Please could you recommend several types of cockatiel commercial food and hand feeding commercial formula to look for availability in Egypt
If you have a local pet store in your location, that's a great place to check for commercial bird foods. You may also need to check online if you don't have anything available. Cockatiel foods are often a blend of seeds and pellets that are nutritionally balanced. Millet seeds, and other small seeds, and some dried fruits and vegetables can also be substituted to balance the diet if a commercial brand isn't available. Fruits such as dried berries, applies, peach, can be tasty, and dried veggies such as spinach and other leafy greens make a great treat.

Cockatiel question- Should I give a cockatiel grit? Can you give me a list of fresh fruit and veggies to put in with the pellets and seeds for a daily diet? How much food should I give a cockatiel? Should I offer insects? Should I give two bowls of
Thanks for all of your questions! You do not need to provide a cockatiel with grit - as a parrot, this material is not necessary for them to digest their food. For produce, I would recommend focusing on vegetables that are high in vitamin A and calcium - this is typically the brightly colored vegetables (such as bell peppers) and dark leafy greens. For fruits, ideally you would focus on tropical fruits, as they have more fiber and less sugar than our temperate fruits. These would include fruits such as mango and papaya. For feeding, I would recommend feeding 60-70% pellets, 20% vegetables, 5% fruit, and 5% seeds. An average cockatiel can be offered about 1/4 of food per day - some birds spill more than others so this would just be a place to start and you can then increase or decrease as needed. We want them to be eating portions of each food item, so don't offer too much food, or they will just pick out what they like (typically the seeds and fruit). You can offer multiple bowls of

Hi again :( can u tell me how much fruit vegetables or calcium protein should naoki take besides 2 drops of multivitamin in her water every day?he doesnt eat a lot of fruits or protein every day (besides multivitamin electrolyte)so im guessing maybe
Thanks for reaching out about Naoki. If providing a wide range of vegetables, beans and pellets, does not need vitamin drops or calcium powder. Fruit should be considered treats as mostly water, fructose and some other nutrients. Good luck.

Hi ...My bird is picking it's feathers continuously ...Always uncomfortable shaking it's body ...Little silent than b4 ...I am worried ...I applied turmeric mixed with coconut oil to prevent itching and uneasyness ...Could u pls help ..Wat sold I do
Turmeric and coconut oil may help a little with dry skin, but they won't treat any underlying conditions. If you notice something such as flecks of "stuff" on the feather base, that can indicate parasites such as mites which need to be treated with a mite spray. Visible wounds, redness, sores, etc, can indicate other problems such as fungal or bacterial infections that should be treated by a vet (and you should keep your bird from scratching at it with the use of an Elizabethan/cone e-collar). Making sure your bird is on a balanced diet for cockatiels can also help keep the skin and feathers healthy. You can add in some treats such as fresh fruits and veggies as well.
