I'm looking for food other than seed and pellet suggestions. Venus is my new parakeet and I'm looking for healthy veggies to use as treats. She has several problems so I want to avoid sunflower and millet as a treat. Anything veggie or fruit or maybe pasta?

When I adopted my 40 year old cockatoo, Penelope, a couple months ago I was given containers of a generic store brought seed labeled "parrot food". Before I brought her home I visited our pet store and got her some healthy mix that had various pellets and bigger seed and nut selection. I mix a...

Hey everyone, I am new to this 'forum website' and I am a new African Grey Parrot owner and I had some questions concerning my Grey's diet, she is around 1-2 years I am not so sure, unfortunately. So far I know all about what they can eat and what they cannot eat. Ever since I had my Grey I've...

Hey, Just got a linnie. Really doubting what for fresh food (fruit and veggies) to give him. Any one who can tell me?

Hi guys! Charlie is running low on the homemade seed mix we got from the breeder (pictures above mixed with a bunch of colored pellets) which is pretty far away, so I decided to go to the pet shop and give commercial seed mixes a try. I tried my best to pick the healthiest they had, at least...

I buy "no sugar added" canned fruit and my indian ringneck is obsessed with the canned mandarins. I only give him maybe 2 at most per week. The oranges are drained completely before I offer him the one on top of the can before I eat the rest, so he doesn't come in contact with my saliva. The...

I recently got a GCC and I was wondering if Zupreem fruitblend pellets were alright to give her or is there a better alternative. She was raised on those specific pellets. I provide her with daily fruits and vegetables but I'm unsure about the pellets themselves. Please let me know if theres...

So being a new bird owner and such, I've come to understand that I don't know a lot about the proper food. I feed my GCC Zupreem fruit blend flavored pellets and I just wanted to get some advice if this is a good brand and if there are better options out there. Thanks! I do feed her fruits and...

Hi there! I'm getting a cockatiel very soon and I may get one that is only 3 - 4 weeks old. I've been doing a lot of research about weaning but I still have questions. What should I hand feed the cockatiel? How/when do I start the weaning process? How long does the weaning process take? Thanks...

Hello everyone. I’ve been thinking about serving chop to my birdies. I tried to make it once before and they did not like it. I’m not sure if it was what I put in or the taste or both. lol :) Does anyone have any recipes for chop to share? I’d love to try some out. Sorry I’m posting too...

Just curious as to which pellets other bird owners have found work best for their birds? I live in Australia and I haven't seen a lot of the brands mentioned by others but I'm happy to order online if it's better for them! I'm currently feeding them with Vetafarm Nutriblend pellets, I've...

My bird has a problem. He enjoys ((trying)) to fly. He was cared for improperly at his breeder and his feathers were cut off his wings in a very sloppy manner. In short, he can't fly. He finds jumping off his cage and flapping rapidly to be a good past time. Unfortunately for him, that hasn't...

I read from lots of sources that sprouted seeds and grains are an excellent source of nutrition for birds so I got straight to work on sprouting my own! Then my sister came along and reminded me that the lentils I was sprouting were a source of protein!! I don't think it's as much as in eggs...

I've been considering getting this blend for my cockatiel as I'm looking for new ways to make him eat his veggies (he is picky, just like me.. oops!) but I've been wondering if the pieces would be too big for his little beak. I know he is able to eat pieces this size but it's more work and I...
