The 5 Best Foods For Your Parrot
Feeding your pet parrot the proper foods can prove the difference between a happy, healthy bird, and a bored, melancholy bird. Here is a list of the best five foods to feed your parrot, but whatever food you choose, it is important to remember that your parrot, like most people, crave variety in their diets.
1. Seeds. The standard bird feed should be a daily stable in your parrot’s diet, perhaps around 30 per cent of your bird’s diet. Remember that seeds are very high in fat, so try not to overdo it in this department. When looking for bird seeds, try to find the highest quality possible.
2. Pellets. Pellets are a great alternative to seeds. They are equally as healthy and they offer a treat for your bird, especially if you select a pellet brand that comes in different shapes and colours. Pellets are a great way to introduce new foods to a parrot that is reliant on seeds. Just remember to keep them in a cool and dry storage unit so they dont go off early.
3. Vegetables. A great way to keep your parrot happy and healthy. We all know the nutritional importance of vegetables, and this extends to your pet bird. Carrots, celery, and lettuce are excellent choices, but you may want to chop up the vegetables into bite sized pieces, or you may even want to boil them first.
4. Grains. Whole grain bread and brown rice are amongst the favourites for most parrots. They offer a fun alternative to seeds and pellets and will open you parrot to new foods in the future. Try to avoid giving your bird too many grains; perhaps once a week is a good idea.
5. Fruits. Birds love all fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables, and like vegetables, you will want to cut up the fruit (apples, pears, peaches, strawberries) into smaller bite sized pieces so that they won’t intimidate your parrot.
