Then I wouldn't be too concerned. I notice my birds smells after they had pizza the night before. There is a web site showing the proper color and consistency that you should see. I will look and see if I can find it. It is very helpful and was for me when I first got my grey.
I tend to disagree with the others. When I first get my 2 up in the am, bring them to their "potty baskets," and then they have that morning bomb, it sometimes does smell depending on their previous day of eating. I wouldn't worry about the occasional odor, but if it continued all day long and was every day, then, Yes, I would take your bird to the vet for a check up for that concern.
I am pleased to announce that the longest running contest ever in the history of greyforums finally has come to an end! :laugh:

Laurie: You have been doing very well! And you are right, you are gaining muscle which weighs more than fat! So, you go girl! :cheer:
All I can say, is good luck to you! Listen to your instinct and the good reasons you have listed. You know in your heart. Convincing her otherwise.....might be a harder task! :P
Keep looking, you will find the right fit for her. A cockatoo can be very demanding.
Well.........I haven't heard from anyone!!!
WHERE ARE OUR WEEKLY CHECK-INS?!
I have been a bad girl these last 2 days, I HAVE to get to the gym tomorrow, first thing! :unsure:
Suzzique. Please no that our greys can not have Onions, too much raw garlic as in cloves,apple seeds, and raw potatoes. These are very toxic as well as the 4 you mentioned.
Suzzique, I love them! IS the second one on a table? It looks like its up so high.
I too would like to know more about the net. I bought one for greys, and it's huge! I have yet to use it, it's outside on my deck. I have no where to put it...
Dan's right, it does look like Parrot Disneyland!!
:woohoo:
I use the packets, and cook only half of it. I use the other half the next day. I also use water, sometimes maybe a little milk. But no sugar. They love it! I don't feed it every day. But every day they get 12 grain bread with peanut butter on it cut up into small squares that they can hold and eat.
I also use cream of wheat, they like that too!
