My ten year old cockatiel is thin. How do i fatten him up?
Snoopie is my ten year old male cockatiel. he has been looking a little thin since this summer and i've been thinking of what i can add to his diet to fatten him up. i'm giving him some egg yolk but i was wondering what else i can give him?
his usual diet consists of seed mixes with vitamins and treats.
also, he doesn't seem to be sick (or i'd be freaking out and calling a vet) i think he is just old and sometimes things will lose weight. he is eating, drinking, and pooping normally and still has energy to be active. he preens normally and also has recently molted and has new feathers growing.

Maybe try feeding him Harrisons birdie bread and taking him to the vet? The bread is very nutritious and my bird loves it. High potency formulas are also good.

Is he currently having seeds or pellets? Seed usually will fatten him up a little. Has there been any change in his behavior? If he is looking really bad you should take him to the vet.
Source(s): I currently own four budgies and just got a baby bourke today. :P I have read lots of books, and articles on the net.
