Proper nutrition is of the most controversial topics among parrot owners. Beak n Wings recommends that all parrots be fed a diet that consists of 60% high quality pellets, 25% vegetables and fruits, 10% high quality seeds or nuts, 3% healthy table foods, and 2% treats. Always discuss dietary changes with your avian vet.
