Reply #20: I feed mine special diet for parrots. [View All]

[LisaL]

I have always knew that seeds might not be the best food for them-it's fattening.
And what do you mean you feed your bird cereal? Human cereal? Why? There are many companies that make complete diets for the birds (The food is in the form of pellets). As I understand it, it is also very dangerous to adopt "you can eat or you can starve" attitude when it comes to your bird. Birds have high metabolism so yea, they can starve in a short time if they don't eat.
But rest assured, there are many questions and concerns as to what should be or shouldn't be in their special diet.
Nothing is simple.
