How often do you feed your parrots?

I fill my bird’s food dishes up to the top every morning. I have two African Grey Parrots. They pick at it and eat on it all day. They throw half of it out. My question is: Do you leave food out for parrots all day? Or do you pick the food up and give it to them on a schedule? If so, how often should I feed them? They are sooooooo messy with their food. They are on a pellet diet and that is what I have trouble with. I also switch out fruits and veggies and I will make them eggs, pasta, rice, etc. but they gobble that stuff up. It is the pellet food they like to play with and make a mess out of.
Oh, it also makes cleaning thier cage a mess. They poop all of the time and everywhere.

Do you enjoy feeding the animals?

I have bread and peanuts that I buy just for them. I like to sit on my balcony early in the morning and distribute it for the birds and the squirrels. Does that make me weird? Am I the only one that does this?

baby bird help!!?

yesterday morning we found an unfeathered little bird, on the ground with no nest in sight
we have been feeding him crushed up worms and he poops/urinates-whichever you want to say-regularly
but he is trying to stand and I am pretty sure his leg is broken
because it stays tucked under him and he doesn’t move it, but he is fine if I touch it
is there anything I can do for his leg until I can get him to a professional??

Female cockatiel, no eggs, aggressivness?

Female pearl cocktiel has been aggressive since yesterday morning. I found that she has infujured my male cockatiel so i separated them, today when i put them back she chases him around when he goes near the nesting box. Since yesterday she gets all puffed up and territorial and tries to bite, she rock back and forth a little, i thought it was egg binding, when i attempted to put her under a warm towel she got out of the nesting box and was perfectly fine, personality and all, just when she gets in the nesting box. her vent wasn’t swollen and i felt underneath and it didn’t feel hard or anything like an egg was there, it was quite soft. so after that he was k last night and i separated the two birds. This morning she was in the box again, hissing and still trying to bite the male when i put him inside. Help?

What do you feed newborn Morning doves?

I found a nest in a bush in my yard with two eggs, but the mother bird hasn’t been there for a while. I am thinking about bringing the eggs inside and putting them in a box with a light over it. But I do i would like to make sure I can actually sustain them. Is this possible? I need as much advice as possible.

help….my tiel is sick!!?

this morning, when i went to go feed my cockatiels, one of them was sqautted in the bottom of the cage with his feathers fluffed, his wings spread out, and his eyes squinted shut. i stayed home from school to take care of him. i moved him to a box with towels and heating pads in it, but he doesnt seem to be feeling any better. he’ll drink water from a syringe, but he wont eat anything, not even millet or baby bird formula. i cant get him to the vet for at least a day or two. he seems to just be getting worse though. what else can i do for him?? PLEASE HELP!!
by the way…its a male bird.

How do you keep skunks away?

In my brothers yard there’s a couple of morning doves that nest in a flower box. Last year a skunk ate the eggs right after the birds hatched. We were all so mad because we named them & every thing. How do we keep them safe this year.
