Find out more about Large Conure food.
Like all Parrots, your Large Conure’s diet should be as varied as possible. We suggest using a complete or pelleted food as a base diet, approximately 60% with the remainder of the diet comprising of vegetables, sprouting seeds, fruits, nuts, seeds plus other treats.

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 Conure’s food bowl, as many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water available.
