    Tropical Carnival Big Bites?

    Anybody feed this to their macs or 'toos? I saw it when I was grabbing some pellets and I was intrigued. But even if you haven't, what do you think? A nice bag o' treats or too much fatty stuff? F.M. Brown Tropical Carnival Macaw Food, 14-Pound: Amazon.ca: Pet Supplies

    Eddie's Dorito Obsession

    I made the mistake of giving eddie a tiny piece of dorito as a treat. Now every time he sees a red bag or hears crinkling bags, he starts running around and screaming and yelling, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? COME HERE!". He goes through phases of being obsessed with various foods. Sometimes its a...

    My bird wont eat

    I got my bird from the shelter about a day and a half ago and she hasn't eaten since then. I put some millet and some yogurt bird treats to try to entice her but she hasn't really eaten it. I'm getting worried and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting parakeets to eat.

    How much should I feed my bird?

    when I say how much I mean like how many cups. I have a green cheek conure, about 6 months old. The pet shop I got him from was feeding him half seed and half pallets, and I'm doing that, I just don't know how much I'm meant to be giving him every 24 hours. I give him 3/5 of a cup in the morning...
