pga7602 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Do you guys leave the pellets in the cage all day so you parrots can eat when they want or do you only put the bowl in, in the morning and again at nitght? I have read conflicting info on this subject so wanted to know what all of you are doing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave007 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Whatever food won't go bad should be left in all the time. Parrots don't have the same type of eating schedule like we do. They eat all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yes I leave pellets in their cages at all times for they snack on them during the day and maybe at night too but they are available if they want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Even with all of the goodies Chimay gets to eat when his human slaves are home, we do make sure that he has all day access to pellets and sometimes we mix in some dried veggies (since they can keep all day unlike fresh). We always replace his pellets within 24 hours tho...no old stale pellets allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
particle77 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hmm... I've always done all day, but only left water at night. I was always concerned about attracting pests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't stay up all night to see if Josey does indeed snack on her pellets during the night but leaving some in the bowl makes sense in case they do want some and some probably do snack during the night. They are not going to attract any more pests during the night than they do during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I agree with luvparrots. Talon's sleep cage is in my bedroom, and quite often, I hear her snacking on her food late at night, occasionally during, and early morning before we get up.

SchroedersJen Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Both of my birds are late night snackers. I leave food and water bottles in 24/7 in case something happens and my husband and I are unable to come home as planned (example: we were in a really bad auto accident last year and neither of us could come home from the hospital for 4 days. It took 2 days for us to be cooherant enough to ask someone to go to the house and check on Schroeder. I was very glad he had tons of food and water in his cage). I feel that if they aren't hungry, they wont eat. My birds have VERY healthy diets and I am not concerned about them getting overweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
