Toby the Eclectus has sour breath [/b]very[/b] often. One week it is fine, one week it is sour. My intent is to to keep him healthy, but I feel so bad that I can't provide a healthy environment and healthy food for him on a daily basis. He's been to the vet 4 times with this issue in his short 4-year life. I often feel he would be better in someone else's care.
Okay, enough of the emotional side of things -- now, how can I prevent this?
I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong. My thinking is that either his chop is going bad in the fridge or his "fresh" food is staying out too long during the day. Instead of analyzing what I'm doing wrong, I'd like to hear how folks feed their birds fresh food throughout the day.
So, how do you manage feeding your birds fresh food? How long is it available to your bird? How often during the day do they get fresh food?
My goal has always been to feed our Eclectus 80-90% fresh veggies and fruit due to the unique requirements of Ecletctus.
Thanks in advance!
