2023-03-21 02:43:12 +0000 UTCokay so i have been having issues with moths getting to the food recently we have been freezing their old seed mix until we need it do i need to do that with their new seed mix it would be great to know and i do know that moths decrease the nutritional value of the food

2023-03-18 20:31:42 +0000 UTCYeah. I think any way to get him close by is great. Sometimes I have my birds on the scale to be close.

2022-10-22 14:16:00 +0000 UTCYeah, some great suggestions in the comments for sure!

2022-10-22 14:15:34 +0000 UTCGreat idea!

2022-10-22 14:15:16 +0000 UTCToo funny how common it is for tiels!

2022-10-22 14:14:58 +0000 UTCI'm feeding wet, dry is a great suggestion!
BirdTricks
2022-10-22 14:14:39 +0000 UTCSprouted seeds is such a great idea!

2022-10-22 14:14:20 +0000 UTCReally? Gonna write this down in my notes. My African Grey favorites his sprouts, so it makes lots of sense. Thatโs dope because theyโre also very nutritious I bet one can also sprout grains for introducing fresh foods as well! (I have actually replace some of the cooked grains in my chops and SFS with the grains sprouted instead, very nutritious.)

2022-10-20 12:45:05 +0000 UTCI love how you make your food making day a full on culinary festival for birds, I am definitely going to incorporate my bird in making food. I donโt have a counter island like yours though, would it be as good to have him on a T stand by my side or perhaps even in his cage by my side?

2022-10-20 12:36:39 +0000 UTCMy cocktail hates mornings! She's actually a night owl like me. Lol she sleeps morning to late afternoon, then becomes super active after her dinner (which is breakfast to her) I actually have her light altered now to what she likes. It comes on at 2 pm and goes off at 2am. Her training is around midnight! Her choice also. I'm converting her to Birdtricks' cockatiel mix, but I keep her birdtricks' pellets and her old Zupreem natural bowl full at all times. Recently in the last two days I have seen the Birdtricks' pellets missing and dust left. I'm so relieved after seeing her at her pellet bowl frequently now. Her diet before I rescued her was only Finch seed. So it has been a struggle. She still absolutely refuses fresh food, but after reading posts I'm going to order some freeze dried and try that. I have noticed she loves crunchy food over wet soft food.

2022-10-19 07:05:05 +0000 UTCMine too! He still is the same way.

2022-10-18 01:32:42 +0000 UTCIt's funny that the cockatiel I had was not a morning bird either. He loved sleeping late and was always cranky in the morning.

2022-10-17 18:28:28 +0000 UTCMegan's suggestion is great! How I got my teil to eat sprouts was sprouting wheat berries. He went for them without hesitation. Also, are you feeding the seasonal feeding wet or dry? I had to use freeze dried veggies to get my tiel interested in fresh foods because he hated anything wet and squishy. Then, I slowly began to add moisture to whatever veggies I was feeding him (then your freeze dried came out 2 years later lol). When I first offered the fresh seasonal feeding, I had to squeeze the life out of it with a paper towel. Now, he eats it normal.

2022-10-17 17:40:19 +0000 UTCOh I love budgies. Such audacity. That is exactly how my budgie acts with my cockatiel. Constantly wants to be friends and Putin is like 'heck no, keep your distance blue, fast thing'. I found sprouted seeds were a game changer when offering fresh food.
