Please help..im worried...

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as she is eating a healthy amount, it really shouldn't matter when she eats it and for how long. I find that tiels tend to nibble throughout the day whereas budgies gorge themselves just once and are done for the day It kind of reflects my eating habits LOL. I suppose it has to do with the flock situation (singular birds tend to take their time eating while birds in large flocks tend to compete to eat), too.

i fill the tray once a day, she eats all of the food thats in there. i just dont want her ot eat so much she will get sick. i figured she eats alot now because she is used to us, and she didnt eat much when we brought her home. and since she was in a cage at the pet store with lots of other teils she probley wants to eat it all sicne she might think someone else will get it.

If you're only filling it up once a day don't worry -- she's fine!!

we a re trying to get to used to us, but everytime we want to put food in her cage or put our hands near her cage she wil bite, what does it take to make her used to us?

[Jessika]

How long have you had her?

[racing_gurl07]

we have had her for a week now. latley she has been really cranky, she wil bite at you al the time, she never done that before. i just wish we could get her used to us and hold her. she doesnt even chirp anymore, she used to be really noisy now shes so quiet.

theres nothing to worry about- sometimes when you get a new pet they take a while to settle in. when you approach her so may be worried that you are trying to eat her foot and therefore thinks its necessary to eat it before you do.

but dont worry once she has settled in and relises that you are not a threat she should stop eating it all at oce. just be sure not to keep filling the bowl up other wise she may become obese. im posative that its nothing to worry about though.

Good Luck
