frwheel16 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Can you feed your grey to much? Oscar will take food from me all day. When is to much? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 In theory yes,what are you offering Oscar from your hand ? ideally you should feed him in the morning,thats when mine have a fresh fruit & dried fruit mix,then let him have access to his pellets/seeds through out the day to munch on.Then perhaps for evening/dinner some veggies,pasta etc..Im sure Oscar will then fill up once more before he settles for the night,greys tend to fill their crops before settling down.

M2MM Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 If your bird is eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise (flying and climbing around in his cage/gym) then it's not really possible to overfeed him. However, if all he does is sit and eat, then you need to monitor his weight to be sure that he's not just packing on the fat! (a good digital postal scale - in grams - will do the trick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Any pet bird can become fat, they develop weight problems for the same reason people do — too many calories and too little exercise, One way to control your pet bird’s weight is through regular exercise,playing out of the cage & allowing some flight in your home. The more active your bird is, the more calories he’s going to burn and the better shape he’s going to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well personally i wouldnt feed it to my flock,it contains gelatin, which is made from animal bone.There is such a variety of alternative things you could feed your grey,im sorry but why would you want to feed jello ?

frwheel16 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Jello, was just something I was eating the other day. I'm sure with all new owners we wonder what can be feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
