Re: Messy!
Posted by petparrots on 10/31/08

We feed a mixture of healthy seed/ dried fruit/ pasta/ veggie and
offer pellets but not fond of only pellet diets. Pellets are not
natural to birds, and with a well balanced diet birds need bee
pollen,hemp seed bugs an grub mixtures and natural supplements
such as liquid kelp in water bottles, liquid sunshine drizzled
over foods to maintain healthy feathers and talons.Make sure birds
get proper full spectrum lighting and drenching showers to
maintain feather health and good preening habits. Humidifires are
used in dry months and always run a air cleaner, change filters on
furnaces frequently.
