Here is our Eclectus Parrot Feeding Guide.

As much as possible, keep your Eclectus Parrot?s diet varied. 60-80% of their diet needs to be pellets or complete food, and the remainder consisting of fruits, vegetables, sprouting seed, seed, nuts and other treats.

Eclectus Parrots (especially females) can easily become overweight when fed on a diet containing mainly seed. Fruits and vegetables are usually relished.

Hiding food in foraging toysis a good way of providing your Eclectus with mental stimulation, or you can just place it in their feeding dish.

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 Parrotis available in a herbal or vegetable blend in a range of sizes.

Sprouting Seed / Soaking Seed

Use these to give your Eclectus even more of the nutrients they need. Eclectus Parrots have a particular need for Vitamin A.

Simply soak the seeds for a couple of days, rinsing occasionally, and soon you?ll have seeds full of the goodness nature intended.

Seed

Should only be a small part of an Eclectus Parrot?s diet as many seeds have a high fat content.

Johnston and Jeff Lean & Fit Parrot Food has no sunflowers or peanuts. It has 24 nutritious ingredients Eclectus Parrots like to eat.

Vegetables

Eclectus Parrots have a high requirement for vitamin A. You should support your bird?s overall wellbeing by regularly offering foods such as raw or par-boiled carrot, cooked orange sweet potato, sweet red pepper and vegetable with dark green leaves such as kale, broccoli and dandelion leaves.

Fruits

Another nutritious food stuff for your Eclectus Parrot is fruits. There are loads to choose from?

Banana
Berries
Coconut
Papaya
Figs
Apple
Cranberry
Pineapple
Mango

Nuts

Again, these should make up only a small portion of your Eclectus Parrot?s diet. Parrots like the different varieties though, which include?

Palm nuts
Cedar nuts
Macadamia nuts
Walnuts
Cashew kernels

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 your Eclectus Parrot's food bowl, as many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water available.
