she has vit a suppliment in her food now..ive only rscued her just over a week so theres a lot of work to do with her...she wont eat veg atm as she never had it before..i put it in tho and hope she will try a little. The only fruit she eats are apples.
As for the branch..although it looks sharp..it isnt, its just fibrous stuff she chewed out herself and its only soft. She has more proper perches further down in the cage too but loves that one to pick at.
The cage is plenty large enough its just over half the size of the one my two rosellas live in. You have no need to worry about her care, as i think most on here now know that im an animal lover and care for all my pets it is of the utmost importance to me and first on my list each morning. She is misted regularly as are my other birds, she also takes a bath by herself.

With a little determination and routine, hopefully she will catch on to the veggie eating thing. I know it can take some a good long time before they finally give in and give it a try. Just do what you are doing and stick with it.
Good to hear you've already gotten the vit A supplement. You're on the ball, and obviously have done your research wink

I have also heard that adding aloe to their bath water or misting water is great for their feathers. Haven't tried it myself tho, so I can't say that through experience.

You keep showering that little gal/guy with love salyummz and she will return it 10 fold.

i too am glad to hear you have a vit A supplement and hopefully she will figure out soon that fresh veggies and fruits are goooood and its a better way to get that vitamin into them as well...

im sorry i remember now once before you mentioned cage size so pardon my bringing it up again but it is always a question i ask to cover all the basis...

im thrilled you did this rescue i cant imagine what this poor birds life has been like previously ...it should NEVER happen but unfortunately these things do happen

im also glad the former owner decided to relinquish the bird to a better situation... laugh
