Here is our Amazon Parrot Feeding Guide.

Dot Schwarz highlights the importance of enrichment for companion Parrots, explaining that while captivity protects birds from predators and provides consistent food, it can also create boredom and behavioural issues if the environment lacks stimulation. She emphasises offering a spacious, well?furnished cage or aviary, varied toys, ropes, swings and plenty of opportunities for foraging to mimic natural behaviours.

Dot encourages homemade enrichment using safe household or natural materials like cardboard, willow, fir cones and paper, which many Parrots enjoy as much as shop?bought toys. Regular out?of?cage time, climbing structures, foraging challenges and environmental variety help keep Parrots active, curious and emotionally healthy, reducing problems such as plucking, screaming and anxiety.

An Amazon Parrot?s diet need to be as mixed as you can make it. Use a pelleted or complete diet as the base, say 60-80% of their diet, and the remaining 20% of the diet needs to be fruits, nuts, seeds (including sprouting seeds) and other treats.

Pelleted and Complete Food

Lafeber

Lafeber NutriBerries can be used as a complete food or treat. Five tasty flavours are available, Original, Tropical, Sunny Orchard, El Paso and Garden Veggie. Their small shape makes them easy to hold in feet or beak and they have the 40 essential nutrients birds need.

Your Parrot

Your Parrot is available in a herbal or vegetable blend in a range of sizes.

Sprouting Seed / Soaking Seed

Packed full of nutrients, sprouting and soaking seed are loads of fun to prepare and very nutritious for your bird too. Dish up a scrumptious meal for your Parrot with sprouting seed. Simply soak it for two days, rinsing occasionally and then serve it up to your bird. It has a low fat content and high protein, vitamin, enzyme and mineral content.

Seed

Parrot Premium Professional has been developed to our exact requirements, with only the very best ingredients used, including rowan seed and berries.

Vegetables

Encourage your Amazon to enjoy dark green vegetable such as kale and broccoli. Orange coloured vegetables such as carrot is also highly nutritious. If you need something a little more convenient take a look at the Kaytee Bird Greens with Chia and Sweet Potato or the fruit, nut and veg mix.

Fruits

There are loads of different fruits for you to introduce to your Amazon Parrot. These are:

• Apple
• Banana chips
• Pineapple
• Figs
• Mango
• Coconut
• Papaya

Nuts

Parrots love finding nuts inside foraging toys or in a feeding dish, they make a great snack between meals. Some popular ones to try are cedar, macadamia and walnut.

Other Treats

Other beak-wateringly good treats your Parrot can enjoy tucking include...

Please Note: We would always advise buying the smallest bag/pack possible to trial your Parrot with.

It can take some time and persistence to introduce a new food. It may be worth having a second bowl of water next to you Amazon?s food bowl, as many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water available.
