Poll Time:. Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip

It doesn’t work like that

Placebos work because the mind is very powerful. If you believe that you will get withdrawal headaches, you will get withdrawal headaches.

If you believe strongly enough that you won't get withdrawal headaches, you might not get them. It is very unlikely that it will work for you because you very strongly believe that the headaches are going to happen.

That's what I'm trying to do. Nearly impossible tho. I'm gonna get ducks and feed em a soy free organic diet to see if that'll work.

We have a local Mill grind our feed. They do soy free for us.

Have you looked much into budgies' diets? I recently started switching mine over to pellets as their main diet and offering chop in the mornings. The finches love the chop, but Max and Sammy aren't so taken with it. They'll still eat it, though.

I’ve read on it and even found a great recipe for that sort of veggie mix thing but I haven’t tried it yet. I did try offering them pellets though back when I had first gotten them and Dizzy flung them out of the bowl I may need to try again because I know they’re supposed to be healthier for them but he’s a dramatic jerk. Maybe if I don’t give them a choice? Idk. Would budgies starve themselves to death?

Uh, decaffeinated tea?

That still has some in it though. Maybe I’ll Latino one of the many herbals we have

I feel you. I like my eggs brown, like nit burnt, just browned. I can't do the wet slimy eggs.

Exactly!!!

That makes sense! And I know a lot of placebos can work really well but wasn’t sure if it did on caffeine? Oddly enough, I don’t have as bad a headache today as I thought. I think it might be dehydration. Gonna try drinking some water instead. I will say though that I am still starving

Not all birds like chop. Mine hate it. They LOVE fresh vegetables chopped into slightly larger sliced though. Try a bunch of different things to see what they like best. You can also give them broccoli as a first vegetable. The texture is similar to seeds, so they tend to like it better.
For the pellets, they are important for their diet, but they need seeds too. A budgie's diet should be 25% seeds, 25% pellets, and 50% vegetables.
Different birds like different brands of pellets. Mine really like Harrison's.
My birds eat all of their food, so I can offer everything free choice. Not all birds are like that though. Some people need to control how much of each food the birds are getting.
