A quick search indicates adult tiels weigh between 75 and 125 grams. My girls weigh about 110 and 120 grams.

My strategy for feeding is regular weighing. I can tell then if too many or too few seeds and other fattening items are being consumed.

I don't see a need to give kaks pellets but that is only an opinion based upon my experience with a single kakariki. My Chocobo enjoys seeds but by far, the largest proportion of her diet is veggies, with a little bit of fruit. She's never been interested in meal worms but she does really like...

Welcome! I'm sorry your chap lost his friend. What's his name? And can we have pics? Caiques are so cute :)

Farewell, Squash 😪

Happy Birthday, Christine!

Happy Birthday Terry!

I always cut tassels short or off. One of my hens, Squeak, got herself tangled up in one when she was younger and I had a very, very scary time rescuing her from it. She was a devil for getting into scrapes. Not long after the tassel incident, I had to disentangle her from a coriander plant...

Happy Birthday, Sarah-Jane!

I'll see what I can do, @Funkybadger

I wrote a sort of blog that I called "Tricky Kakariki". It chronicled my journey with Chocobo (my kak) over the course of a year or so. The things I had to do to combat her nesting instinct (she gnawed her way into a bookcase, I had to replace my sofa, DIY adjustments in the kitchen to safeguard...

I second the recommendation of the Elegance double cage. It's really good and big enough for two :) Kaks love the freedom to explore. My female is allowed the freedom of (most of) the house. She's an excellent and enthusiatic flier. If you give your kaks out-of-cage time - be warned. They will...

I see the odd one from time to time but I've never seen them in numbers since then. A last Hurrah I guess, and historically speaking, the most successful invasion of Britain by the French in nearly a thousand years.

I lived in Bracklesham Bay in 1976. I remember the ladybird invasion most vividly :)

A daily ration of sweet potato consumed means it is unlikely your birds would need a Vit A supplement. My horde (a lot of budgies, two cockatiels and a kakariki) won't take carrots or squash or sweet potato so I give them a Vit A, C, E supplement in the form of AviPro, once per week, in their...

Nor elephant birds

I'm so sorry for this sad outcome but it's also a good outcome because he will still be loved and well looked after.

My argument is that no one is obliged to register as successive UK Governments have broken the "social contract" and their legitimacy vis-a-vis Magna Carta is destroyed. However, this is a Parrot Forum, so ... *bites lip* There's no need for you to register, MarthaElise, either morally or...

If you only knew the self-restraint going on right now in this thread 😀😂😡
