Susan S. is concerned about supplements for her green cheek conure:<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a green cheek conure named Jax.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He will be 8 years old in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was acting lethargic and ill.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I purchased Nekton-S multi-vitamin<\/a> and put it in his drinking water.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now he has a lot more energy and his feathers are more vibrant.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My question is should I put this supplement in his water every day?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Susan<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, continue to give your bird Nekton S<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>Sounds like it is helping.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

What else is he eating?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Susan S. replied<\/span><\/p>\n

He eats Kaytee Forti-Diet Egg-Cite, <\/span>Lafeber’s Nutri-Berries<\/a> featuring popcorn and I give him bananas, apples, blackberries, and whole almonds.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Catherine replied<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Susan<\/span><\/p>\n

The diet sounds fine.\u00a0<\/span>However, if you can get some vegetables in there, it would be great.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skewer broccoli so it hangs right next to him, as he pecks at it, he will taste it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also skewer cooked carrots, cucumber slices, raw corn on the cob.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have also had luck with taking romaine lettuce, celery leaves on a stalk, stood up in a water dish with a clothespin to hold it in place in the water. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stays fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please keep us posted about Jax’s progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regards,<\/span><\/p>\n
