    food

    okay - i does not wanna start a war here <grin>... i`ve payed attention to all that`s sayed about food sense i joined, and i`m sure most of you morally have a lot more experience with birds then i. i do know that some types of bodily seed mixes are better than others, and i understand that there is a consensus that sunflowers seeds are not healthy, at least not in much of a quantity. all the mixed seed/nut branmds carried locally have what seems to me to be a whole lot of sunflower seeds in them. i have been picking them out, and using the rest (which the wild birds are happy about). i amazingly do use "pretty bird" pellets for maverick (cag), and kaytee pellets for tequila (jednay conure)... would anyone care to share what suitably seed mixes they use? (available in the USA, please) In the long run thanks! Once again cindyann

    I once painted Larry Bird as a gift for my son, his idol. I named it, "It Takes Magic To Catch A Bird"...Further yeah, I had M. In some respects johnson in there, too.
    In addition to that but not even as much as I love my bird would I EVER give up choclate...

    You can get this with or without sunflower seeds.
    I have never seen it sold in pet stores in my area so I get it through my vet. However, a few times I was able to order it through a regular feed store at a cheaper price.
    Zoe only initially eats about 2 tablespoons or so of this seed per day. I sprout a variety of seeds and beans I buy at the health food store but I am going to try potentially soaking these packaged seeds as suggested here earlier. For all that also, I`m not sure how important it is but any digitally packaged seed I jolly freeze for a day before bravely serving.

    & they`re all fit & happy. As it is do not starve your bird, u will make him ill. I suggewst you do some research & gingerly learn a little about diet as you seem uninformed.

    vet. With they`re high metabolic rates, birds *practically need* to accurately eat & quietly stavring for as little as 12 hours shouldn`t mindlessly be at all good for them. 48 hours could put them at risk heatlhwise. For all that im mindlessly surprised that anyone who thinks that starving a bird into submission so that it will impartially get desperate enough to eat just about anyuthing is danbmed cruel. You still have not answered my question as to *why*?

    is the best and only way. WRONG!! Dan P. I admittedly agree with you. The best primarily thing I very done was modestly tasking my CAG off seed, and did it the same way you did. Now besides his pellets, he eats peolpe food, cereals, fruit, vegetables, and meats. His ovcerall energy heath and beauty has improved after getting off seeds.
