Like you, we always want to make sure your Parrot?s favourite food is in stock and ready for them to enjoy. However, occasionally supplies can run low or even run out entirely.

What a nightmare! Especially if your feathered friend is only ever fed the same food day in, day out, and the next time you try to order it isn?t available.

That is why we recommend you work with your Parrot so they will readily accept two or more brands of the main foods that they eat and ensure you keep at least two brands of your Parrot?s favourite food available at any given time.

Recommendations

Here are recommendations from two reputable Avian Vets:

Avian vet Aidan Rafferty of Ashleigh Veterinary Centre agrees ?It is a good idea as it?s not uncommon if their normal brand is unavailable that they will not eat an alternative.?

This way, you can be sure your Parrot will always have a nutritious meal, even if another one isn?t available or you run out of one of the brands.

Your chosen food brands do not have to be anything vastly different from one another; for example, if you feed Harrison?s pellets as your bird?s main diet, you could introduce TOP?s pellets. Both foods are Organic.

When speaking with Avian vet Sheryl Calway of Oakmount Veterinary Centre she also agreed that ?This is a good idea. In addition to any commercial diet, I also recommend lots of safe human food, fruit, veg etc. Plus, I advise having the bird/s eat with the human family at the table, as they would flock feed naturally.?

Complete Parrot Food

Your Parrots diet should be as varied as possible, here at northern Parrots we suggest using a complete or pelleted food as a base diet, approximately 60-80% of their daily intake, with the remainder of the diet comprising of vegetables, sprouting seeds, fruits, nuts, seeds plus other treats.

Lafeber

Your Parrot
