Birds in the wild eat a vast and seasonally changing array of foods. We recommend that a mixture of seed and pellets make up around 50% of your birds diet, with the other 50% composed of wet mix and fresh foods.
DO NOT FEED TO YOUR BIRD:
Avocado, chocolate, raw milk products, alcohol, rhubarb, greasy foods, sugary foods, salty foods. In addition, the pits of certain fruits contain toxins, so pull out seeds and pits when feeding your birds fresh fruits.
