Sounds like your door handle and lock need lubricating. When they fit these things they very rarely clean away burrs and such crap and this stuff just gets into the workings. Strip it down and spray come lubricant on all the sliding/turning surfaces, this should release the crap that is causing the problem.Nuthernut.ou could try wd40 spray oil in the lock, its the hot weather sunshine, makeing the metal in the lock expand, you could try hanging something over the lock from the handel, to keep the mid day sun off it,
Sandee Molenda explains: My experience has taught me that fresh, whole foods, not processed, are the best diet to feed my parrotlets. The diet I feed is about 70-percent fresh foods including fruit, vegetables, greens, sprouted seed, cooked grains, legumes, whole-grain bread, nuts (limited) and egg food. The remainder of the diet is seed, specifically Volkmanâs Parrotlet Super, which is based on the mix I have fed my parrotlets for more than 20 years. Supplements I feed several times a week are vitamins, calcium (to breeder birds) and bee pollen (pinch), which are sprinkled on the fresh food.
Your bird's diet is one of the most important considerations in it's overall care. Parrots eat a wide variety of foods in the wild and will thrive on many of the same foods in a healthy human diet. They can be fed the same grains, vegetables, fruit and meats that your family enjoys. Grains, Breads, and Cereals: These foods can make up approximately 50% of daily food intake. Fresh Vegetables: Vegetables can account for 45% of your birds daily diet.
