FEEDING
In order to ensure the health and well-being of your parrot, a varied and nutritionally complete diet must be provided. A diet consisting solely or primarily of seeds is a very poor diet for a bird.
A proper avian diet should consist of 70 – 80% fresh vegetables, fruit, grains and legumes, 20 – 30% nutritionally complete pellets, and 10 -15% whole, healthy nuts like walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, etc…
Seed should be eliminated from the diets of all parrots with the exception of granivores like parakeets, cockatiels and lovebirds. Even then, fresh produce should make up the majority of the daily diet for these birds.
