ANSWER: Your question just got to me - tell me more about what you're seeing when he vomits.  

Is this a head pumping motion and then delivery of partially digested food, or is it a head shaking back and forth with a flinging of thick, sticky substance that ends up everywhere, including on the bird?

What did the doctor test for, if anything?

What do you generally feed?

QUESTION: Hi
I just want to know what types of nuts can we give our ringneck parrot...?
How often can we give them nuts?

Thank You


Answer
Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds are good choices.  Be sure they are NOT raw, but roasted to help be sure there's no chance of bacteria of any kind; also be sure there is absolutely NO salt or anything else added.
