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 February 21, 2009 by maesie Link to comment

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. Link to comment
