DIET:
We feed Zupreem Fruit Blend pellets and Higgins Eggfood as the main diet for our birds, pets and
breeders. They also enjoy fresh organic fruits and veggies, along with homemade Birdie Bread.
They receive seed treats 1 to 2 times per month which consists of Sunshine’s Sunburst, as it has a good
mix of seeds and dried fruits & veggies and/or millet sprays.
The argument that birds in the wild eat seeds, nuts & berries, is true; however, birds in the wild fly an
average of 25 miles a day, where caged birds do not receive the same kind of exercise. I have seen birds
die from a burst liver due to feeding only a seed diet and some birds will not breed if too over weight.
Always keep a cuddle bone available for your bird, and fresh water. I prefer the cuddle bone, instead
of the calcium blocks, as it is all natural, with no man made products added.
Our breeders and babies are trained to use a water bottle. It provides fresh water with opportunity for
bacterial contamination.
