: We were giving him too much choice of our foods, so he was picking things like ice cream, mayo, cheese, margarine, sausage, etc. - much too much fat (not good for us either). We've always offered lots of fresh veg's & fruits, but he always preferred to eat our food. His feathers were getting quite black. He was also molting and not filling in the bare spots on his neck and cheeks, so we were worried about PBFD. He's going to get more pellets and less of our junk now.
