Talk about bird illnesses and other bird health related issues. Seeds, pellets, fruits, vegetables and more. Discuss what to feed your birds and in what quantity. Share your recipe ideas.
Sunny used to gobble down all of his pellets when he saw me fill his bowl, but recently, after we've started training more, he hasn't been touching them at all. He may eat two or three, but then he just waits for the next training session to eat more seeds. Should I halt training all together until he eats his pellets again?
Either you're giving the bird too much treats during training so he's no longer hungry or the bird is sick and not eating. Depends on how much treats he's getting.
I'll try lessening the amount of seeds I give him for now. I think I'll chain together tricks so that he does more work but gets less seeds. If that doesn't change anything, I'll go with the pellet option. Thanks guys!
