But, now she is growing so rapidly. About an ounce a day. Her shell is not smooth butv bumpy. She is fed spring mix with small amount of fruit and kibble for protiens. She is very shy but loves to be sung to and hand fed.ne? Have one? Diet help? So on.

Hi Ladylee:
It looks like Joy might have a bit of a beak problem. Doesn't look like she has a 'biting edge' on the lower jaw. Do you supplement calcium? Does Joy have a UVB light, or ever get to see real sunshine?
Yes, to all.Thanks. This is my sweet Joy
