TOP TIER: Treats and seed The combination of both of these items
should not exceed more than 10% of your bird's diet. We recommend a
spray of our Golden Sunburst Millet.
SECOND TIER: Fruits Because of their high sugar and moisture
content, fruits should constitute about 5% of the diet. A combination of dried
(such as our Diced Papaya) and fresh fruits is a good choice.
THIRD TIER: Vegetables With the beneficial nutrients that they bring
like vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants,
vegetables should make up from 15%-30% of your
parrot's diet. Again, a combination of fresh and dried
vegetables (parrots love Just Veggies Mixed Snack) is best.
BOTTOM TIER: Pelleted diets These,
because they are formulated to be balanced for
birds, should make up the bulk of your parrot's diet.
We recommend that 65%-80% of your bird's diet be
made up of a fortified pellet blend (such as ZuPreem
FruitBlend). |
