@@BirdNerdSophie next is a little bit of egg since she has tons of new feathers coming in. After many attempts convincing her to eat kale, we found kale blended with blueberry gets her to eat it! Score!
What a lovely video from start to finish. Amazing selection of veggies, legumes and dry mix. You really know what you’re doing. Scampi on the other hand is a star ⭐️ he is adorable ☺️ I had no idea that walnuts were his favourite treat 😊
What a delicious meal to start the day with! Thank you Sophie, for sharing this. I will definitely try it with my flock. I'm wondering if your legumes and peas are cooked or not? Thanks!
I looked at the recipes on your website. Some include pumpkin or butternut squash. Do you cook them first or leave them raw? Thank you so much for your channel!!❤ My GCC Spock thanks you! 🖖🏻
This was wonderful info, thank you! I had asked about this on another of your videos and then found this! Just got my first little green cheek who I’ve fallen in love with. 💚They fed her a seed mix only so I’m working to convert her and wanted to understand what is safe and not safe for her.
Hello, Thanks for the info love your videos! Do you give them a tablespoon of everything daily or a tablespoon total. I’ve been giving my conure a 1/4 cup of chop a day. Is that too much? Thanks!
Hey! A 1/4 cup cones our at 4 tablespoons so that’s quite a lot! We give one tablespoon of fresh food in the morning and one tablespoon of dry food in the evening so 2 tablespoons per bird per day! This is just a guideline which can be adjusted based on weight and wastage!
I feel like All birds love peas, can we get more DIY vlogs and a updated day in the life, All of your birds are adorable, Scampi playing with the ball at the beginning of the video is adorable, He's the little star of the show LOL Love your vlogs and you do amazing stuff your bids are so lucky to have you as there owner, They have a cupboard full of foods and boxes of toys their defiantly spoilt, LOL No one can ever go in a bird store and get what they just need. Your the definition of an "Amazing bird owner" Keep doing what your doing.😊😊🤩🤩 EDIT: You channel has grew so much Sophie!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰💙 I definitely need to do an updated day in the life, it just takes a lot of effort to film as I have to remember to hit record 😂
@@BirdNerdSophie haaa, I Can imagine no rush making a day in the life, Don't thank me I should thank you, You always put so much time and effort in your vlogs you deserve a lot more subscribers. If you don't mind me asking "why are all of your birds so gorgeous"! - How do I stop my bird from biting me?
I'm trying to do a diet conversion with my canaries with much more veggies, But there's just one of my canaries which will not eat his veggies only rarely spinach, kale and broccoli so I need to bribe him with treats I have watched your latest vlog on how to get your bird to eat veggies but no matter what he won't eat them. I do chop he's always so curious what I put in there, if I do chunks he will get angry with me for only giving him veggies for his breakfast so I have to put a tiny bit of seeds for him. I do give him seeds for his dinner. he is so stubborn. It's so weird though I made something sort of like those bird kabobs skewers from northern parrots and he eats it from there.
My conures are both picky . They do like some corn , apples , grapes, strawberries and blueberries but what they long for is seeds , walnuts and chips . In the morning I feed them scrambled eggs and fruit but I’ve noticed that they are eating less of it and start making a lot of noise , meaning they want their seeds . That’s basically what they eat the most now 😞
Hlo sophie!! I would like to know how to gain weight in my 2 GCC's as they are 1 year and 3 months old at a weight of 53 and 51 grams. They eat their chop, pellets and some seed as 10% of their diet. ( the seeds are not on the healtheir side so i would appreciate it if you will tell me about some good seed mix too ) What should i do, i have been really worried for months now. One more thing that they look same as scampi but i can feel their keel bone ( not too sharp ) is it okay or not. I hope u will reply and help me 🤞
You could always schedule a vet check up to check if they are just bred smaller! Otherwise increasing protein from sprouted seeds, grains and legumes, plus adding nuts to the diet may help !
@@BirdNerdSophie thank u for replying 😊 Actually sadly but there are no good avian vet so that's off limit for me. 😔 I am giving them walnuts and almonds daily now i will try to add some sprouts 🤞
Nice! Does this mean your conure only has 2 main meals? Once in morning and once before sleep? What time do they eat pellets? Do they eat pellets everyday or not?
Two set meals a day yes! One at 8am and one at around 3pm 😊 Pellets are not a big part of our birds’ diet and will get a few here and there in their afternoon meal!
@@BirdNerdSophiealso, don't they get hungry at like 12pm?? Do they go to sleep after eating? If they go to bed at 6pm.. won't they get hungry right before bed .?or so they forage like almost all day? Genuinely curious, no hate! I love your birds and your way of handling them.
@@Yuiilee they don’t eat everything all in one go so the meals last them they time! They also get foraging throughout the day like you see in the video 😊 they go to bed at 8pm.
@@BirdNerdSophie oh nice! But won't the meals like rotten or something? Or the finish it? Or do u store them in the fridge and give it back to them later?m
Can you give conures exclusively freeze dried food? There's a bunch of people in my town that freeze dry food and will freeze dry whatever you give them.
Here's a safe and toxic list: freerangeparrots.org/2020/10/16/ultimate-list-of-safe-and-toxic-plants-to-birds/ And here are some of our chop recipes: bestbehavedbirds.com/?s=chop
Please let me know where the food is sold that you are making for your Green Cheek Conure I would love to be able to buy it already done thank , oh and I do live in the United States on the West Coast .
Hi Sophie, I know you and your partner do consulting. I have two cockatiels and would like some guidance as one is becoming stressed and the other has had his head feathers plucked. I would love if you could help me as it is looking like I may have to rehome one of them and I really don't want to. How do I contact you professionally. Thanks heather
Hi my bird will always try’s to bite me also he spits his food on my older brother 😎 he also always flys on my head and he doesn’t like hands 🙌 that much but other than that he loves me so do you have any tipssssss
Hi! I love your video's :) My kakariki currently has chop in the morning and seeds in the evening. I fel pretty bad about the seed part because it is a mix of "snack" seeds (sunflower, hemp, millet...) I really want to get her to a healthier diet but i dont know where to start. Im a 16yo and cant really afford to buy lots of different seeds, flowers and freeze dried veggies at once. Does anyone have a tip how can start with making her diet just a little bit healthier with maybe 1/2 products?
@@BirdNerdSophie Sure! I live in the netherlands. I usually order everything for my bird because my parents dont understand the importance of parrot nutrition so they are not too happy to drive me around for it😅
@@meikeboomgaard542 This store stocks Polly's Natural Parrot Boutique products - she has a great seed mix called Fine Cuisine Seed Mix with Superfood - we are hoping they will be stocking it soon so keep an eye out for it as it is the best seed mix to buy! webshop.papegaaienzoo.nl/ www.pollysnaturalparrotboutique.com/fine-cuisine-seed-mix-with-superfood/
Thank you for your amazing videos im just curious is there a reason why you dont feed your conures pellets ? And can i feed my conure pellets daily instead of all of this or do you not recommend that ?
