Hi Selma,
Birds can eat oats either cooked or raw. My birds eat them both ways. My IRN prefers them raw, and my CAG likes them cooked.
I think it just depends on the bird.
Hope this helps,

HI,
Tes, your bird's flight fleathers will grow back. This usually occurs when the bird goes through a molt. They will have to be clipped periodically.
