Can you do an updated video about healthy food for conures? What food should I give them? How to get them to eat their veggies? What seed mixes to avoid?
ive started making my own seed mix, it cost a little more it was £30 overall, but mine are only a low seed diet mostly used as rewards, or they get a forage tree with seed twice a week and it is lasting for EVER .. highly recommend it, specially if you have a few birds
Thanks so much for all your helpful videos! Our 'tiel has been so healthy thanks to the knowledge you share. We have watched so many of your videos before he even joined our flock, and I wish that all prospective bird parents will do the prepatory work to ensure a happy and healthy life for their bird children.
Hi Sophie, thanks for another fabulous video on parrot care. I've learned a lot about healthy bird diets, training and cage setup from you. I do have a question about feather bronzing, my GCC is experiencing moderate feather bronzing on her back. What could be some possible reason for feather bronzing? Could it be a lack of direct sunlight? (I'm Canada and there's no way to get my birds out during winter) BTW, she's eating chops in the morning, and dry seeds mix + Harrison and TOPs mix in the evening. Thanks!!
Hey! If it’s definitely bronzing then the two most common causes are oils from our hands damaging the feathers over time, or f wet gear wear and tear and they’re coming up to a moult!
3:54 If you don't mind me asking where did you get those 2 long natural perches x Also I loved all these tips and I might have to go and order the birds some tops heheh. x
What to do when my bird hates eating anything wet? He is almost 6 months old and I am trying to get him to eat more veggies. I got him to eat sprouted mungbeans but only because I eat them. He wants to eat everything that I eat.
@ he wants to eat almost anything that I eat. That is how I got him to eat carrots and sprouts. It also helps if I sit with the plate or bowl in my hand 😁 When I eat banana or apple he will try it, but he doesn't like the consistency of the banana and will only eat the outside of the apple or rather he peels the apple and drops it everywhere 😂
Thanks, we hope you all like the video.
The flock say thank you for the yummy seeds 😊

I have an updated video on how to get your bird to eat veggies! And have you seen my ‘what my conure eats in a day’ video? 😊
@ I will definitely check it out, thank you
My bird is always running for a cup where I had coffee in. I made it a routine to rinse the cup. Amazing how fast they are 😂
They can be so cheeky 😂
@BirdNerdSophie yes! and want what they can't have.
My top tip.
Had a elderly African grey with liver damage.
Milk thistle done wonders for her but it has to be ground down from the seed
Oh absolutely, milk thistle is great! 😊
"perch potato" haha birb version of couch potato but they are more inherently potato shaped
They are 😂💙🥔

Would the soaked seeds be fed in the morning, or in the afternoon with the dry mix? Thanks so much Sophie!!!
We feed them in the morning with their chop 🤗
Could you please cover..... Supplements /vitamins, uva/uvb lighting an the dangers of grit, still being pushed on birds that don't need it?
I’ve integrated them into other videos but I’ll see if I can make some more 🥰
@@BirdNerdSophie don't worry, I will look again for it here.... Thank you
When you didn't have tiles what did you put underneath the cages on carpet? Right now I use sheets.
Nothing haha, the carpet needed to go so we didn’t do a whole lot to protect it!
@@BirdNerdSophie lol gotcha. 😆

They’re from The Natural Bird Product Company 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie Tysm! I've been looking everywhere for a long perch that isn't a dowel🥰

You can get freeze dried veggies and sprouts, and check out my video on how to get your bird to eat veggies 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie thanks, I will 😊
If your bird will eat anything you eat then maybe try eating more healthy foods in front of your bird and let them steal it. 😂❤
