Birds need a variety of foods to maintain good health. An
all seed OR all pellet diet is an very bad idea. In the wild
they would eat lots of fresh fruits and berries and whatever
seeds they could find. In captivity they should be offered
fresh fruits and veggies, as well as seed and pellets to make
sure that they have a well rounded diet. Pasta with no sauce
can be fed in moderation. Many birds enjoy cooked chicken
and even beef. Avoid fish due to the high levels of
mercury. As I said, a diet consisting of just seed, or just
pellet is not healthy. -Alison-
