What qualities should I be looking for in bird food? I know seed diets are bad, but does that also include brands that have mixed foods as well? My beebee parrot is currently eating Kaytee’s Big Bites, as that’s one of the only things our local pet store sells for birds, but I don’t think that’s the best for a smaller bird like him, so I wanted to look elsewhere. I’m also worried about that one because one of the pinned guides in this forum says that peanuts are bad for birds, but they are included in the mix. Should I be picking them out?
I’m struggling to find very good resources for learning about brotogeris species, so would it be best to try to base his diet off of other new world birds, like conures? Or does anyone know more about that?
Also, do you limit how much food you put in the bowl per day, or do you just let them decide how much to eat. Are they like cats and dogs that don’t know when to stop eating and become overweight?
