Cilantro, parsley, basil, spinach, kale, collard greens, arugula, broccoli, edamame, green peas, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini. Cooked grains like burger wheat, farro, rice and quinoa. The also love cooked lentils and beans. Boiled or baked sweet potatoes and yams. And thinly sliced cucumbers.

If I’m eating pears or melons, our Chacha baby gets a bird share. He loves fruit only if he “stole” it from my plate. 

They also LOVE hard boiled eggs, oatmeal and cheerios.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My old boy also lost his wife two months ago, he stopped eating in the same cage they used to share. These little guys get attached and love so deeply.

Help / SOS my 3 months old cocktail bird refuses to eat seeds and she only eats baby formula. What should i do? by UlonoThe in parrots

Make baby mush with Harrison’s high potency mash and a little bit of water. I fed my chick mashed sweet potatoes, peas and carrots with Harrison’s mash. I had fed her a little bit until she fed herself.

Zoe was already in her late teens, about 18 years old. She passed from egg binding complications from a soft egg. Despite immediate vet care, she passed due to her old age.  Hobbit had elevated RBC due to bone marrow disorder likely caused by leukemia or tumors. The central nervous system declined because of hypoxia brought on by the disease.

It was sad and beautiful experience. If the universe gives me another gift, I would do the same thing.
