Why Can’t I Change My Birds Eating Habits?
I recently was very excited to purchase TOPS birdseed.
Well, no matter what I do, will my 40-year-old Yellow-headed Panamanian Parrot eat any of this seed.
A lot of money wasted again.

Too Many Sunflower Seeds in Volkman Ecky

Hi Mitch and Catherine.
I have been feeding my Eclectus Volkman seed for Eclectus for a long time.
Seems in the last year the bags are half full of sunflower seeds.
I reached out to the company and they said they would look into it but needed numbers off the bag.
Didn’t save the bag but told them I could order a small one to get numbers.

I’ve been placing my hand (palm down) to hold a treat near her cage door, she usually takes it.
I have 2 questions.
I have a cockatiel that a friend gave to me.
When I first got it, there were clearly dark bars on the underside of the tail feathers.
One of the answers from the big Q.
It has been done but I personally advise against it. It is unnatural for them to hold it, and if they become too well potty trained they may harm themselves if they think they can’t go at any given time.

Parrots poop about every 15 minutes on average.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
