Beatriz Cazeneuve - questionable episodes of grace? I like that! That is too funny.

I also have a cockatiel who is VERY attached to me. She's been both clipped and flighted. She is currently flighted. She wants to be on my shoulder 24/7. If I don't want her on my shoulder and put her on her basket she flies right back on my shoulder. She drives me crazy. I just thought it was too sad seeing her beg to get to whereever she wanted to go.

Dozy is usually ready to go to bed at 8:30pm.

Thanks

Thanks. She has a pretty blue one too. Was saving the blue one for when she gets used to wearing it and won't destroy it. Hopefully that will be soon.

I worry about her not eating as healthy as she should. What can I say I'm a mommy and mommies worry. When I first brought her home it seemed like she was eating veges much better than now and I don't know why that is. She absolutely LOVES sprouts so that is a good thing. Wish I could find a pellet she likes. What do you do if you can't get them to eat veges? How can I suppliment for veges?

Thanks again

Thanks again.

Well you really need a plan with your vet. Greys especially get calcium deficient. Thats why we give Calciboost. But not in pellet eaters who get chemical suppliments in their pellets or they get overdosed.

If you can post EXACTLY what she eats (which her vet will need to know, too) we can help better.

I hesitate to tell someone not to give pellets if it's the only practical way even though I am not a pellet lover.

For eating fresh you simply REMOVE the other stuff. LOL yeah sounds mean.

Your problem is you have to work from 8-5. That's why I dont think a mostly fresh diet will work for you. I'd do Harrisons Hi Po IF that's recommended for her age ....if it were me, or discuss the other ones with your vet.

Then all the fresh can be pushed in a different way and it's not so life or death.


But for sure when you're home or off work just give the fresh.

Dont JUST give veggies. I dont know any bird that makes a meal of just vegs. Even when they love veggies after eating awhile they like to look for a seed or two, a pellet , a grain, a nut ....something that's not just, say the Broccoli alone. They like and NEED variety. Like us within one meal. SO give the vegs, dark greens, some grains and some fruit. Dont overdo the grains or she'll focus on just them. lol.

Looks happy to me!!! I noticed recently jazz spends more time upside down that right side up!!

HA!

Hi Cindy215

Here's a good example of what she eats. This morning I gave her a bowl of assorted pellets mixed with nuts and seeds and a bowl of sprouts. That's it. She picked thru the pellets and ate the sunflower seeds and nuts but no pellets.

When I got home I cut up some veges (carrots, zuchini, yellow squash, corn on the cob and some fruits (apple, orange, strawberries) and offered them to her. I also warmed up some Beak Appetit which she LOVES. I notice that she doesn't want to eat anything as soon as I get home. She wants my attention and to be out of the cage and on me. I was afraid she wasn't going to eat so I took a spoon and fed her and she loved that! I'm glad that she eats the Beak Appetit as that has a lot of good things in it for her. We played around for a while and after a while I put her on her playtop with the remainder of what she had not eaten. After a while she started eating. Did a great job on the Beak Appetite and egg and she nibbled on some corn and maybe a piece of yellow squash.

I am very please with the way she at tonite except for the veges.

Thanks. She seems very happy.
