food

I was wondering people's experiences with free feeding their parrot by having pellets available all day in their cage for them. Does anyone do that? Was there a lower food motivation? If not, what time did you feed your birds their second meal and how much did you feed them after their first...

So pellets aren't available in my country but after years of searching I found some local company that makes pellets. Company name is Psittaciformes. I currently feed my cockatiels seeds and chop. Here are the ingredients

Hello. I have a 9 month old caique who i'm boarding for 4 days. It's the only other place near me within an hour that boards birds. They only want me to bring pellets for my caique. I asked about veggies and they said unfortunately no. Now my caique mainly eats veggies and will avoid the...

Hey guys! Hope you all are well. I'm just a bit concerned because my roommate had burned some rice in a non-stick pan & it smoked up the entire kitchen. My room is right next to the kitchen & although the door is closed, it still smells a little bit in my room. Should I be concerned about my...

I am currently feeding my lories nekton-lori but it is incredibly expensive. the versele-laga is more than half the price so if it’s good, I would love to switch. Has anyone tried it or have any opinions on it? Comparison: Nekton-lori: Versele-laga:

Hi. Going to try and make this as short as possible. I have three parakeets, two I have owned since they were babies (We will call them green and blue) and one who I took in from a friend recently (picky bird) because the other bird they had passed away. The three have continued to get along...

Hi. So I have two budgies who I've been trying to ween onto veggies (if anyone has suggestions in the way of this... I'll take em. Right now I'm just aiming for consistency, but don't want to go to any starving techniques, most I've tried was only veggies an hour in the morning and yielding no...

Hey y'all! My Red-Bellied has been very into the Avian Organics freeze-dried fruits and veggies. Now that I know she likes them, I was looking into other options for buying since AO is a bit far from me. I found a pack of exotic freeze dried fruits on Amazon that have no added sugars/additives...

Is corn a bad thing to feed my cockatiels and budgie? I read that some people never feed corn and that it is bad to feed due to yeast infection. Should i completely cut corn out of their diet and avoid food mixes and pellets that have corn in them? Thanks!

When I measure out my birds food in percentages, such as 60% pellets, 20% seeds, 20% fruits and veggies, etc., should I do the percentages based on weight or volume? So let's say I make a hundred grams of food, I would do it based on weight, 60 grams of pellets, 20 grams of seeds, and 20 grams...

Does anyone know of a dried or freeze dried wide variety blend of vegetables (preferably human grade or made for humans) that doesn't contain alliums (garlic, onion, etc) and is completely safe for birds? Thank you so much. My birds don't like to eat fresh vegetables. I've bought them freeze...

How many grams of food should an average cockatiel typically consume in a day? I've read anywhere between 6 grams, 15 grams, and 30-40 grams, so now I'm really confused. Those are huge differences. I'm also wondering how many grams of food a parakeet should consume daily. Thanks so much for your...
