Pajarita; Couple of Questions Please!!!

[river-7]

Hi; I am wondering about raddicco [sp]and what properties it has for birds if any.And endive- I don't think it is nothing more then water but don't know for sure as I have not got that far yet. Appreciate any info you can help with. Being an old broad there is only soo many hours in a day you can research-not that I am lazy just have not got there yet. Thanks so much for any help you can give me and any others that respond with different veggies that you give or feed[safe of course] and your baby enjoys.Thanks to all.And question to you as well Wolf; I respect your bluntness in posts and therefore I respect your opinions.River-7 Sorry do you think he's too young for chili peppers[dried] ??? thanks again

Endives are relatives of escarole and are actually quite good for them (betacarotene, vit C, calcium, sodium, etc). I have to admit my birds don't get them often at all because it's very expensive and I have A LOT of birds so I end up buying the cheaper greens.

Radicchio is a relative of chicory and, although it's not high in the vitamins and minerals we usually look at when talking about nutrition, it's very high in antioxidants and vitamin K so it's good for them. Unfortunately, my birds don't like it (the canaries will not touch it for some reason) so I use kale, instead, which is also high in vit K.

Great; Thanks once again, and my canary eats everthing I give him. When I bought him I was told no veggies and no coloured seed; Don't know why but he loves his veggies and quinioa especially is his favourite. I was also told they don't play with toys[my first canary] And he actually bangs his toys with his beak and baths in ice cold water every morning and he's put on some much needed weight since I have had him[3-years now going on 4]-when I got him his feathers kept coming out and for the first year all I did was clean up feathers and it was not a molt just improper diet I think as I don't know enough about canaries but he don't loose any now and eats great and loves his food.He has a little black tuff on his head and I call him=Tee-Toe and he knows his name.sings like crazy every morning and in the evening. Great little guy. In all my years I never had a canary and found him to be a great little one, he was and is my first one so I have a lot to learn about him as well. Never to old to learn river-7 Ps; Baby Zuess had a cold bath this morning I totally forgot about cold bath for the oil for them.

Can Zuess have chili peppers or is he still too young??I bought him some but have not given it to him as yet. And this morning I think he remembered the syringe, and I also think he was forced weaned. He pumped away like a quaker would and had about 10-15-ml. So he was hungrey and finally remembered someone had given him a syringe feeding and then took it away. So he looked forward to it this morning and was waiting and calling me to feed him.I am happy that I can feed him.The good in his formula I think will help him along. His feathers are beginning to look very bright and clean and he's looking very happy for a little guy.He has an orange vest and it goe's to his vent so I am thinking male but don't have a dna; and don't care if he's female or male but I think male from what I have read. No orange on his tail, at all picture will be coming soon. River-7
