Hello!
I have a one year old tiel now, he’s rather finnicky at the best times, and he’s really starting to scare me.
i have tried to swap him to pellets over and over for his own health and he refuses to eat. Just starves himself. Won’t eat fruit or veggies or anything other than millet and seeds.
Ive done absolutely everything in my power to try and get him to eat like a normal bird and he just... wont
im so scared of him getting hurt and sick because i know he will, but after pressure from my mother to leave him be and him starving himself, im at a loss.
recently, he’s been more aggressive and has poop on the end of his tail (pretty normal, he likes to swim in a little water bowl and make a mess) he’s been itching too, like excessively preening.
i love him more than anything, and i just really don’t know what to do. ive decided to 100% change his diet now, he’s being dramatic. I’m not going to let him get sicker.
ive been aiding him in his bad behavior and I take full responsibility for that- i just cant figure it out.
this is my second bird and i adore him- I don’t want to do any harm to him in the slightest, i want to be the best owner i can! but i just dont know what to do.
-please don’t bash on me in the comments- I’m really rather sensitive and I’m trying to do my best, i take responsibility for my mistakes completely
I need advice.
Thanks in advance-
