Henie L. would like to know if Avi Cakes are good for birds who have had Fatty Liver Disease
For a little over a year, I have fed my Conures only fruits, veggies, and pellets.
The previous winter, I was stupid and simply fed them seeds.
My question is I have Avi-Cakes here that I feed my Parakeets.
Hello, a bit more than the tip my budgie’s upper beak broke off and I’m worried about her.
She is not eating eggs or any soft vegetable she accidentally ate her regular seeds and it started bleeding again.
Howards asks,
Can she have home-roasted garlic?
No Howard, birds cannot have garlic.
It is toxic to them in any form be it powdered, raw, cooked, or processed.
Jen M. writes,
Hi, we just wanted to thank you for the Hagen Tropican recommendation!
We ordered the sticks.
Our macaw just loves them and they smell amazing!
I feel so good knowing that I’m feeding them healthy food.
I had no idea that Zupreem had sugar in it and all that color can’t be good.
We also ordered the Prime Vitamin per your recommendation.
Lou K. asks,
Mitch, I have a fourteen-year-old sulfur crested cockatoo.
What nuts can I feed her every day without feeding her too many of the wrong kinds to upset her daily feed habits?
Julia M. asks,
Top of the morning! Could you tell me what a “good” diet is for a three-year-old Eclectus?
I have had him since the middle of his weaning.
Editors note ~ about 20% of parrots are sexually dimorphic meaning you can tell the sex by the bird’s color. Males are green, females are red, so Julia can use the pronoun “him” with certainty. Endnote
Jane M. is concerned,
Our Elenora cockatoo is 24 yrs old.
Hailey has lost 27 grams in one week.
Editors note ~ the species Elenora cockatoo weigh an average of 475 g, cockatiels weigh about 100g for comparison. Endnote
We weigh her weekly.
She’s really not eating and if she does, it’s only a few bites.
Judy M. is concerned,
I am wondering if I should give Alex his vitamins if he is eating Harrison’s bird bread?
I look forward to getting your email every Sunday and reading it has become as much a ritual as the old Sunday paper.
And now I have a question for you.
Thunder and Lightning are my bonded parakeets.
I’ve had them for years.
Last summer I saw more and more breeding activity, so I bought a box and let nature take its course.
Thunder laid four eggs, one of which was fertilized.
