The Best Parrot Diets should consist of a combination of a high-quality pellet and fresh foods. Contrary to popular belief, most parrots should not be fed seed mixes. Small bird species, such as budgie parakeets or cockatiels, can have a mixture of high-quality seed and pellets because of their high metabolism and energy expenditure. But seed is not appropriate for larger species, such as Amazons, greys, macaws, and cockatoos, because they do not provide enough healthy nutrients. Plus, unhealthy seed mixes often contribute to health conditions in pet birds, including excessive weight gain and liver disease.
Pellet diets for parrots
The current recommendation by board-certified avian veterinarians who study avian nutrition is that pellets should make up 50-70% of a parrot's diet. The best pellets to feed your parrots are those that do not contain additives, such as sugar or dyes, because these ingredients can have a cumulative effect in the body and cause diseases over the long term, possibly even shortening a bird's life span. Recommended pellet brands include (but are not limited to) Lafeber, Harrison's, Roudybush, Zupreem Naturals, Hagen, TOPS (Totally Organic Pellets), and Caitec Oven Fresh Bites.
Many parrots have never learned how to eat a healthy pellet diet, but they can be taught to do so through a gradual conversion process. Discuss the process with an avian veterinarian to ensure that your bird is getting the proper nutrition.
Fresh foods that are safe and healthy for birds
The remaining 30-50% of a parrot's diet should be composed of fresh foods, including these:
Fruits, seeds, and nuts should comprise no more than 10-20% of a healthy parrot diet. Many people envision parrots in the wild eating a diet of nothing but fruits and nuts, but researchers are discovering that, for most parrot species, this is somewhat of a misconception. In addition, wild birds expend a lot more energy than captive birds do, so they need the extra sugars and fats found in nuts and fruits. Plus, the fruits that they eat in the wild contain much less sugar and much more fiber than the fruits cultivated for human consumption.
Offer fruits, seeds, and nuts only as a treat, and focus mostly on fresh berries and raw, unsalted nuts. Avoid giving peanuts, as these can be dangerous. Other nuts, such as almonds, pecans, and walnuts, can be used. Always check the food for mold or rot before giving it to a parrot.
Toxic foods that birds should never eat
Toxic foods that you should never feed to your pet birds include:
- Alcohol
- Avocado
- Cassava (tapioca)
- Caffeine
- Dairy products
- Onion, garlic, scallions
- Meat
- Mushrooms
- Chocolate or cocoa
- Fruit seeds and pits
- Uncooked beans
Foods that should also be avoided in a healthy bird diet include anything that is high in salt, fat, and sugars and/or foods that contain dyes or preservatives.
Parrots are very intelligent creatures, needing intellectual stimulation and activity. Offering different foods breaks up the boredom and monotony of eating the same thing day in and day out. Different foods can also become playthings and some can present your bird with a challenge. Also with birds being flock animals, eating is a social activity. The bond between the bird and his flock (you, the owner) can often be enhanced by sharing bird safe foods.
Providing your bird with a healthy nutritious diet is one of the most important thing you can do to insure a long and healthy life. Birds, like humans, need a properly balanced diet. We advise a pelleted bird diet, which is much healthier than a standard, dried seed mix. A diet of dry seed will lead to health problems and will drastically shorten your bird's lifespan. In addition, birds tend to focus on their favorite varieties of seed, ignoring the rest. This makes it difficult to monitor what your bird is eating. Pellets are a more balanced diet in themselves, making it easy for the average bird owner to insure that their bird is getting all of the nutrients it needs. Each pellet is formulated with the same ingredients, so no matter what shape or color your bird eats, their diet will still be balanced.
