why are my tiels doing this?  Reply with quote  

i gave smoky and birdbrain a couple peanuts in the shell
just to see what they would do. my grey loves peanuts
they loved them, but now they just sit by the food dish and stare at me.
why?
i was told by my roomy (who understands birds) to only give peanuts as a treat once in a while.
are my darlings trying to guilt trip me?

LOL, yeah probably.

I am really not sure why the tiels would do that. My two tiels who reside over at my mum's place do that every so often... I'll give them something and they'll just stare at me. who knows.

Keep an eye on them just to make sure that they are ok. Make sure that there's no sign of puffiness, lethagy, and all the other symptoms that go with being sick.

Well, you're right, it probably is a guilt trip Wink

What is their main diet?

mt tiels eat seed food that has a mix of stuff in it.
jer watches what we feed them carefully, and since he knows about birds,
he approves, or denys whatever food they eat. he's real careful that way. i'm glad i have him around.
yeah, birdbrain and smoky were guilt tripping me.
they are fine... playing in a swing and with their toys and yelling at me like normal.
they've been a little frustrated since i had to put a lock on their cage door.
yep, they figured out how to escape, and i had to secure the door.
they like to fly to the grey's playstation and bandit is very protective of it.
okaaay, now bandit has the tiels going, and its getting quite loud in here. LOL
