That's great!! Clipping shouldn't be a problem. Keep up the good work! Included is a portion of our main diet. This is all healthy and "Volkman's Large Hookbill [Saffron]" is really good for them and has no sunflower seeds. We don't feed pellets but a lot of people like Harrison high potency pellets . "Greetings, (Maggie (Spock) writing for Jay)... If I may, We feed mainly "Volkman's Large Hookbill [Saffron], There are many good foods out there. Over the years we have fed our fids many different forms of food, please check some of our past posts. An excellent pellet is "Harrison's". We still feed our fids a warm dinner which is usually some type of veggies, warm sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, chicken, chicken bones with meat, scrambled egg, etc. (you get the idea ) They also eat off of Jay's plate (not mine LOL what I eat might not agree with them LOL) like Cheerios, Bran flakes, quinoa with kale (cooked), kale slushes, brown rice with swiss chard and tofu, fish, salmon, cod, halibut (bites), and their favorite, Tuna sandwich on 12 grain bread (LOL)...We make sure they have non-colored pellets, only vet-ordered supplements, no added salt, salt-free, no added sugar, no monkey nuts, (ONLY human grade roasted unsalted nuts). Concerning peanuts, we do not serve them too often because of high cholesterol and fat content. Sunflower seeds....very, very, very few...they are fattening and addictive...they are excellent for a training treat (3-4 a day). Pistachios (roasted no-salt) are an occasional great treat. Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) occasionally (once a week) are good because they bind good vitamins from the parrot. Walnuts are excellent and three almonds a day will turn your parrot into an Einstein" (Post from BIRD FOOD)

Hello all, thanks very much for all your feedback. my parrot is booked into see the avian vet this Friday as that’s the only date they have available. As for the calcium I do add a pinch of supliment to her food calcium/vitamins at lest one a week when her food is changed. I have been advised to try her on some Harrison high potency pellets as well as her low sunflower seed mix. We noticed she was seems to be falling more when we had fresh flowers in the same room as her so I lowered all her perches for the time being she really wasn’t happy and also removed the fresh flowers from the room since then she has not fell fell so hopefully we may have found the cause possabily touch wood however I think it’s still best to see the vet just to be safe. They also mentioned it could be possible that her wings have been clipped but I haven’t had these done but the previous owner could have but I have noticed she don’t try and fly much when she is out of the cage. If she has had her wings clipped will these grow back ? Could this be causeing her to fall off her perches as she seems to just loose her balance.

We all need a little show of empathy from time to time (:> better than the alternative bite on the cheek to wake us up.
