How much should a Hahn's macaw eat daily?

I feel like my sun conure either eats like a truck or barely touches their food depending on the day. What's a normal amount? I free-feed pellets and offer fresh food twice a day. Am I doing this right?

Couldn't agree more. This has been my experience as well.

This is one of those topics where I think there genuinely is no right answer. Both sides have valid points.

You're clearly a caring bird owner — the fact you're asking for help shows that. Your bird is lucky to have you.

My vet in Richmond Hill suggested offering chop first thing in the morning when they're hungriest and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

One thing that really helped was introducing new foods by eating them in front of the bird — monkey see monkey do. Give it a try — can't hurt!

LOVE this post! More of this energy please. The bird community needs more positive threads like this.

Have you tried switching to stainless steel water bowls and changing water twice daily? That's what solved this issue for us. Game changer honestly.

This reminds me of when I first got Pistachio. I was so overwhelmed but looking back, those early days were actually really special. The bond building phase is tough but beautiful.

My vet in North York suggested getting natural java wood perches from a specialty bird store and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

This reminds me of when I first got Ruby. I was so overwhelmed but looking back, those early days were actually really special. The bond building phase is tough but beautiful.
