I recently acquired a BH Pi. I am not confident on his age or most of the information I was told about him and recently found out that he was being kept in a cage that I had previously deemed too small for a green cheek conure when looking for cages for a new baby coming home-
So now I am trying to make sure that any and all possible things that I can improve for him are done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He came home to a macaw sized cage and spends most of his time out of the cage either on the back of our couch or on the play top and while he was SUPER shy when he came home, he's really coming out of his shell now, talking up a storm, making all kinds of noises and calls. He's a lovely lovely boy and deserves the world no matter what.
He came with Vita Prima Large Hookbill Safflower Formula but everything I've read about bird health in general suggests sunflower, safflower and peanuts are things to stay away from in a daily diet, and that's pretty much all he EATS from the mix as everything else is tiny seed sized. He is very picky, does not accept anything from hand except peanuts and so I'm being faced with needing some info not only about how to transition a VERY picky Pi to a better diet, but what even IS a better diet than what he's on?
