Hi there, I've had my little green cheek for a few months now and she's great! she's happy and plays and is super crazy. However, I understand that fruits and veggies are necessary to a parrots diet, and I've tried and tried but she just won't eat them! I've eaten some to show her it's okay, put...

sorry it's been a really long time since I've been here. My life went topsy turvy. I had Apollo on Higgins small bird formula and it doesn't seem to sit with him well (we went to vet, they were clueless) What do y'all feed your quakers? I know seeds are bad. What can I buy for him that would be...

Hi all! So I got Chirp to eat pellets, and now I'm looking to get him on a healthier seed mix. All of the ones I can easily get are chock-full of additives, preservatives, dyes and other nasty things I don't want going into Chirp's body. So the obvious answer, at least for me, is to make a mix...

Does anybody have any suggestions for getting REALLY stuck on food off of the walls...? I feed fresh food (mixed vegetable mash with sweet potato/squash) twice a day, and both of the birds (especially my baby grey) LOVES to throw his food all over the place and for the life of me I cannot get it...

Hi everyone! I've been working on getting my parakeet, Chirp, over to pellets for a while now, and while he still doesn't really eat them (at least that I've seen), he at least seems to recognize them as food. So I've been meaning to try and get him to eat fruits and veggies for a while (he's...

Hello! I have a few questions about homemade seed mix. Should millet be the first ingredient? Is hemp seed a good addition? Also, if anyone has a recipe for homemade seed mix that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

My lil dude has been doing quite well! Step up training went great. He is going through his nippy stage currently but don't they all haha. Anyway, the only naughty thing is he will not stop shaking his water dish!! He doesnt do it to the food ones. He grabs onto the side of the water...

what high quality food companies should I be looking for my Quaker? He had Mayans but throws about half of it away. Stores have dyed food. I'd rather not get that. Can you guys point me in the right area?

Hey guys... Ok, so I am about ready to bring Oliver home (a brand new baby Timneh African Grey), and although they may seem stupid, I have some quick general questions. So right now we only have one parrot, Emma, and she is an Eclectus, so her diet is very specific. No seeds, no nuts, no millet...

Hi friends!! Looking for advice on my White Bellied Caique's new behaviors... A little back story: Mango is 5 years old and I've had him a few months. He's so fantastic, active, and hilarious, and I love him, attitude and all. He was such a catch. We also have a blue and gold baby Macaw (7...

So along with their chop and small seed amount in the morning, my flock has pellets 24/7. Yuka and Mimi (GCC and 'tiel) love the Zupreem naturals. Never took to Harrison's but thankfully have taken well to the Zupreem. Now Kumo(Lovie) has nibbled a bit on them, but really isn't eating too much...

What does everyone feed their Lovebirds? I'm seeing that most bags of seeds also have other birds on them, can Lovebirds have a range of foods? Just for future reference I don't want to give them a food that's not okay for them if there isn't a lovebird pictured/labeled. I will eventually...

my 10 week old Linnie, which I have already introduced in another thread, doesn't seem to drink from his/her bowl. He eats the seeds he has in one bowl but I haven't seen him drink from the water bowl. I've misted him and after I do that, he starts to lick the water off of his perches. Should I...

Hi all! I just brought home my first conure yesterday and he (I don't know the sex, obviously, but I call him he!) is already such a joy! His name is Terry P and he's a 5 month old golden capped conure. I have read that fruits, veggies, legumes and whole grains are very important parts of a...
