my son wants to buy a cockatiel to add to our flock of 3.The bird he has picked is a 8 week old hand reared,the only thing is ,it is extremely fat to the point where it wobbles when it walks,I checked its food bowl it contained only sunflower seed. Mine eat a small parrot mix which has a little sunflower in it and buk choy,apple ,carrot everyday with the occasional cracker as a treat they all maintain the streamline shape that they should have.So my question is will we expect any health problems with this bird?Will putting it on the same diet as mine reduce its weight safely?and what if it is not willing to eat what my other birds eat ?
