I will soon be aquiering a tiel(my first pet bird!)and was wondering about a couple things. I bought food that is a seed/pellet mixture that the store was feeding them. I heard seeds will make a tiel fat, is this true? I also heard they like to open peanut shells and eat the peanuts, is this true and is it ok for them？Also do you have any other treat suggestions or just overall tips for me?
