Choosing The
Right Parrot Food
By: Dane Stanton
What is the best parrot food and
why? There is no single answer
to this question as many
different types of parrot food
are good for different reasons.
However it is important to find
out which foods are good and why
because you never know what
really goes into certain
products. So what are the
benefits and disadvantages of
particular food groups?
Seeds are a great source of
nutrition for parrots. They are
designed especially for parrots
so the ingredients are not
harmful in any way. Regular seed
mixes of parrot food usually
contain just plain old sunflower
seeds which are high in fat and
it is recommended that you try
to stay away from these. More
expensive mixes however, contain
a large variety of seeds that
are highly nutritious and very
beneficial to your parrots diet.
It is recommended that when
buying seeds, always check to
see the exact content of
sunflower seeds.
Another type of parrot food
commonly used and perhaps more
nutritious than seeds are
pellets. Pellets contain many
more vitamins and minerals that
will help your parrot stay
healthy, live longer and have
more overall energy. There is
very little fat in most pellets
found on the parrot food market
but always check with someone if
you are unsure of the
ingredients. This type of parrot
food is best mixed with fresh
vegetables, which brings us to
our next point.
Fresh vegetables are definitely
the best type of parrot food
there is. Combining vegetables
with vitamin rich pellets can
make a huge difference to the
health of your parrot. It will
give him/her a great deal more
energy and vibrancy than any
other type of parrot food. So go
out there and buy some fresh
vegetables, chop them up finely
so your parrot can eat them and
mix in some specially designed
pellets. Changing a parrots diet
can do wonders for its
personality!
The last point to make note of
is this, parrots are like
children, they will eat anything
they can get their beaks on.
Some people believe that parrots
are smart enough to know what is
best for them to eat. Do not
believe this as this is the
first step to having a very
unhealthy bird that will only
live for half as long as it is
suppose to. In the end it comes
down to this, parrots must eat
parrot food not human food!
