What do birds like eating? Here we came to my favorite topic : I’m a great glutton that is why I try to please my birds .
The main parrot food is millet. It is sold in every ”bird” shop . There ought to always be sufficient millet into the bird cage , birds know themselves how much to eat . They also take pleasure in oats greatly but only oats ( unpeeled , completely natural ) which I have not seen anywhere in shops : – ((. It’s found only as an addition in combined food . As a compromise variant, oat kernels could be given .
They also enjoy sunflower seeds , although not baked obviously Give sunflower seeds to your bird only a number of times per month because it contains plenty of fats and the bird gets stout. Prior to giving it to the bird, it’s good to crash it slightly (thus they will eat it easily) .
They completely adore fresh vegetables! They die for cucumbers , lettuce, carrots, peppers and pepper seeds ( they shouldn’t be hot !). They also eat cabbage . Be cautious with nitrates ! They are particularly harmful for birds as they can even kill them. If it’s possible prevent purchasing food cultivated in green – houses.
Other ” green food ” which they like very much is ordinary fresh and tender grass . I mean ryegrass , clover particularly couch – grass or something likes , although not that grass ! Something that you ought to never give them is parsley ! I don’t know why , but it is written so in the books and I have not made experiments what’s going to happen to them if I feed birds with parsley .
Give them fresh fruit at any possibility apples (They like cores because of the seeds ), pears , plums and also pumpkin. I haven’t noticed them to like citrus fruit .
All fruit and vegetables ought to be well washed .
Give them hard – boiled egg ( a quarter of egg per two birds ) a minimum of once a month. From it, they supply themselves with proteins and vitamin D.
Do not throw the shell away ! Give it to them finely crushed . It provides them with calcium .
Another resource of calcium is chalk . Birds gnaw it with appetite so be sure always to provide chalk in the cage .
Birds like eating bread. It doesn’t matter what kind it is . Put a piece of somewhat damped bread between the bars and they’ll tackle it so that your appetite will come back to you.
There should always be sand in the bird cage ( that is why I told you in the beginning that you ought to purchase two vessels for food ). They need the sand in order to assimilate food easier. Food doesn’t go to the bird’s stomach directly. Prior to that, it stays for some time into its throat. There due to enzymes and the sand all grain foods taken get broken to pieces, get soft and get digested preliminary . The sand should be fine , that is why you must sift it well and to remove the coarse fractions , simply because they can block the bird’s throat . It’s mandatory to wash the sand , to boil it for a short time in hot water, to dry it and only then to give it to the birds . Sea – sand is very appropriate , however it must be well – washed from salt !!! Salt isn’t very useful for birds .
