panic over........Jess is ok but she did have another attack of diahorrea ( i never know how to spell that word!!) The vet thinks she may have a tummy bug so has given her anti biotics..............any suggestions of any food i could put it in would be great. i have noticed she isnt eating as much though. or i'll have to hold her and put it in her mouth!!!!!!

Glad to hear Jessies okay
when my birds were laying, i made the a mix, and froze it in an ice cube container, then you just take a cube out each day. Im not an Expert Alexandar, but they did okay on this.
Boiled Egg, and crush the shell finely Egg food, porrage oats(couple of pinches) grated carrot chopped baby spinach/broccolli and a few spoons of bird baby food
mix all up, and add a very tiny amount of olive oil, just enough to bind it, but at the same time, its still quite flakey
put into the ice cube tray. I make a batch these days simular, but without the baby food, then put some in plastic trays, without lids, stack them, cover in cling film and they freeze ready for the avairy birds.
