Lemme preface this by saying I don't feed my bird a 100% seed only diet. I have more common sense than to feed him only seeds and not try to give him other foods like fruits and veggies. That being said, I bought some bird food from Walmart whenever I got Mickey this bag of food. It looked and...

Local pet shop had a budgie abandoned so I took it in as I have kept budgies before (not a breeder) whilst I was on my way to collect, I was told that it looks like the mother bird had thrown out the chick and had left the nest. I told them to put the chick back in the nest and leave until I got...

My 6 week old hand fed cockatiel almost doesn’t stop begging. I feed her 10ml of formula at 11am, 4pm, & 11pm. She also gets spray millet & zupreem seed/pellet mix throughout the day. Am I doing something wrong? The begging makes me think she needs to be fed more formula but I’ve heard that more...

I have just joined and hoping for some advice. I have had Sully since he was 7 weeks. He has been a joy last week, he was not acting correctly. Not wanting to eat hardly. I typically fed him 100cc 3x daily. I could hardly get 50cc in him. Took him to the vet. They swabbed his crop and found he...

Hi everyone! I was navigating the internet the other day and came across these automatic/digital pet feeders that you can control through your phone, even when you’re away. As I live in shared custody and am away half the time, I was curious if this would be a viable option for feeding my birds...

Hi all, I have a flock of five budgies currently and need some weight loss help. I've had keets for 15+ yrs now, but I've never had a big issue with obesity until recently. My current flock of keets are all 3-5 years in age. I also have lovebirds. My birds live in species-specific large flight...

This is going to be a long one, sorry. So Sunday was a bad day. My Amazon parrot, Joey, had a blood feather in the morning, my sports team lost, and the IRS sent me a letter telling me I owe them MORE money. Serenity now!! Fortunately, Joey's blood feather clotted by itself, and although it was...

Hi! I’m getting my first budgie tomorrow. I’ve been getting prepared for about three weeks. There is only one thing i’m not sure i got right: healthy eating. After alot of research, I made my own mix using organic seeds. I’m looking for feedback and making sure so i will share my recipe: 50%...

Hi, My Pineapple conure didn't eat millet. Only they eat sunflower seed, safflower seed, paddy rice, hemp seed. They just eat those seeds from seedmix. How can I let them to eat millet?? Thanks

Hi everyone! I have had my cockatiel, Delilah for about two months now and she is such a wonderful bird but still not hand tame and is on a full-seed diet. I want to eventually switch her over to pellets but as I am self-isolating for the foreseeable future, I am instead trying to get her to eat...

Um, hello! I'm new to cockatiels... and to forums... and to birds at all, actually. A few days ago I bought my first cockatiel who is approximately 7 months old. I kept him inside the cage for the first few days; he would eat from my hand and stand on it and ask for my presence when I went to...

Hey guys!! I need help! I got a new baby lovebird! She is 7 weeks old and is not completely weaned so I need to feed her twice a day and finish weaning her. Its my second time with a lovebird but my first with the feeding experience! We got her about 3 days ago and she is extremely hungry! Very...

So my tiel, Ayrendi, will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and she is showing zero signs of wanting to slow down on her formula feedings. That said she IS eating seed, pellets and veggies every day. She has been eating all three for a few days now. In fact she's chowing down on the seed and pellets...

Hi, I'm a new bird owner or at least new to taking care of Green Cheeks. I recently bought a new baby green cheek which is only about 8 weeks old, and isn't weaned. The breeder told me I should be fine handfeeding him for another week or two, but he hasn't been eating any of the hand fed food...
