    I have a yellow nape Amazon female. And now a new 1 1/2 year old red and green wing macaw. Trying to convert them from seed to chop. Easiest recipe for conversion? I’m actually a professional pet groomer as well.

    Hi there! Great video indeed.
    I hope you can help me out on this one.... as you know sun conures are expensive so i can affored getting only one. But being a student I wont be at home for the day from 8am to 2 pm but my mom will be at home but still i think a bird having a bird companion is much better. So will it be okay if i keep a cockatiel with a conure so that he/ she does not feel that lonely while i am away? I would love some tips too!

    • @PoodlesandParrots
      @PoodlesandParrots  Рік тому +1

      A cockatiel can get along with a Conure but they might not… it truly will depend on the 2 birds and their personalities. We can’t know if they will get along or not, if you already have a cockatiel I would suggest doing some more research. Birds require a lot of time, attention, enrichment & honestly the costs continue once you have a bird. Before choosing if a bird is the right fit for I recommend doing research to be sure, I have a helpful video on costs of a Conure. ✨Hope this helps!✨

    Thanks for this video. My baby cockatiel Pete loves his chop but he doesn’t eat until I sit with him. I share my oatmeal with him which is served cold with almond milk. He doesn’t eat much but loves to eat with me.

    Stupid question but is It not safe to just rinse the vegetables with water only? And how much vinegar do I add to the water to soak the vegetables?

    • @PoodlesandParrots
      @PoodlesandParrots  25 днів тому

      No it’s not because we can’t wash off things like bacteria or sprays they use on the crops or in store. I clean veggies/fruits by doing a vinegar and water soak and you can add a bit of baking soda, rinse then wash it with warm water and a veggie wash.

    May I know why the list mention they cannot war peanut?

    • @PoodlesandParrots
      @PoodlesandParrots  Рік тому

      Raw peanuts can contain a toxin called Aflatoxin and it is a liver toxin that is dangerous for parrots. They are also a high fat/ caloric food for them. And parrots need clean, fresh food because their bodies cannot cope with chemicals, pollutants and things like that the way humans can. Peanut shells can easily produce Aspergillus Fungus, a disease that is known to cause serious problems to a parrot's respiratory system.

      I share how much to feed your bird in this video; ua-cam.com/video/BesniRNHs4c/v-deo.html or do you mean the amount of veggies and grains to put in your chop? 😊

    • @sofiaandrade9449
      @sofiaandrade9449 Рік тому

    • @PoodlesandParrots
      @PoodlesandParrots  Рік тому

      @@sofiaandrade9449 no your English is great! 😃 I was just reading too fast 🙃 the amounts you put depends on how big or small or a chop you want to make. I usually do smaller batches so it’s fresh but you can make bigger batches if you want to freeze the portions. So for example for a small batch I would do like a half a carrot, 1/4 of a zucchini, a handful of green peas, cook 1/2 a cup of grains, etc etc 🙂 for bigger batches I put full veggies, 1 cup cooked grains or follow the recipes for chop in the birdtricks cookbook. I also have a video on a chop I made with Mia you can try that as well ☺️

      ​@@PoodlesandParrots would that be 1/2 cup total for the grains or like 1/2 cup of each grain (if i put to grains in my chop) and would it be the same for legumes?

    My bird does not like veggies much. I tried chop. I made veggie/grain bake instead. Any tips how to get my picky Quaker to eat chop? My bird is adopted. Previous owner did not disclose anything to the rescue Lady. I keep trying and find out more and more what he likes/dislikes. My daughter's birds LOVE their chop but she had them as Babies. I open to tips and to learn more. Thank you for your nice video.

      Yes! I have a whole video on around 17 different ways to introduce veggies to get birds to try them, eat them and explore their favs! ua-cam.com/video/MGyN4F8sY1s/v-deo.html hope this helps!💖
