My boys have been converted to pellets for nearly 2 months now at the avian vet's recommendation.
I have ready all the opinions against pellets on here but decided to go with what the vet was saying.
I like knowing that even though it's not a natural diet, there are apparently more nutrients in what I'm feeding my birds, and less fat.... however....
PELLETS MAKE THEIR POOS SO DISGUSTING!!!!!
I just can't stand it anymore. I have been avoiding my birds because I gag when I smell their poos, I'm very sensitive to smell and so it is just building up a negative association with my birds now. It's just making the house stink, and is ruining their cage. Although it is great not to have husks.
But I feel a bit bad about it...
Not really much point to this post as it's not really a question. I'm thinking of trialling half half for a while.. but first their cage needs a serious cleaning. We've been cleaning it as often as usual, it's not like we're leaving it to fester... it's just that seed poos can be easily cleaned off and these are like big brown sloppy ones
Any relevant tips or just comments on diet, cleaning cages, conversion, etc would be appreciated.
