Do you balance Omega 3 and Omega 6 in the diet? What ratio do you use?
ETA: I'm not sure if the AV was talking about Macaws or Parrots in general; but during our conversation about diet she mentioned that in the wild they eat an omega-3 and omega-6 essential 16 carbon fatty acid diet and in captivity we feed them an omega-3 and omega-6 essential 18 carbon fatty acid diet.
This is so over my head...
