Back from my holiday! wool - I missed cracker for 3 weeks Cracker was at my fathers while i was away. So i made a plan to try and get him onto pellets. The first week:  New pellets every day, seeds every second day, if he eats them all, that's all he gets. Second week: new pellets every day...

Also guys sorry, he's a list of what we have around in this area.  So click the link and there will be a list of foods they offer, if you have a suggestion please tell me!  http://store.cityfarmers.com.au/bird/food.html?p=1

Liz he's lost 1-2 Grams. Though it fluctuates throughout the week. I've tried the pellets again, but nothing. I mixed some apricot nectar and still nothing, i'm going to try apple juice again as cracker loves apples. He's eating fruit fine, he loves the stuff. He's eating little amounts of...

Having a struggle here! lol

Morning is a good idea, he loves his breakfast! He's really stubborn. I worry by taking away the sunflower seeds he will get skinny again. I'll give it ago and see how it works, if he starts to loose any weight, i'll allow them again until i can work out a good way to come at this

He's more stubborn then his owner... So when he was sick, he weighed too less, to gain his weight, we had him on high fat foods. So turing out he loves sunflower seeds, so great! That got his weight back on track.. But now, we have an issue. He will only eat fruit - No vegetables, no matter...

Hope henry is all good. How's he doing?

So did some calling this morning. The animal hospital cracker first went too, needs a consultation to administer any type of anti-biotic.  There's a vet few doors down from my house (Thank God!) That said i can bring cracker to them, they can do medications from now on. When it's something...

Sorry to hear your loss! That story makes me feel so bad, i'm so far away but wish i could have helped somehow! Hopefully you have some peace at mind, or sometime soon. Try to keep smiling :) You did the best you could. :rose:

Thanks for the replies everyone. And yes Scarlett, his discharge is clear! Going to get my partner to call in the morning, unfortunately i've got a morning shift, i'll just be worrying!  Hopefully the antibiotics shipped to me would work! 

I just want to add, i don't know if i'm making this more then what it is. He's just the normal happy cracker with sneezing things! I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and see if we can continue the antibiotics, or if she think he NEEDS to go back to the hospital then i guess i have to do that...

This is absolute crazy :(   The poor bugger is going through so much. He's eating and doing most stuff fine, but he is putting his head out once or twice a day, in the part where it says to breath.  He has fluffed up one or two times when sneezing and shakes it all off.  I can't believe...

I'm worried of Cracker being sick again, maybe I'm just being paranoid I don't know, but he keeps sneezing(I think it's sneezing)and shaking his head uncontrollably every now and then. It's very human like, he will take a gasp of air like every human then a little sneeze, then shake his head...

Out of all the birds i've seen in my life time, not that it's a long lifetime, but enough to look around! I have to say if you're going for a parrot, a conure is defiantly a good choice, but also a princess parrot. The princesses are so calm! No matter the parrot, if they're calm or not calm...

Yes i do! You guessed right, I'm from Australia, but seeing you guys had a good forum, I went ahead and joined!
