Feeding Your Bird Some Homemade Cooking

Everyone knows to eat a balanced diet. The better we eat, the better we feel and the healthier we are. The same goes for our feathered friends. They need a well balanced diet to stay healthy, and live longer. Conures are susceptible to some of the very same health issues we humans are. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even couch potato syndrome, or in their instance maybe perch potato syndrome. The point being, we need to take care of our feathered friend just as we should take care of ourselves. I have posted a few healthy and safe recipes on my website handfedconures.com where you can read a few of these recipes. Please feel free to submit your own, and I will post them.

Still no news to report with the breeding pairs. The Normal Green cheeked conures are snuggling a lot, and spending the evenings in their nest box. The Yellow sided green cheeks are spending the nights in their nest box, but the hen is spending a lot of time in the nest box throughout the day. I want to check the box to see if she lays eggs, but I don't want to spook her now that it seems they finally settled down. Any suggestions?
