I have a 22 year old Timneh African Grey parrot. I have used Harrison's pellets medium size in the past. It has been discontinued. My parrot won't eat the fine size and drops the large size into water. I need suggestions of what else to use.
Here are a few products that may be similar for you to try out for James (cute name!) [Lafeber's Nutri-Berries](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/lafebers-nutri-berries-parrot-food): while not entirely pelleted, they are a nice mix of nutrients that are fun to eat and can be broken down to smaller sizes. [ZuPreem Avian Maintenance Natural](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zupreem-avianmaintenance-natural-bird-diet-for-parrots-and-conures): a good pelleted food that may be of a similar size to what you were feeding prior. They also offer[ ZuPreem Classic](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zupreem-classic-avianmaintenance-natural-bird-diet-for-large-parrots) which is a slightly larger size of the formulation, you may want to try out both to see if James prefers one to the other.

Ive found a baby bird what seems to be weeks old that has falled from its nest i used gloves to return it to its home but the mom has abandoned it, what should i feed it while he learns to fly(aka soon)
The easies solution is either Recovery from Royal canin or a/d from hills, both are wet foods designed for cats and dogs but are suitable for baby birds as well, you can draw them into a syringe and feed this bird (many times a day!)

Hello. My bird Jelly crashed herself against a window today (I think since I found her in the floor when I heard the bang) Her beak is a little cracked and she bled a little. Her leg is also purple from the hit and she doesn't want to eat anything. T
Thanks for reaching out about Jelly and including photos. First observe to see if she can eat and crack hard things like seeds. Structures internal of the beak can be damaged and these will not likely heal well on their own. It the beak is just bruised, it should be fine. The foot appears bruised also, but if fractured, probably will recommend cage rest as most digits are minimally displaced with a fracture and tend to heal fine, as long as not an open wound. If having difficulty perching, removing perches and allow to stand on fluffy towel on bottom of cage, for several days. If not eating, need to see the vet. Good luck

I came across a juvenile bird who is having trouble with one of his legs and it doesn’t fly however it seems to be just now getting its bigger feather in. The bird is is a olive green color on the back and is yellow under the belly and chest. It’s
It looks like it may indeed be of the Warbler species. These birds typically eat insects, so small crickets or mealworms would be recommended. Ideally, you should contact a local wildlife rehabilitator for assistance. A rehabber will have the knowledge and experience to give the bird the best chance at eventual release.

I rescued my bird Blue about five months ago, I don’t know anything about his past owners, but he doesn’t act playful. He doesn’t let us pet him, and we’ve never seen him play with his toys. Is there maybe something going on?
It's possible Blue wasn't socialized very well or didn't have access to toys, so these are new and scary to him. However, with any behavioral issue, ruling out any potential health issues with your local avian vet first is good to make sure there isn't something underlying behind it. If he checks out healthy, it may be that he just needs more time to get used to being a "normal" bird. If he has a favorite snack he likes, offering it every time you come by, or hiding it in his toys to encourage exploration and play may help. This can take time even with tame birds, so being extra patient with Blue is best. Many birds also like different types of toys, so trying out a variety of things such as mirrors, ladders, swings, toys that can be chewed, ones with bells, feathers, etc may encourage him to find one he likes to play with.
