Hello!
I should preface this by saying my bird is a peach-faced lovebird. His name is Winnie, he is young and healthy.
Lately I've noticed a behaviour that might develop into a problem though! Often when he receives a treat in his cage, some of the pieces fall to the bottom.
Recently he's come up with the plan that once the treat is finished, he'll scavenge the bottom of the cage for the extra pieces! Your poop is down there too buddy, that's a recipe for disaster!
Unfortunately, too much of the treats would be a bad thing as well, so I can't give him extra to curb his appitite.
Is there anything I can do to discourage him from doing this? Or is the only option to quickly clean the bottom of his cage after treat time?
Thank you for the advice!
