Background: Since relocating we have been experiencing a myriad of new...challenges... with Mav. While he did exceptionally well for about 15 of the 16 hour car ride (he panicked when it got really dark so I had to hold him the last hour ish), he has not quite settled in to our new home. This was our first move with him, and we are trying (PATIENTLY) to get him back to being happy birdy. On top of everything he has been doing the cluck-cluck-big-bird chicken thing lately so I'm worried that puberty and the Hormonal Wars are impending. His second birthday is tomorrow.
Anyways...
I've noticed that lately he will stand on top of his food bowl, reach into it with his little dino claw, grab a handful of pellets and throw them onto the floor. Multiple times. Rainbow. Pellets. Everywhere.
This is the same food he was weaned onto at the breeder's and we've continued it without problems. He eats Zupreem Fruit Blend, and we mix in the Veggie mix from them as well. He usually leaves the purple ones to be thrown away, so I thought maybe he was trying to throw them out but no, it's every single little pellet all over the bottom of his cage.
Any insight into his food fighting?? I need to order more pellets for him and am unsure if I should buy something different for a change.
