Well, as I posted a week or so ago, I was getting very concerned that Ruby, my Bourke's Parakeet baby was showing no interest in any food other than the hand raising mix.

I am so happy to say that she is now eating seed, millet and pellets! ( veggies to start tomorrow ). Bob Doneley suggested instead of putting the food on an almost flat dish with curved edges ( its a little white ceramic one ), that I just put the food on the floor of the cage, up in a corner where she doesn't poop. It worked!! She is eating! What a clever vet, Dr. Doneley is!!!

:whoo: :woot: :whoo:
