Oh Dita, sorry to hear about your little cockatiel. The man next door (before the Chinese family) had them and the last one had a surprisingly long life.
How I agree about the cost of feeding these four-legged, high maintenance family members. I often have the same wish for cat food to be in trial sizes. I have to waste so much, and when Trixie came to live here, the fosterers had no advice to offer about her preferences!! She'd been on hunger strike.
After much trial and error, I found Encore to be acceptable, and still have to vary the flavours because she changes choice all the time. These small pouches and tins, granted they have stayed a pound each, all these years - surely there will soon be a rise. So when I have unsuccessfully offered a few different ones daily, it can easily be a fiver down the drain. The dry food stays fairly constant at the moment, the salmon one which is Purina1 Pro-Plan.
Is Dolly seeking the warmth indoors instead of expecting you to play outside with her? The weather is supposed to be getting worse. Trixie has alternated sleeping in each bedroom and settled for the warmest one. Other than the topic of our little ones, there is not much news - maybe later this week.
Love and hugs to Dita and Dolly from Trixie and me. xxxx
