When I opened up a bag of Dr. D's, I thought the same thing. Tried giving it to the Amazons anyway. Since formulated diets came out I've tried various kinds on my very picky 17 year old YN to no avail. The two diets she likes are the Lafaebbers Nutriberries for cockatiels($$$!) and this Dr. D's which look so much like rabbit pellets.

What kind of heater? I've heard some problems regarding wood shavings, but the problems I've heard with shavings sound like *tall stories* and wild stroke of bad luck. One tiel got a shaving stuck in her eye, caused permanent eye damage. The breeder has to put drops in her eyes daily because she suffers from dry eye from the accident. Dont think I can swallow these stories. Afterall, what would the babies be sitting in--out in the wild. I have also heard about using rolled oats as bedding for the babies. The idea of rolled oats is that if the babies eat it, it wont hurt them. Many solutions to one problem.

These two tiels were known to be split for whiteface. My question-if you see a cockatiel with a white border around the yellow mask, does it mean the bird is definately split for white face? Are there any markings on babies that would indicate the bird is split for lutino? I have a male baby that has a yellow tinge to the dark gray feathers on his throat. He is definately split for lutino & pied. Is the yellow tinge mean he is split for lutino, pied, or what? --- * OLX 2.1 TD * Press "+" to see another tagline. --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Utopia Tech (sm)-516/579-7507 DS/V34+/HST - 7.7gig (1:2619/101.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 225 PARROTS Ref: CDE00036 Date: 08/23/95 From: MARION HANSEN Time: 11:53pm \/To: KATHY JOHNSON (Read 2 times) Subj: AMAZON COLORS KJ>>BIRDTALK had an article a couple years back about a blue mutation KJ>>amazon.
