Hi, so a few months ago I was looking online for a parrot cage (used). I stumbled on this "cage" that had a cag and an ekkie in the cage. I was looking for a cage because I was planning on adopting a parrot( specifically looking at ekkies or Greys) . The description said everything including birds and tree stand. So I drove 3 hours and picked up my new babies.
Sounds too good to be true right? Well no it really worked out well for the most part.
The person I got them from had them on pellets and said "I give them an orange or apple and they tear it up". Well, not so much. They will eat the pellets fine but since I myself eat fresh fruits and veggies and sprouts I figured I would add that to their meals. Neither of them are eating any of it. Apple's, oranges, grapes, mangoes, alfalfa, spinach, arugula, celery, carrots, or sprouts. Fresh, sliced, chopped, cooked it doesn't matter. I have found that my Ekkie will do just about anything for bananas and my grey is the same for almonds.
They are both beautifully feathered. I've had them a while now so I'm introducing my Dane to them now and that's going well, but I would like some help with the diets
