Hey idlepirate, I'm a real pirate, just 200yrs too late,(jimmy Buffet, "Pirate Looks At 40") any way

haha excellent, your lucky you have the whole look going (wouldnt suit me very much) and you get to be on boats all the time. Do you ever take your parrots with you fishing?
I went through a pirate faze when I was younger (before all those lame movies came out haha) and the pirate thing just stuck

Thanks for your comments, i guess ill try out a small pack of harrisons then and see how it goes. Nutribird besides looking so big also look colorful so maybe they have too many colourants too. I just hope hope hope he doesnt reject them. Ill spend anything on the right food, i want him to have the best... i just want him to eat it

Ill have to ask about the sellby date since im ordering off ebay, hope they last a decent amount as lorenzo is only small and young still and doubt hell eat too much.

Thanks everyone for the comments

[url][/url]Hey Pirate, Yeah i've taken several parrots and Crows fishing with me ,sometimes for 2-3 wk trips. I used to have a crow named sammy who lived on the boat and went fishing with us for years,He finally got lost over board in a storm and several of my crew were heart broke,we lost him a few times but always found him floating around waiting on us ,we search long and hard for him the last time but conditions really sucked and it kills me to think of him waiting for us to find him, but i guess such is life on the Big Pond.Maybe i should have left him at home with the kids but he really loved being on the boat and run around the deck finding fish parts to eat and little trinkets to hide in his secret stash spot. I quit carrying pets fishing after Sammy as the ocean is a hard and unforgiving place, not only on birds but people as well.This got alittle more involved than i planned, sorry.

Wow sounds like you're living an adventure, im sorry to hear about Sammy. I would feel the same if I couldnt find him. I always get very attached to all animals. I suppose if its rough seas its not the best idea to bring any animal along, but for smooth sailing it looks like loads of fun for a parrot. Love the photo of marlin, i can only imagine all the ropes he can climb around on a boat like that

Thanks entranced I keep hearing about Harrisons organic, i think id possibly be able to order it online as I cant find it in any shops. Maybe thats my best option since everyone seems to use it in the states. at least to know its good and that conures like it too.

The nutripet ones are really worrying me on the size, esspecially if you say scooter throws out the big ones.

FWIW, I feed my birds Harrisons High Potency Coarse. The pellets are a great size for my Amazon but I thought they'd be too big for my Gold Capped Conure so I was crushing them up for her. Then my vet told me to try leaving them whole and she actually eats the whole thing! She was previously eating Lakes Pellets which are quite small compared to the Harrisons Coarse, the pellets look almost like All-Bran cereal. She surprised me by switching right over to the large pellets and she actually seems to like them better.

thats great, i hope ill be as lucky and that he likes them enough to just switch right over without any problems.
