I would leave out the banana-they can be very fattening!

Bugger thanks Julie too late now Ive left some in I'll take it out tonight.

 

Oh maybe it is too fast then maybe the vet will be able to tell me a safe rate. As long as he gets exercise I reckon it shouldnt take long before he starts to slender up a bit eh?

Yep, i'm sure he'll get to a healthy weight soon.

He has no choice he hasnt any fattening food oh except the egg n seed but he has to share that with Bobby.

 

Whats the bet there isnt any seed at all left tonight hehe.

Everything that tastes nice is fattening! He's gonna hate me!

Aww he dont hate you Julie he hates me right now for weighing him and making him eat yukky food. But he will thank us in the end when he is flying all over enjoying playtime with the others.

 

If it had been any of the others they woldnt have been tame enough to weigh - I wonder how the vets weighs them? None of mine have been weighed by a vet.

I just wouldn't know how or where to start! I know on television that I've seen them weigh birds on little scales with a sack hanging from it.

Remember a few weeks ago I posted about Candys poop being green well Ive just read up on this disease hepatic lipidosis and one of the signs is green poop. I really think he might have it, it also says about having fatty deposits on the upper tummy and abdomen making them look chunky and being out of breath easily. Am getting worried now.

Oh heck,would it be worth ringing a vet do you think and mentioning that to them?

Am about to ring as soon as I get a spare monent the avian vet Im registered with works today and tomorrow, there was however some symptons that he didn't have but will mentioned about his poop.

I hope it's not, for your and Candy's sake. But at least knowing the problem is half the battle.

Me too Lin I have to ring back at 3pm to speak, I am mainly concerned about the green poop, it was still like that this morning not runny as I have previously shown, but like I said he isnt lethargic and depressed which was 2 main factors so I am keeping positive. Im hoping I dont have to take him in and maybe I could just drop a poop sample off tomorrow depending on what he says. I think I stressed him out enough yesterday.
