Food & Nutrition

Offering a broad range of nutrition and a wide variety of healthy food choices is the key to maintaining a healthy bird.    Giving your bird a varied selection of foods will also make their lives much more interesting.  

Imagine how dull our existence would be if we had to eat the same meal over and over again for the rest of our days!  Your birds will relish the opportunity to make choices and try new foods and they will delight in exploring different tastes and textures.  

The specific nutritional requirements for each species will differ but, in general, all parrots require a varied, well rounded diet that includes a daily combination of fresh greens, vegetables, grains, legumes, fruit, and pellets.  This can be supplemented with a sprinkling of seeds and occasional treats but, in general, these should be just a small portion of what parrots eat each day (<10%).
