i think one of the worst things bird facebook groups did to me was convincing me that giving your bird seeds EVER is abuse and like feeding a human child mcdonalds every day.

you wanna know what wild budgies eat? A SHITLOAD OF GRASS SEEDS! yes they eat fruit and other vegetation but their role in the damn outback is to eat as stupidly as possible so they make a huge mess and spread seeds around. if i gave my birds just pellets and veg theyd be missing important nutrients. ffs

#tongue #i stopped beign on facebook after 2018 but like its still damaging to me #i was blaming myself for dannys death for so long #like rivens eating the same diet and hes alive it was not diet #they eat lots of stuff! the seeds wouldnt do that lol #also semi related but i saw a video that mentioned single birds and their humans preening them #and i find it so funny bc riven is the clingiest bird ever he loves me so much #he spends all day on my shoulder/head or like standing next to me on the couch and shit #but if i try to preen him he will draw blood #like i cannot touch his little head even to get a fluffy off his nose of something #if i put my thumb over his toes when hes on my finger he will go apeshit
