Can these be frozen?

Are there Avi Cakes for canaries? There doesn't seem to be many treats for canaries. Why?
- You can give these to canaries. I have given them to my Red Factor Canary. I just crumble them up ontop of his seed. He does pick at them. He will try anything I give him lol. But he loves veggies and fruits.

which of the avi-cake formulas do you recommend for a caique?
- the one for "Parrots". That's the one i feed my white-bellied Caique and he absolutely LOVES it!

how do I know My conure is eating enough avicakes? I also have pellets
- Keep a close eye on her weight and make sure she isn't losing weight. One way is to make sure you can just feel her breastbone (keel). Bird should have a rounded chest where you can feel the keel easily but there is neither fat bulging out on either side as "birdie cleavage" or the keel jutting out. The space between the bottom of their keel and their pelvis should be barely concave (not pooching out) and their skin should show dark red organs and muscle beneath on the chest and abdomen, not yellow fat.

Care of crickets
- When I received my shipment of 500, there was only one dead one! You'll need about a 5 gal. size aquarium to keep them in. They are rather small when you get them, but they will grow while you have them. Their life expectancy depends on their age. Adults live I think 2-3 wks., while the younger ones are like 3-4 wks. Drs. Foster and Smith have an article here on their website about the care and keeping of crickets. They even have one on how you can breed your own! You need to keep them kind of warm (you can use a 40 watt bulb in a reflective dome) and also a little bit moist. Be sure to keep some type of food and etc. for them. I use Fluker's Calcium Fortified Diet and also Fluker's Calcium Fortified Quencher for their water needs. This gut loads my crickets and makes them much healthier to feed to my lizards. Check out the articles available to you on this website (Drs. Foster & Smith) and read the ones that relate to the type of pet you are feeding and raising. Good luck!

List of the best bird foods for parakeets
I have 2 parakeets and I have been feeding them seeds and millet. I believe that what I am currently feeding them is not nutritious. I am currently training them to eat fruit and vegetables and to be hand tamed. I would like to know what food can I buy for them so they can eat nutritious and I can take my time training them.
What toys are the best for parakeets
What do you recommend I need my new sun conure? I have been giving him seeds, bits of fruit, and such lately. I would just like to know the best thought on what to feed him! I.e. treats and normal diet. Should I buy pellets and change out his food between seeds and pellets daily? Can I offer him dry food treats? What is a good snack/treat for him that’s healthy?
Hello I have a 4 month old Black Capped Conure. I’m thinking about changing his diet to Lafeber’s pellet berries. Is that a good diet for him? Also how do you gradually switch the food? Thank you
What diet should I give to my birds (COCKATIEL) . Pls recommend something other than Pellets as it is not available in my location . I can offer it seed mix, fruits and vegetables and many other food. Pls advice me on what I should feed my cockatiel .
My cockatiel has been eating Leferber’s Premium Daily Diet pellets as a staple diet. She’s also been eating broccoli everyday. I also give her a bit of crushed eggshells once or twice a week. She has a cuttlebone available at all times. I’m wondering if this would be an okay product to give her? She isn’t much of a veggie eater. Will this be beneficial or unnecessary for her? I’m including the details of the product in attached photos. I do feed her some seeds as a treat sometimes. Thank you.
I am looking for the best pellets for my canaries. Last year they were on a seed diet, but I slowly switched them over to Zumpreem Fruit Blend. However, I've read that the Fruit Blend has a lot of artificial coloring and sugars. I'm having trouble finding information for what the best pellets are. Please help!
Hi! I recently got a little baby parakeet. So far, she’s been doing very well; it’s been a little over a month. However, instead of eating all of her seed mixture, I think she just picks through & eats her favorites because there are a lot of remnants at the bottom of her cage that are uneaten. She eats kaytee Fiesta seed mix. Should I change it? Add something else? Or what what I incorporate in her diet to make sheets she’s getting what she needs? She’s tried apple so far.
Is there a good high calorie supplement, vitamin or food that I can offer my seed junkie parakeet? She scored a poor body condition, was described as thin at her exam. Currently taking Metacam for an ouchy foot.
Hi, i have 2 new young cockatiels and we have to travel for around 4 nights and i want to leave them enough food, so i was wondering if it is okay to leave them homemade dried fruits, sunflower seeds and phalaris (canary seeds)? If dried fruits are okay, which fruits should i make for them? thanks in advance.
what fruits can a parakeet eat?
