What is the correct ratio of pellets, seed mix, fruits and veggies to feed my parrot?
Unfortunately, I can’t give any scientifically correct formulas or ratios of dietary ingredients. There just isn’t one. So much depends upon the age, health, activity and species of a bird. I can only offer suggestions (as per my web page at www.plannedparrothood.com/diet.html based upon my 30-year experience of feeding and breeding multiple species. A one-bird owner has much more flexibility in offering a bigger variety of foods than does a breeder. Native birds in the wild eat very simply and eat what’s available seasonally to them. My motto would be “Plain, Simple and Seasonal”.
