Just did a weight check: My black-capped green cheek conure is normal weight at 72g, my turquoise green cheek is 100g They share a cage and food bowls (and my chubby one tends to get first dibs).
They have a healthy diet: Breakfast is homemade mash/chop, heavy on vegetables, dinner is a few Nutriberries and Roudybush pellets (limited quantities). Snacks are fresh veggie skewers with mostly peppers. Treats for training and getting into cage are walnuts, safflower seeds, pomegranate seeds. Fruit is very limited.
How do I put one bird on a diet when they share everything? Grateful for any tips from anyone who has been in this situation.
