LOL she is not one to eat until she if full she grazes all day long.
I do tend to feed her like fruits and beans at night in a small amount she will get that down before her bedtime. In the AM i try to stay away from fruits that I know could turn color left in a bowl for hours so she gets leefy greens, carrots bellpepper jalapeno..Basiclly I thought if i can leave the veggie or fruit on my counter all day without it going nasty thats what i put in her bowl in the AM.. Beans i watch very carefully as they can get nasty quickly so thats why i put those at PM i can get to that bowl and wash it out.
