Our bird loves to put his food in his water dish and make “Soup” he will even take food items from his stand back to his cage and drop it in this water there then fish aroung in it with his foot coming out all gloopy. His favorite water additions are dill and steamed veggies. I am home all day and Every time I see that his water is dirty I change it, sometimes 7 or 8 times a day because it looks on sanitary. Since he is trying to create this mess should I leave it in for him longer? He will sometimes eat the soggy food but the majority of the food he eats does not come out of the soup… It just seems un clean to me, is it okay to leave it for him for a few hours?
He gets 1 tablespoon a day of the seed pellet mix he was on at his old home and nearly all of that ends up in the soup as well.
Additionally is there any information on how long the seed/pellet mix for last before it expires? Because we give him very little of that per day the container that he came with from his old home will surely last a very long time. We have already had him about five buns. Should I throw that old mix away soon? He only gets a little spoonful but is always very excited for it .
