- Cricket and Stache - Green Cheeked Conures
hello !!
i have two green cheeked conures - one of which is a sweet angel, and one is… not so much haha.
the “problem” bird, cricket, screams throughout the day, even with his needs of food, water, and toys met. he lives in a fairly large cage with my other bird. because i am at school for a large part of the day, i cannot let them outside of their cage until the evening when i get home.
i am wondering if putting cricket on a different diet would help him. currently he is eating roudybush as his main food (in addition to fresh veggies). from what i know, roudybush is high in corn and therefore high in sugar. would switching to another pellet brand that is lower in sugar help him? if so, what are some good and relatively affordable brands that may be better? i am thinking about tops or zupreem, but i’m not entirely sure what would be best in this situation.
