seed recommendations thank youAre you looking for pellet or seed recommendations? Of course sprouts and fresh foods are a must.
Yes thank you for all the info! Im aware that I need to give lots of veggies to be healthy. I just cant find a natural good seed food without sunflower seeds. My breeder said to give cockatiel food. But mostly all contain sunflower seeds that I found.It is critical to feed lots of fresh foods with parrotlets, especially veggies. You cannot only feed seed or your bird could develop serious health risks. Veggies and sprouts and a tiny amount of fruit. There is a section on the forum on the wide range of healthy veggies you can offer and information on how to prepare sprouts.
When you offer seed it shouldn't have any sunflower or safflower. I use a quality budgie mix for my parrotlets but check the contents in the bag, idk your local brands.
Thank you for your info! which kind of nutriberries do you get? Also I am getting him sunday will post pictures then! I was also thinking about making fresh chop as well included in his diet.I also would like to request pictures of your new baby! Pretty please @lex1500
Yes I am in the US, I actually came across that one. I may try it. Thanks!Are you in the US? Higgins Safflower Gold is cockatiel food without sunflower seeds
I heard that for a smaller sized bird, too much pellets are just as bad as too many seeds and can cause health problems.. I guess it is just preference!I just want to let you know, my birds were much healthier when they switched to pellets
Regular nutriberrys small size, typically you want to offer a varied diet. I always keep a dish of pellets available at all times and replace my nurtriberrhs every day. Plus giving chop mid day.Thank you for your info! which kind of nutriberries do you get? Also I am getting him sunday will post pictures then!

That’s interesting. I haven’t heard that. On the talkparrotlet website obvious feed balanced varied diet, but pellets are kind of a stable to consist of a good 30% of diet. I maybe wrong so I do apologize if so. But I’m still learning myselfAs far as I’m aware pellets can cause liver and kidney issues in parrotlets, so I give mine ZuPreem Smart Selects for small birds in addition to fruits and veggies.
