Meeting neighbors
I recently took my pineapple green cheek to the vet (a vet I didn’t particularly like after an initial visit, but wanted a quick nail trim for convenience sake) which went fine. Once we got to the topic of diet, just like last time, I was told extremely conflicting information. All I’ve ever heard from other bird owners/doing my own research, is that full seed diets WILL lead to fatty liver disease. He insisted fatty liver comes from a lack of fat, and birds live much shorter lives on any form of pelleted diets. He boasts and boasts on how he’s a pioneer in avian medicine, but this has only brought more confusion to me on what I should be feeding my bird. I’ve never felt 100% confident in a diet for my bird. She’s currently on a Higgins natural pellet, seeds as reward/foraging and fresh veggies daily. He says I should completely eliminate the pellets. What are your thoughts?
