Birds love to eat, and your bird is accustomed to eating
a variety of foods. Although your bird likes these different
foods it is important to keep it on a maintenance diet.
You
can even use their favorite foods as rewards when teaching
them new things.
Roudybush
Maintenance Pellet is the staple of your bird's diet. There
are different sizes of this pellet available for different
sized birds. The size pellet your bird came home with is
the proper size it should be eating. Roudybush Maintenance
Pellets should be 85% of your bird's total diet.
The
remaining 15% of your bird's diet should include fruits,
vegetables, seeds, and treats. Some prepared food brands
combine fruits and vegetables within their products. There
are some mixes that requiring cooking before serving to
your bird. When prepared ahead of time and frozen, this
can be a great substitute when fresh vegetables are not
available.
You
can also feed a basic seed mix but only in moderation. Seeds
to birds are like junk food to humans. They both have little
nutritional value and tend to be high in fat. We recommend
that no more than 2 to 4 tablespoons of a basic seed mix
is offered in one day.
While
there are so many types of food to feed your bird there
are some particular items that are harmful to them. They
include chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, avocado, and foods
high in fat such as French fries.

your bird stay happy and healthy, some of the brands we
