Just read a little about fatty liver disease. I bet that is why Miss Lemmons died. Bird Lady said she was old and didn't feel any tumors. (now that I think about it ... she probably knew she wouldn't last long). I wish these guys would come out of their cage. Maybe they won't because they don't see a place to fly to. Maybe I'll bring up a bird cage from downstairs and see if they fly to it. |

Cathy, please forgive me in my panic I forgot to wish you well with Teamo. You sounded so tired. Good luck to you and "Teamo" today starting his new regimen.

Gees Teamo thats what you get for being a piggy from what I know about this problem its from to much fatty seeds - sun flower, canary, millet, seed like that its very common with too's thats why all mine have a seed mix that is only 10% sun flower. I'll wait to see what the vet recomended and ask a few friends see if we can get Teamo back to good health |

Thanks Nat, and everyone, geez when one of the little guys is ill, it sure is stressful. He seems absolutely completely normal. If his peak had not been overgrown I would not have suspected anything. Stubborn little guy he is making all nice with the hubby and everytime I go near him he lets me have it with a very loud series of "get away from me chirps". Naturally he blames me for the awful trip to the vet. i am trying to get more veggies and some fruit to him and I will reduce his seed intake but I am not going to do it drastically as the vet said. I just feel cold turkey to all veggies and fruit and I tablespoon or so of seeds nightly is to dramatic a change and I fear it could harm him. So I am going to attempt to relax and work at it. |

Cathy, since you and Teamo have had your experience I have made a few changes myself. I will now only fill the treat cup up maybe every other day. Also, got a bigger platform on which I have been putting the broccoli and spinach (won't touch spinach) and apple won't touch that either. But, as CBL said just keep introducing it to them. So I am trying. They also have dried fruit in their seed mix. But, I don't think they eat that either. Maybe they'd like a big steak and baked potatoe. lol |
