    Are these pellets any good for an Amazon?

    I have a 1 year old Yellow-Crowned Amazon and she's currently on a diet of chop and a mixture of baby bird food, pellets, and veggies for her meals (I am aware she is being weened later than she should, we are working on it) and my mom bought these pellets off of Amazon for her. I want to know...

    What to feed when pellets are finished?

    Hi! I realised parrot only had a few pellets left in the packet so I ordered some more but it’ll take a few days (maybe 3) to arrive so what can I feed her in the meantime? The pellets left in the packet will only last a day and I feel so bad that I didn’t order any earlier :( I will be...

    Can wild birds eat expired pellets?

    So, a few days ago, when I was taking the pellets out of the fridge I've realized that they had expired by 11 days. I was horrified that I hadnt noticed it before and fed it to my birds. Thankfully, they seem okay and they didn't get indigestion. I was gonna throw it away, but my mum told me...

    Confused after the vet visit

    I brought one of my budgies to the vet today because she had dirty feathers around the vent and I have been worried about her increasing weight. They did an x-ray on her and diagnosed her with a lipoma. They understandably prescribed a diet. The prescribed seed mix seems to have the same...

    keep or sell?

    I bought these liquid vitamins to take with a seed diet just in case my gcc didn't like Laferber's pellets, but she does like them. What should I do with the Vitamins now? Would it be too dangerous to have my conure take vitamins with pellets and seed diet?

    HELP! I need to switch my cockatiel to another pellet.

    My cockatiel's about a year old. She just laid 3 eggs, I believe she will lay more.

But when it was a...

    Pellet Problems

    Hi all! I’ve been having a very hard time converting my cockatiel to pellets. I’ve tried multiple (healthy) brands to find her favorite, and she 100% recognizes them as food, but she will only eat them if I sit with her and pretend to eat them too. And even then she only eats a few before...

I tried offering it as a treat so it...
