My bird has a problem. He enjoys ((trying)) to fly. He was cared for improperly at his breeder and his feathers were cut off his wings in a very sloppy manner. In short, he can't fly. He finds jumping off his cage and flapping rapidly to be a good past time. Unfortunately for him, that hasn't been doing his feathers well. Every single feather that has tried to grow back in has been cracked and/or broken by his splatting on the ground. I always try my best to catch him, but I don't always make it. Which brings me to my question.
What foods are best to feed to promote strong and healthy feathers? Olive oil is very rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for feathers (according to a quick Google search) but is very high in fat in general so I didn't know if that was safe to offer. Any great food options that you know of would be great!
