I have a 5yr old Scarlet Macaw.
Instead of seed, so much unwanted in the bags, I have started buying people’s granola and mixing it with fresh fruits and vegetables.

I have an adorable budgie named Peanut.
His beak started to grow about a year ago and I wanted to know what I could do to reverse this if it is possible, I know that means he has a fatty liver.
Ward asks
My blue crown conure of at least 25yrs is acting odd. He seems to be scratching and bobbing as well as if he’s just very uncomfortable.
I recently ordered some peanuts in the shell and would give him 3-4 each day as a treat.
I started noticing very small moths in my home that lead back to the bag of peanuts that was teaming with larvae.
Do you think my conure is in danger from eating these peanuts?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

What do you recommend as the best brand of seed mix and the best pellets for my Eclectus female (red)?
Darla S asks:
Can you suggest a few medium-sized parrot species for a 1st-time owner about to turn 60y?
I am interested in moderation (moderate affection, playfulness, independence, friendliness, and noise) ability to talk would be a plus.
I still work full time, and live alone in my own house.
Kimberly asks
Is Zupreem a good brand for a GCC?
What brands of pellets do you recommend?
Dear Kimberly
Zupreem is a very popular bird food pellet. It is a commonly found variety found almost everywhere. It is puffed and contains sweeteners which cause the birds to take to it easier than many other pellets.
