Foraging

Hi Linda,

You have to be interactive with some birds for them to figure out what to do. When you are handling your birds, have some food in paper and try to get them to unwrap it with you. If necessary, unwrap it and show them the food. It can take a while for them to catch on or become interested but just keep trying. You can start by using a favorite treat and only offering it that way.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
