Mr.Magoo's home I'm a bit angry

Mr. Magoo has lost 30 gram since he left here 2 weeks ago. I explained to them when I gave Him to them how to feed him because he doesn't really like mushy food he prefer his fruits and veggies raw he will eat eggs and the odd little peice of cooked sweet potato or squash but thats about it for cooked foods I gave them 2 5lb bags of pellets and a bag of really good seed mix. they said oh that great mabie with watching Magoo our bird will eat better. They don't feed pellets to their macaw.

When They brought him home the brought all the pellets still unopened and there was nothing fresh in his dish just some rice white with a few cooked peas. I couldn't beleive my eyes when I gave him a dish of fresh veggies and fruit that bird devoured everything in about 5 minutes flat and then proceeded in doing the same with his pellets the seed mix I gave them came back also but it was all most empty it has pellets in it also thank goodness or my poor bird would have probubly starved to death instead of trying to convert their bird I guess they decided it would be easier to try and convert Mr, Magoo to what their bird eats. I've never seen a bird so happy to be home he wouldn't let me leave his sight and he still calling I just finally put him to bed. Its going to take a couple of weeks to put some weight back on him but if he eats like he did tonight I shouldn't be a problem. Right now his keel bone is very promanant and there is very little fat on either side

Thank god you have him home with you now Pat, poor thing probably would have starved himself to death. He will put that weight back on if he continues to eat like he did when you first brought him home.

 

Mr Magoo was just meant to stay with you, he is your baby and he is in the home he will remain in for the reminder of his life and I bet he is so glad to be back in his mom's loving hands.

He's going to need a refresher course on screaming he is screaming constantly and he know I'll only come when he's quiet he has to remember his manners. I will whistle a contact call once in a while but if he continues screaming he won't get the attention he's after he'll learn fast enough

well I weighed Mr. Magoo this morning and was totally shocked at the amount this guy is gaining he's up to 379grams this morning he gained 15 grams in 3 days he's definatly making up for the lack of food he was getting at Vivians house I'm sure she feed him like she said he ate off her plate and got nuts and seeds. But when a bird doesn't like cooked food he not going to eat much of it they like what they like and it takes along while to change that if ever some birds would rather starve to death than eat foods they don't like. He's not a fussy bird he just prefer his food raw he love green leafy stuff and broccoliis one of his favorites snap peas and green beans he loves it alhot pepper another favorite. how hard is it to buy a bunch of veggies spend one hour chopping them an d putting them in a tupperware containor and giveing him a hand ful a day its so easy allot easier than slaving over a hot stove cooking all the time. I just don't get some peoples logic.
