Avian veterinarians tell us that it is important that 80% of your parrots diet consists of a premium bird food pellet. The rest of your parrots diet, 20%, should consist of a healthy selection of cooked bird food or "people food." For your birds health, bird food should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, pasta, safe people food and nutritional cooked bird food diets. You'll notice brighter eyes, beautiful plumage and a disposition related to feeling healthy when you feed your bird well.
