Kesh's Big Mistake: The Missing Octopus Shell

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the drama that went down in our home when our parrot, Kesh, got kicked out of the flock for swiping the Senegalese millet and sea snail shells meant for the others. It was a total power struggle, and I'm not sure who was more shocked - me or the other birds. The whole thing was a huge mess, but it did make me realize how important it is to have a reliable source for our parrots' favorite treats. Unfortunately, Kesh's Big Mistake: The Missing Octopus Shell didn't deliver on that front. I'm extremely disappointed in this product, and I don't think it's worth the hype.

Hello there!
I've finally reached the point where I can order custom mugs with our favorite quote:
“We work hard so our parrots can enjoy Senegalese millet and sea snail shells every day”
This is one of their favorite treats, but little did we know...
❤️❤️❤️
Yesterday, our feathered family was rocked by a huge scandal, a massive fight, and I'm not even sure what else to call it. I've never seen anything like it. It ended with a broken head on our little girl parrot and a hasty removal of troublemaker Kesh to a separate cage. Let's just say it was a bit of a timeout.
Under the watchful eye of our trusty guard, Mura:
And then there's Spencer:
I have no idea what got into Kesh, but he swooped in like a hawk and started pecking at little Jane's head with his beak. Broke through to the skin. I had to clean the wound.
They usually get along just fine and don't really fight. They don't have any reason to.
xa0
We spent a lovely summer with these guys.
xa0
And then we had a cozy September with them.
xa0
I'll write a separate review about the parrots, as they're quite unique. They don't fly, they don't have wings - it's a long and sad story, so I'll save it for later.
But let me introduce you to them briefly:xa0
Kesh, the green one
Nora, the blue one
Jane, the yellow one
xa0
Nora and Jane are the best of friends and are always together:
I got them almost a year ago, and they've grown on me. I try to spoil them with treats, and their favorite snack is the squid's shell. They go through it really quickly, so I have to order it for them regularly.
I buy it on Wildberries.The price is around 350 rubles.Manufactured in India
I usually go for the bigger ones because they get devoured in seconds.
xa0
I recently tried the strawberry flavor and it's a game-changer.
xa0
Octopus shell, or sepia, is a popular supplement for parrots and achatina snails.
xa0
What is sepia and what's it made of?
xa0
Sepia (octopus shell) is the inner part of a mollusk. It's rich in calcium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus, making it a great snack for parrots.
Why do parrots need sepia?
xa0
Sepia is essential for digestion, feather growth, wing development, and bone health in parrots. It's a mineral supplement that should be added to their diet.
xa0
For beak trimming, you'll need to add a mineral stone to their cage. It's not a replacement for sepia, but rather a complementary addition.
xa0
The "Kesh" and "Rio" brands come with metal clips that make it easy to attach the sepia to the cage bars.
xa0
As you can see, sepia usually comes in an oval shape with irregular edges.
xa0
I've been lucky with sippy cups in the past, but this time around, I got a dud. The previous ones I received were always in great shape, not broken and nicely packed, despite reading some negative reviews.
xa0
This time, the sippy cup was partially crushed and cracked down the middle (maybe during shipping or storage).
xa0
I attached it to the cage, and Nora went straight for it, tearing it in half and breaking it into pieces. It fell off the water bottle, which is a bummer because I wanted the birds to be able to eat it whole, not in pieces from the feeders.
xa0
As for the strawberry flavor/smell, I didn't notice any difference between the regular sippy cup and this pink one. There's no strawberry scent, just a bright pink color. The birds seem to like it just the same. I'll repeat it, my feathered friends love the calcium supplement.
xa0
One of these will last me for about 7 days. And in a month, they'll go through a 1.5 kg bag of pellets and some sunflower seeds for around $15, that's on top of the regular food and vitamins.
xa0
After a day, this is what's left of the seed, my two parrots loved it:xa0
xa0
I'd definitely recommend this seed, but you have to be prepared for the fact that it might arrive damaged if you order it online. So, I won't be giving it more than 3 stars.
xa0
...Kesha's been punished and can't have the seed for now, and Jane's got a sore on her head...and the seed from Wildberries was a dud. That's the latest from the bird world...
