    Choosing a bird food!

    Hi, I need help choosing a bird food for my two budgies. They are currently on the seeds that petsmart had reccomneded me to, but I know that it isn't healthy. I am aware of the tops pellets, Harrison’s pellets, and Lafebers pellets, but it’s too expensive for my budget. In fact, the Harrison’s...

    My two cockatiels' favorite food is Harrison's extra fine, they love it and there's no wasted food. Unfortunately, it's a little difficult to get my hands on right now so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for foods with a similar texture? I've tried roudybush, they eat it but the...

    IRN would not eat inside his cage

    Hello everyone! I own a 3 month old IRN baby and I have to admit I spoiled him a lot. I got him right before the Corona thing started, so I was able to spend a lot of time with hime, maybe too much. He ended up eating and being weaned outside of the cage and usually only goes to his cage to...

    My GCC is biting all of the sudden

    Hello, I have had a sweet baby GCC, Tiki for about a week and a few days now. He was such a sweet heart for all this time with only a few bites when he was curious and just feeling with his beak. For the last two days, however, he all the sudden gets an attitude and bites down hard on our...

    Conure eating all budgies food

    Hi everyone, I have a 5-year-old GCC (Koby) and just recently got a budgie (Helix) (that’s a whole other story). Koby (GCC) is on a pellet diet (with fresh veggies etc.) and he gets seed as a treat. However, Helix’s (budgie) diet is predominantly seed. They are getting along really well, except...

    New Tiel Help

    Hi everyone, I bought my first tiel last week, and things have been going pretty well. He’s a male white-face, I’m not sure how old. He’s taken to my hand, and even likes kisses. He has a large cage and he comes out every day. Lately, though, the only thing he has been doing is searching my room...

    Pellet Opinions?

    What brands do you feed your conures? I have been feeding my green cheek Zupreem (dye-free) pellets, but I’ve noticed that when he eats these his droppings have a sour smell, and his feathers seem to develop black spots (not entirely sure it’s due to the food or something else though). Either...

    My baby lovebird is 3 months old, and she refuses to eat anything except seeds. We switched her to a food that has no millet or sunflower seeds. Recently, we started giving her pellets and gradually mixing them. We're to the point where if she runs out of the seeds, she refuses to eat the...

    I feed my conure the RoudyBush California Blend bird food as that what he was already eating when I got him and his previous owners said to keep him on it. However, for the past couple weeks, I've noticed him picking out the pellets and not eating the fruits and vegetables that come in it. When...
