Looking forward to watching this one!
Yay!😀
I just watched this episode a second time. I was loooking to see if he said what kind of pellets he recommends ? Like what brand? I know you asked him just couldn’t find his answer.
What a great episode! Really enjoyed watching. Hope you can do more with this great avian vet. I am ready for part 2!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!🤗😀There could be a part 2👀😊
I came here for Dr. Octavio... He treated my African Grey bird Takku... And he is absolutely fine and the doctor is God sent❤God bless❤thankyou for bringing him to your show😍
Thank you for tuning in to this episode! He is truly ana amazing and passionate avian vet! You are so lucky he is your avian vet!👏🏼
Oh my gosh! 😉That was a very interesting and intense podcast! Although my heart is still beating a little bit faster than normal with all those stories, I am glad I didn't miss it. Recommendable! And I have to admit, occasionally I kiss my birds (cockatiels) too, despite knowing better. There is only so much I can do for my beloved birds to provide them with healthy food, a safe environment, a loving home and care etc. without getting paranoid, not doing enough or doing something wrong.
The info is to help make us more aware and understand our birds needs better❤ I'm grateful for all the stories and examples Dr.Octavio was able to share with us! I think as parronts we are trying our best & thanks for tuning in!🤗 (I also admit I kiss Mia; it's so hard not to when she is so cute!!)
So much informative information, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Just watched this and so glad I did.
Really great episode!❤🩺
New parrot owner man this is freaking me out making me paranoid LOL
The information is to help us understand our bird's health needs better and to be aware of all the things that could harm them🥹 it's important to know❤🩺
I appreciate the good doctors great advice. Unfortunately there is so much "expert" information out there that it can be confusing and overwhelming for parrot parents. I wish there was more of a consenses about seeds. I guess the best thing is to have your bird's health monitored regularly by an avian vet.
Great advice, for sure!😊 With seeds, what it comes down to, especially with what we learned in this episode, is that birds who have been on an all-seed diet need to get off seeds because they become addicted and an all-seed diet, of course, isn't a healthy or nutritious diet. But if it's a bird that isn't/hasn't been on an all-seed diet, then a moderate amount of healthy seeds is good for them, and even more so when we soak or sprout them! poodlesandparrots.com/blog/posts/how-to-make-seeds-healthy-for-parrots
im so late lol😂
Ive never been so early 😱
Could you post some photos of normal vs abnormal droppings? I’m wanting to see about how much white is normal? Thanks
In this video version, I included some photos in different parts when we talk about the droppings; for the abnormal droppings, it's hard to include a picture of each bird's situation. Here's a couple resources; bestbehavedbirds.com/2022/08/13/all-about-parrot-poop-and-parrot-poop-guide/ and www.thesprucepets.com/bird-poop-101-390429
