Just wondering when folks feed their birds? I feed a pelleted and Seed mix once, everyday, and usually in the eve when they naturally forage for food. Other stuff is randomly during the day so it doesn't go bad.

We freshen the dry bowl throughout the day with greens and other wet foods in the morning, afternoon and early evening. Always something new and interesting. We never introduce or cause a fear of limited food!

They always have full bowl of pellets and one if seed mix in cage.
Morning they rush out of cage to forage on the veggies option. Pellets available out if cage as well free choice. Lunch they steal from my food. Afternoon mob me for next batch of veggies evening when put back in cage is mainly crunchy on seed mix . But I often hand out ant left over veggies or something I've made for dinner that is burd safe.

A crossover Quaker Scuti (F), A Sun conure named AC, A Cinnamon Green Cheek conure Kent, and 6 budgies, Scuti Jr. (f), yellow (m), clark Jr. (m), Dot (f), Zebra(f), Machine (m).
All the bowls are full with different stuff so it's like a buffet. In the morning it's all replaced when its wake up time. I have skewers to put veggies on that I use and toss the food out before bed. usually they have broccoli and cauliflower, sometimes other things, I mite slide a pepper or a grape or apple slice onto them. I just kind of mix it up. Treats go on the play area on top of the cage and tend to disappear quickly.....as does the broccoli and cauliflower. The budgies love the little florets of the broccoli.
