yup. birds can also be fat. If fat rite, they can get a lot of disease like heart disease or cancer. For ur info, all seed diets, which is high in fat can also cause obesity.

hehe, y so quiet suddenly. feel free to ask questions.lol

anyone feed cuttlefish to budgie?It is useful? i read somewhere to breed budgie,it need soft food.What is soft food?

cuttlefish is important for birds. jUz put them in the cage and the bird will eat them. It is for trimming their beaks and provide calcium. "bout the soft food, i tink it is an egg product. high in protein so useful for breeding. I m not sure so wait for others opinion. The birds may not eat them at first time, gotto be patience.

Then how to make them eat?

well, i juz clip it to the cage. slowly, they will eat it. juz leave the cuttlebone alone, it wont spoilt anyway. the bird's curiosity will make it eat the cuttlebone.

last time i scared the birds will finish the cuttlebones very quickly, so bought so many packets. now realise that one bone can last very long....

Actually i wanna ask how to make budgie eat the soft food.Sorry for the misunderstanding...Nobody here breed bird?

well, i dun rili have experince in feeding my bird soft food. but u can try the starving method. do it for a few days. then the bird will be curious enough the try it out.

breed birds veli difficult one ar. first need to choose a pair of birs, preferably already in love. then must be from different parents. to avoid inbreeding. then prepare nest box for them. need to feed them a wide range of food, some must be high in protein. then must noe how to hand feed a baby bird, in case the parents abondon the babies. lol, u can tried it out and share wif us ur experince. anyway, must choose a bird older than one year. cause immature parents can cause problems.

how much is a parrot i realli wanna buy 1 preferably african grey i just wanna prepare my money.....

oo. african grey rili expensive lor. are u a beginner? if yes, its better to start wif cockatiels or budgies. anyway, african grey can up to RM1000+, not sure coz havent seen any. lol.

besides, my budgie die tis morning.. so sad. then i feel sorry for him coz din do anyting for him before. i saw some wounds on his wing when i took the body out. its still got blood stains. dun noe wat happen...

AG.... Rm1.2k for untame adult... for a hatchling.. around RM1.9k above.... coz my bro got his at RM2.7k as a hatchling.

Hmmm... I think your budgie got attacked by a cat lah.

My condolences.... poor budgie He is now in peace, at least he had a good owner like you.

Thanks crazymouse. It is a pity that such beautiful creature had to die. When I buried him, I juz cant cover its face. the cute little thing... Besides, the eyes are widely open when he died. Dunno what happened.... There are some stray cats around my house coz next to my house is a piece of empty land. There are many attacks before but the cat cant find way harm my birds coz the cage spacing is quite small. Besides, I did cover my cage with cloth. Sigh....

Now left two birds onli...must take good care of them...

Aiyo....the mites on my birds feet is increasing....now treating with Dettol. Hope it help. Actually got tell my friend to get ivermectin (for treating mites but actually is dewormer for horses) but he said must get from vets. Sigh....where got vets near my town area lar...!!

Get the mite spray for birds, some petshops do sell

yep. got one already. lol. its a four paw product.

argh!! the cat come n kacau my bird AGAIN!!
Sit on top of the cage and make the birds scare. they flew around in the cage and birds cant really see well at nite. so they juz flew blindly. luckily i put some bells in the cage. so i tink they knock it and make some sound. makes me curious y are they still playing at tis time?

Last time the same tings happened. bells ring at night. then thought they juz knock it or wat. din not go n take a look. the next day, found one died.

aiyo. hope the cats dont disturb my bird ar!!

Keep your budgies indoors at night.... I mean it is safer lah.... I experienced such things with wild cats before...

lol. my cage is quite big leh-the rectangle one...keep in doors? my mum certainly wont allow. now will try to buy a big piece of cloth so can cover the whole cage.
