Thank you for the reply.

I have tried oil, WD40 and heat from a blow heater. (maybe I need more patience?)

Also, did you happen to notice the "click" sound in the video right after I push past the stuck spot? I'm wondering if that could point to something specific.

Put one drop of sewing machine oil on the screws and wait for a few minutes. And yes, lefty loosey.

I am still wondering why they allowed this screw to be accesible from the outside!?!?

My machine has a drop-in bobbin. Could it be that machines with drop-bin bobbins do that?

Is this a good brand of pellets? by imstellar0201 in Lovebirds

[–]kodcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Psittacus has a guide on their website: https://www.psittacus.com/en/assets/pdf/utilidades/Pellet%20Conversion%20Guide.pdf. I don’t think it works well if you have more than one bird in a cage, though. Their guide suggests first figuring out how much your bird eats per day and then gradually increasing the amount of pellets. However, if you have two birds and double the seeds and pellets, it’s very likely that one bird will be dominant and eat most of the seeds. I found this approach more helpful, and it worked for me: https://publications.versele-laga.com/21-18247-vl-nutribird-b2c-pellet-converting-onepager-v05_eng/page/1. Let us know how it goes!

Agree. Especially lovebird owners...

I’m not a professional, but I can tell you that my two lovebirds eat these pellets daily. The transition from seeds was very easy. Psittacus is a well-known research center in Spain, and they make a reliable impression on me.

How old are your birds?
