Check out this Small Macaw Feeding guide.
Keep your Macaw's diet as varied and interesting as possible. 60-80% of their diet needs to be complete or pelleted food, with the rest consisting of fruits, nuts, vegetables, seed, sprouting seed and other treats.
See the fun your Macaw could have retrieving food from a foraging toy or just place in a feeding dish for them to enjoy at mealtimes.

Tasty Treats for Your Macaw
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 Macaw?s food bowl, as many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water available.
