Fat and Grease
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:05 pm
So, my bird raided my trash can and stole a piece of fatty, greasy pork fat.
It took me a few minutes to notice he wasn't following me around the house. So I went to check on him, and there he was, stolen piece of fried fat dripping with grease.. and eating the hell out of it.
So, i took it from him. Luckily he will drop things into my hand, so taking forbidden items away from him is pretty easy at least.
This piece of food was very bad for him to be eating. I mean he had grease all over his face. There's a reason this piece of food ended up in the trash can!
My question is, how to counter the grease he ingested.. Watery foods aren't necessarily the answer. When he gets something a little salty, i make sure he eats watery foods for the next couple of meals.
Should I feed something really dry now? Seed and pellets only? Maybe I could give him some bird gravel stuff.
You should see him now, he's sitting in one of his favorite spots with his eyes half open/closed... satisfied look on his face...
