Oh yes, it's extremely beneficial to birds. It is considered one of the foods with high nutritional value for parrots. I was advised by a veterinarian to use red palm oil, especially for parrots with skin and feather problems, as it has many health benefits including antibacterial properties.

WOW! What beautiful pics! HE's a real model!!

I was just scrolling social media. I follow a very well-known & reputable Bird Store. It's the largest in the country, family-owned. Anyways, the cost of the baby African Greys......$7499.99. I was shocked. I didn't buy any of mine ( all rescues) But I have the bill of sale for 2 of them..both my 15 year old greys were bought for $1600-2200.00 Makes you realize how valuable they are & time to make certain the security system is set at all times!!

Good grief. I got Alfie at 11/12 weeks old and I paid around £800 but that included his cage, toys, food and everything I needed for him. I think he was probably about £400-450. I think last time I asked about the price for a grey over this side of the pond it was about £2000 but I suspect that might be more now.

Oh my! I had not idea babies were that much. Timber is a rescue too.

Because if you eat too much, it will not be good for your parrot. But it's good that you reduced the amount of salt in it. Since this is their favorite food, it can't be banned, you should also add nutrient-rich foods to them such as cooked beans, corn, tortillas, potatoes, bread, cooked chicken ripe, .......

It's not too big. I think the larger size cage will give them a more comfortable space. But it seems a bit empty, let's decorate some toys that he likes, your cage will be great and he will love it.

One of my greys started plucking a few years ago, ( her chest) I realize its a stress thing regarding my long time amazon who is a hog for attention. I try to give her more special time with me, it has helped. DO NOT try & help with pin feathers..they are quite painful when coming in & you should avoid that area until they have come in naturally. I find pin feathers on my amazon when she is getting head scrunches, but I just go very very light in that area.. Mist them with a mixture of warm water & aloe juice, that soothes the skin. I also wrap up safe pieces of broken wooden toys & put them in a toy bucket for them to forage thru & chew the paper to get to the inside toy. Folded up paper, junk mail ( envelopes that haven't been opened). Popcorn as a snack will keep them busy, my grey LOVES uncooked egg noodles, they keep her busy for quite some time crunching & eating them, put the tv or music on if she seems bored. Try a bowl of water for her to splash in, corn on the cob to chew on, my grey prefers small cockatiel size toys, not parrot size ones..just suggestions for occupying her in hopes of distracting them. They do tend to pluck when their bored if it has become a habit. Best of luck & keep us posted.
