    Are they overweight?

    Hello, can anyone help me, please? I have been trying to get my budgies used to pellets with every method possible I think (after months still no progress). I tried to mix them with seeds, wet them, put only pellets for 10 hours and many other suggestions. They always spit it out and won't touch...

    Can wild birds eat expired pellets?

    So, a few days ago, when I was taking the pellets out of the fridge I've realized that they had expired by 11 days. I was horrified that I hadnt noticed it before and fed it to my birds. Thankfully, they seem okay and they didn't get indigestion. I was gonna throw it away, but my mum told me...

    keep or sell?

    I bought these liquid vitamins to take with a seed diet just in case my gcc didn't like Laferber's pellets, but she does like them. What should I do with the Vitamins now? Would it be too dangerous to have my conure take vitamins with pellets and seed diet?
