Afternoon everybody!
Another question from me!
Just wondering the best pellets to feed Bo. When he came to me (one week ago) he was on a fully seeded diet and had never had fruit/veg (he is 5 and a half months) I have introduced fruit/veg gradually due to his age and him never eating them before. He absolutely loves veggies and enjoys throwing certain fruit around his cage, my main worry is the pellet side of the diet. He currently has a small amount of 'PSITTACUS' pellets mixed in with seed as this is what he is used to and the pellets were sold to me at a shop which stocks them.
When I got my parolette I fed him on harrisons pellets and he loved the birdie bread, is harrisons recommended for CAG's also? Just wondering your experience with diet for your birds.
Also a question about best practice for blood feathers, he has not had one yet but want to be prepared for when it does happen to save me freaking out and traumatizing the bird!
I am in the UK and have a friend in the USA who told me she just pulls her birds feather out which is bleeding and leaves him to recover, is this normal or should I be taking him to a vet? I would have thought to take him to the vet but just thought i would ask how you guys deal with blood feathers if and when they happen.
Thank you for your advice!
