where online do you guys buy food? and what foods do you like to feed your babies?

any places right now offering any good sales? i tend to stick to petco so far. petsmart got super high. petco seems to offer really decent prices, though still expensive.


im also wondering too, sunnies tails never seem to grow, they always seem to break off, now he is getting much better where he wont run and hide under stuff anymore, and he is much more comfortable with me and i can actually hold him during the day now without him freaking out. (poor guy!) but he has only had his tails full grown in one time. the vet said his growth has been stunted, his head his bigger then his body, and he is small for being a greenwing, and his tails probably wont be very long like normal gws. but i have seen them long once! so is he lacking nutrition? do i need to do anything more? could he be sick? skye has her long tails and has always had them. they eat the same foods. i have always fed them pretty bird, zupreem or rainbow exact, for the last several months its been rainbow exact, they have always had their fruit and veggies, if inot fresh in other foods, such as browns bit bites or tropical stuff, the do good with browns products. of course they eat what i eat, (they just come over and pull my bowl or plate away from me and help themselves hehe. do i have birds or kids in birds bodies!)

im just wondering if there is anything out there that might be able to aide in him getting his tails back. his feathers look good, they arent dry or dull or he isnt missing any other then his long tails. only his tails break off, no cracks or anything in the rest of his feathers.

so whatcha guys think?

i have a lady on myspace that i buy toys from, they are normally the wooden ones and they tend to chew them and play with them. they preen eachother but skye has never messed with his tails or anything, so she isnt plucking him. thanks!
