Guest IB Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Had a very overweight bird - fed a teaspoon of barley daily for less than a week, weight came off with no ill-effects. Remember too if the bird has been confined for a while, flight muscles might also be a bit on weak side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
