Parrot feeding
Always keep in your mind that your lovely Parrot need it's proper feeding. Don't turn it's appetite into your type. This means don't give them your chocolate chips. Follow these basic rules and you can modify it later :








  • Give your parrot fruit, vegetables, cooked meats and grains in a balance amount.

  • Don't give to much food in single dose to avoid litter. Try small amount first, then increase it gradually if needed. When it reached it's exact portion i.e. your parrot eats all in single day, remember this portion size.

  • Give a variety of small servings of different foods, not a lot of one food.

  • Give your parrot always fresh food, don't let bacteria and mold left in the cage and make your parrot sick.

  • Always served fresh water daily.

  • Seeds and nuts are good choice of feed since these foods have few nutrients for parrots.

  • Don't let your parrot eats chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, kidney beans, lima beans and avocados. These foods are dangerous for parrots.

Birds Feeder on Your Backyards






A little more money will buy you a feeder. These come in a variety of sizes and may have individual feeding ports or consist of open wire mesh throughout. What should you fill them with? Seeds mainly. Some companies sell 'feeder seed' which is a mixture of different types. Black sunflower seed is oily and nutritious. However, smaller birds cannot crack open the husks which are inedible and generate mess. An alternative is sunflower hearts: just the delicious seed, no casing. This seed is smaller and eaten by a wider selection of birds. Into the bargain, there are no leftover husks. Sunflower hearts cost more but are so popular with birds that, for example, tits stockpile them by flying off and burying more than they eat. Mail order companies publish lavish catalogues that contain excellent guidance on choice of seed for garden birds. 'Wildbird' food sold in supermarkets may actually be poor value for money and contain a high proportion of large grain that is best suited to wildfowl.
