Hi, so I have a lot on my mind currently but I don't want to come off as causing trouble as soon as I arrive so I'm not going to disclose any names what I am going to say is I was advised to put my budgie on a diet from a so-called professional bird trainer.
Being someone who takes advice but always double checks everything that's exactly what I've done and continue to do with any advice given. I contacted them because I was having a hard time with taming and I'm fairly new to owning birds and have little experience or at least
as much experience as I could possibly find roaming the internet, which isn't always the best source of information but I don't know who else to ask there isn't anyone around. So here's my problem I went to a couple of forms and wiki to double-check dieting with budgies wiki told me that budgies don't need diets and so didn't a forum on Facebook that was made for budgies. But then I got a professional telling me all birds need diets even budgies and some others here and there have said the same information so of course now I'm unsure who to trust. Is there any accurate studies on this? Because I'm not sure what to do but heck, I don't even know to begin with why that was suggested to begin with anyways she's not currently on a diet and won't be until i know who's right and who is wrong. Also should i be feeding her pellets or seeds mixed with veggies? currently it's seed mixed with veggies but that's another conflicting informational piece that i keep finding people debating. I'm so lost i hope someone can help me shed some light on both things. By the way, i came to these forums to because I've always liked forums over chats and facebook. Gives me time to collect my thoughts and feelings and calmly communicate or ask for clarification easier. Other things for me feel too fast confusing or occasionally aggressive and scary to even ask for help i just like forums ya know?
Side note: Sorry if the spelling and grammar is poor i try I'm not the best at it.
