Sun Conure Feeding Times?

[BridgetTracy]

I've been getting mixed opinions whether or not to always have food available or give it at a fixed time and take it away a couple hours later. Which is best?

Your bird should get meals at specific times, such as within an hour of waking up in the mornings and then just about dusk in the evenings. The bird depending on age may need a couple of additional meals of soft foods in between these two main meals. In addition to this a bird should always have some food to eat all day, other than seeds or nuts.

Correct. Adult birds eat, mostly, twice a day. Once in the morning (at dawn) and once in the evening (at dusk) BUT they need food in their cages all the time (well, except at night when they are sleeping), especially juveniles (which is what you have), only the food left all day long cannot be a protein source (seeds, pellets, avicakes, nutriberries, nuts, etc). I feed mine gloop with raw produce in the morning and for all day picking and a dinner of seeds/nuts in the evening.
