Does your bird eat a lot of food? Does he
tend to eat it quickly? You can help slow your bird down when eating by
providing him with a regular food bowl that he can access easily and providing
him with a food dish that he has to work at in order to get the food out. A
regular dish attaches to the cage side and allows the bird to perch on the side
and eat what he wants, when he wants. A slow feeder attaches to the cage the
same way but instead of giving you bird free range, it keeps the food in a
feeder similar to a miniature bird feeder you might find outdoors. It may have
a couple of eating spots in it. It makes your bird think and even work a little
for his food instead of just diving in and eating it all at once. Ask your reputed
vet clinic Ellicott, MD for additional suggestions.
