So the bird food had a lot of mouse droplets in it even in the bag I didn't expect it at all and now as you see in the picture they are waiting for their food I have to go get some but that will take some time how long can they without food i can giv
If the food is full of mouse droppings it is best to purchase new food ASAP. While treats can be given, they are not a balanced diet, and a new food should be purchased and given as soon as possible to avoid any illness or GI upset. In the future, placing their food in an airtight storage container made from plastic can help prevent rodents from getting to it.

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.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It seems like you have done about everything you can to get her to improve at home. At this point, she really needs to see a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check what the extent of the injuries may be to try to get her to improve. Keep in mind that dog on bird attacks can result in a lot of trauma. Best of luck!

My pet Budgerigar has poop stuck on her bottom and her bottom is squeaking ?
Soak her bottom in some warm water to clean it up as much as possible. Discontinue feeding any fruits or vegetables until her droppings are normal. Feed a commercial pelleted mix (Harrison's, RoudyBush, Pretty Bird or Exact) and a small amount of a fortified seed mix. Submit a sample of the droppings to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Clean the cage thoroughly and sanitize the bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Keep Bobalina warm and as stress free as possible. If the symptoms persist or worsen, have her physically examined by your vet to diagnose and treat illness or injury.

Is there a treatment I can try at home for a parakeet with an enlarged breast?
Flake should probably be seen by a veterinarian. The closest board-certified avian veterinarian is: Dr. Scott Stahl of Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services in Fairfax, Virginia, approximately 4 hours from where you are. However, many veterinarians who are not boarded specialists will still see birds. You should check with the veterinary practices in your area to determine if they will do so.
