:wub: Just wondering about the fresh, new gum tree sprouts "eagle" adores and which i try to place each day in his cage. After reading some excellent posts on the necessity of quarantining, i now wonder should i wash "eagle's" gum leaves before giving them to him? If so what with? Naturally he receives a variety and certainly enjoys some more than others. Edited by maesie

nice to know im not the only one lol i spend 35 dollors a forgnight on freash fruit and vegg on birds alone and buy a loaf of bread a day for them

as well as bread and fruit veg for me and kids my mum thinks im crasy and should just give them scraps but with 60 birds and more on and off they really need their own

i shop for them as i would myself

costly but when you round up the fact my birds dont get sick or have i lost many only two in three years and one to broken neack other was brought sick as young chick i say worth every penny spent

go nutrition and health

Thank you for the tips, frozen stir fry is now on my shopping list and i look forward to seeing if corn is to his taste. It certainly is to mine! To date his favorite food is celery.

The beauty of a small flock[okay in my case one] is that these pets if looked after properly, become wonderful role models and mentors. I am ashamed to admit that i have gone weeks without vegetables in the fridge, but not anymore. Budgies should be the heart foundations mascot!!! They set a wonderful example, and with a small flock, they can be afforded the best.
