Bird Nutrition Is Important For Healthy Happy Parrots

Bird Nutrition Is Important For Healthy Happy Parrots. Bird Testimonial Confirms It.

Many parrot rescues are quickly coming to the realization that bird nutrition is important for the health of the birds. Staff and volunteers get the message after they see results from a surrendered or rescued parrot  from his first veterinary check-up. Dull colors in feathers, lethargy, obesity and more serious illnesses are just a few direct results of poor nutrition. The Santa Barbara Bird Sanctuary in California shows a peek into their daily bird feeding routine.

This short video reveals tips on healthy bird nutrition, using fresh ingredients and opting for organic produce whenever possible. great dedication to the more than 60 resident large  parrots that live at the SBBS. We normally would save a clip like this for Macaw Monday, but the testimonial at the end of the video speaks for all parrots:

As we have urged in other posts, please make sure to review a list of healthy and toxic produce before you feed fresh food to your parrots. If you are not using organic fruit, we recommend peeling fruits with inedible skins, like bananas or oranges. Wash all produce before sharing, because pesticide residue can be enough to make your bird buddy sick. Anything that may be subject to chemical pesticides might be a danger to your parrot.
