Thanks everyone for the advice. We'll try more veggies and less apples, etc. Also, yes the temperature has dropped considerably and we've got snow and freezing temps now. (really weird for Ireland!)

Depressed Indian Ringneck? Please assist

Hi, we've got an IRN, called Ziggy. We speculate he's around 7-8 mos. old.
