food

Hi everyone! I just got my Budgie a new type of food and she is not interested in it whatsoever. I know it can take a while to adjust them to new food, but I was wondering if there were any ways to make it more interesting to her so she will want to eat it. I tried offering it as a treat so it...

Hi, I have a male rainbow lorikeet I just recently started taking care of, I was feeding him apples and other fruits and didn’t know he needed nectar and pollen till recently, today I received his orlux Lori feed which contains both nectar and pollen, I wanted to ask as well as this feed along...

Just a question my mom had cause she was eating fox nuts and wondered if we could give it to Cookie, our cockatiel.

Hi all! I have recently been told that the bird food brand Kaytee has been linked to causing strokes in birds, I haven't really been able to find anything about it but I am still a little afraid of feeding her this brand, so I have recently switched to the Harrison's Feed brand for her main...

Hi! I’m the owner of three budgies who live in a large flight cage together (we previously had four, but unfortunately one passed away), and they usually get along pretty well, but they get aggressive with one another when food is involved , I.e when I hold millet, they often squabble and even...

Hi everyone. This will start off sounding like a health post, apologies--I promise it is about food. So, I've always been very careful with my bird's diet...but I messed up by accidentally giving her too many Nutriberries. I know better than to feed seed but I didn't realize I was overdoing it...

I'm about out of food for my girl and need to buy some more. I bought some from Mysafebirdstore before but was considering just buying from the site itself. Anyone have any preferences? Thanks!

Luke lost some weight by not eating his food on his second round of antibiotics (which It was put in the food and is a bitter tasting medication). He was pretending to eat so I didn’t realize he wasn’t eating until I could physically feel his keel bone when I went to pick him up. He is no...

I’ve prepared Finn’s first chop, he’ll try it out tomorrow, but until then I want to make sure it’s all safe :) I’ve searched every ingredient, but I guess I’m trying to do everything right haha. Raw-spinach, red pepper; cooked-sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, green beans, green peas, quinoa...

Hello All, I am going to apologize in advanced, this is going to be a long post due to the amount of details. For me this is one of those situations of what came first the chicken or the egg? I am trying to figure out if my attempt of converting my very new parrot from a seed based diet to a...

Is there any recipes you make for your birdies? I want to possibly bake something nice for them! Thank you

How do you all bake sweet potato for your birds? Do I have to use oil? Can I put them in the fridge to save them and use as needed? (bonus question lol) what veggies are best for birds? What fruits? Thank you!!!!

What is the proper diet for a Green Cheek Conure? From my research, I have found that most people say that nutritional pellets are the way to go (Zupreem, Harrisons, etc.) due to supposedly having all of the vitamins, nutrients, minerals, etc. a bird needs. My grandmother has been raising and...

I am trying to find the best place to find human grade nuts for my CAG. I’m mainly looking for walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds. I found nuts.com and Anuts.com; I also think I found someplace called nuts wholesale (if someone could give me the correct name please :lol:) but if anyone could tell...

Hi all, My hubby has celiac, and because birds are such MESSY eaters :), we're trying to find a pellet and a seed mix (for out of cage training) that does NOT contain oats, wheat, barley, or rye. I'm having a really hard time! I know I can buy things separately and mix our own seed, and...

My cockatiel's name is Starscream, she's 4 years old and I got her on September 13, 2019. She was originally a breeder's bird but the breeder didn't want her anymore so Star was sold to me as a pet. She was extremely hand shy and I trained her myself. She now loves coming out of her cage...

Well, my IRN has been with me for at least a month and his quarantine is ending tomorrow but the last two days he started dropping the treats I give him 95% of the time and, if it was only treats it would've been fine but, I changed his diet from all seed to fruits and, vegetables which then he...

Hi everyone, I’ve been doing some reading online about lovebird diets and apparently you are not supposed to feed them a lot of seeds. I’ve had my lovebird mango for less then a year and I occasionally give him veggies and fruits, I also give him pellets but he barely touches them. Do you guys...

Due to the fact that I'm not always at home, I would love to give the new birdy ( who is come home in a few weeks! Had to be pushed forward due to slow weaning :) ) some vegetables whilst I'm gone everyday (obviously not for very long though). Is it ok to offer dehydrated/freeze dried veggies...

Hey everyone! Im ordering Harrison’s Pellets for my 2 keets, but I don’t want them completely on pellets. Though seed mixes can be fatty, I’m not sure my parakeets are going to have a clean easy switch to pellets so I was wondering what a healthy, no artificial flavors or colors seed mix i can...
