You have a wonderful flock there. And they are so comfortable in each others company. I just wish Chankya could be that comfortable in the presence of my budgies.

Hi Krystal,

Is the poop watery the whole week or just a couple of days? If it is watery the whole week then i suggest a pet examination. If it is only for a day or two wait and observe.

Re: My new baby Kiwi

Hi Josi,

I think he is just being a bit moody. If he is liking the brazil nut good. But are you sure of it. I mean is he liking it or just eating it. You must experiment with some more different nuts or pellets. As mentioned before he must like it and should be ready to anything for it.

I think the suggestion given to you before about clipping the wing just for training and then let is grow is the best option for you. He needs the time out of cage, That will calm him down and he will also start trusting you.

Hi Amara,

Welcome to the forum.

You are already on the right path by letting your bird settle down. Also since he/she is injured so I think you should wait till the bird recovers fully.
