Tasty Treats for Meyers And Senegals
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 Meyer?s or Senegal?s food bowl, as many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water available.
