Just to clarify Ellen's generous and kind words, I'm not a pellet advocate per se. I wouldn't feed my birds most pellets with their preservatives,...

That is awesome that he took to the pellets so fast! Yaaaay Freddie! He really is a smart and happy bird and is settling in well!

Well done, Freddie!

Gimaal has been in touch with me and recommended the pellets I had already ordered Harrisons Super Fine. They came early yesterday morning and I...

Thank you Maxollie about your advice on the chickens which I have passed on to my cousin. she has asked me thank you.

I fed Freddie some of the Harrisons pellets mixed in with his regular food yesterday morning and to my amazement he picked out the pellets and ate...

Yes, that's a young male's cere--purplish-pink. Though I had to enlarge the photo to see that it was not tan. And the website you cite is...

Thanks! The cere is very pink/purple without any white or tan. The basement lighting is bad. A breeder's website said that pale blue/white baby ceres...

I am hopeful Aaron (Gimaal) will see your post. He has vast knowledge of pellet feeding, and budgies as well. I am not into feeding pellets. Just...

When you say three hens, do you mean budgie hens, or chicken hens. From the info I got from those two vets I mentioned in my post, they seemed to be...

Thank you. The Harrisons arrived early this morning so I will start Freddie on his new regime straightaway. Thank you for the tip about the mirror....

Romaine is a bit more nutritious than other lettuces but it's still very high water content, hence the wet poops. The beet greens are good. See if...

BTW, the canary expert on this forum, whom Ellen referenced, is also a Harrisons fan. The Harrisons website has lots of good info about making the...

Hi Maxollie. You seem so knowledgeable about our feathered friends and my cousin has asked me ask you something. My cousin has three hens and as a...

Thank you. I have ordered Harrisons High Potency Super Fine Pellets for Freddie. I gather I should feed Freddie this for six months and then change...

This may be one of the most debated points of bird ownership--seeds vs. pellets--and you'll hear passionate arguments on both sides. Most avian vets...

Hello Maxollie. I must apologise I am having trouble with my tablet. My earlier thread to you was cut short. Thank you for your tip about...

Thank you so much Maxillie. I am glad you told about the broccoli. I haven't used social media

Thank you so much. It is nice to know I can ask for advice and tips. I am gradually going to change Freddie's diet over to pellets as I have been...

Yes, the plant is fine! Take a very tiny amount of the aloe Veda juice from the plant and mix it in the warm water. I think birds are an ideal...

He is about four years old. He and Ethel are siblings. The third tiel, Fred, is an older bird and shows some signs of arthritis. He needs a proper...

I am happy your baby is doing good and its crop cleared. Sour crop is a very serious issues and thankfully your baby is doing just fine now.

You did fine. And welcome to you, your canaries and your new budgie.

That is awesome news! Your little baby will be your best friend for life. There is something special about handfeeding them. It socializes them as...

How old is Dino? If he is up in years, he could be getting a little arthritis in his wing bones. A good supplement for that would be a small amount...

Hi, and welcome to the community. Congrats on bringing Freddie into your home. Broccoli is a member of the cabbage famiky , and should never be fed...
