My cockatiel is 5 months old. My bird is very picky…He eats seeds and veggies, but very little , so I give him soft food instead of hand-feeding. He loves rice, pasta, and wheat bread but can birds eat them daily? Will it harm their health? And I give him very small amount.

Initially I had a pair of finches and they hatched 3 babies, I think 2 male and 1 female (2 have full white feathers and 1 has greyish color feathers). Its been about 5-6 months they hatched, now the babies started to harm their mother but they didn’t do anything to their dad when they […]
