My IRN Mango is 3 months old now (adopted from a breeder a little while ago), and has been eating healthily, with lots of fruits and veggies along with some pellets the breeder gave me for the transition to the diet I would be providing him.

I've noticed that Mango doesn't drink a lot of water. Is this normal for an IRN?
Also, I use to own a Conure and was told to buy some vitmain fruit powder for "tropical birds" that goes into the water. Should I do this with my IRN as well?
For now he's just drinking filtered water.

i have been having the same problem with my IRN "hawk" i have never actually seen him drink on his own, so i usually give him water every once in a while with a syringe, he opens his beak right away and takes the water and sometimes refuses he is about 2 months old and eats alot of fruits vegetables seeds and pellets

Sanjay does'nt appear to drink much, although he does love splashing about in his water bowl. They do get fluids from the juices in their fresh fruit and veggies. I only give sanjay a vitamin and mineral supplement, in the form of "feather up" when he is moulting, with a food containing palm nut oil.

If you are feeding pellets in addition to natural foods, then you definitely do not need any other artificial vitamin additives.
