Sammi question again ~~ what food would i keep in Sammis cage all the time??when i'm at work(quaker parrot)

Question

what kind of pellets do i get? what would he be really happy with ?? :)

Answer 1

Dried fruit works well. Even fresh fruit is fine, just be sure to empty it daily. Cooked rice, corn, beans and pastas; hard boiled eggs, Cheerios, plain popcorn and some seeds are also a good mix.

You don’t necessarily have to pay a premium price for pellets if you’re willing to do a little cooking and food prep!

Answer 2

Any type of pellets should be left in the cage 24/7 for your quaker. They should also get fresh food daily, pasta, veggies, beans, fruits but make sure they are taken out after an hour or two. Seeds are not good to have as a staple diet for quaker parrots as they are prone to fatty liver disease. Seeds are way too fatty and I've known several people who have lost their quakers to this disease. As for what kind of pellets to get it really depends on what your quaker will eat. You can email harrisons, roudibush, zupreem, and the others and they will usually send you samples to try, then you can go from there on what to buy for your quaker. I personally use zupreem for the most part but I will personally add it other types often so that if something would happen and I can't get zupreem they will eat something else that is on hand. Quakers are very finicky when it comes to changes. They have the natural pellets and then they have the fruity pellets, again this is a choice, some ppl say fruity pellets are linked to plucking in quakers but I've got 5 quakers and not one plucks so it's a personal choice. Anyway I hope this has helped ya some.

On another note to all of you with quakers on a seed diet please for the health of your quaker get them switched over to a pellet diet and just give them seeds a couple times a week in small amounts.
There is an excellent conversion method on the source website I have listed.

Answer 3

He should have pellets at all times and some seed. I use Zupreem fruit blend pellets and Roudybush maintenance mixed together. I mix two pellets because:

1) One manufacturer might go out of business someday and then you will have to introduce a new pellet to your bird and that can take awhile. If the other pellet is still available at least he is eating one type of pellet.

2) Avian nutrition is still not a definite science. I figure mixing two together might make up for any deficits the other has.

I feed my birds cooked foods, fruits and veggies in the evening when I am home from work.

Answer 4

Any type of pellet is good. My bird likes Harrison's and Roudybush the best! You can leave pellets, fresh vegetables, and cooked pasta/rice for your bird. I wouldn't leave seeds in there all day because birds should only get a small amount of seeds per day. Just keep trying different brands of pellets until you find one Sammi likes :)

Answer 5

I feed my quakers cockatiel seed and parrot seed. I also give them lots of millet. I feed them the parakeet FRUIT PELLETS and KAYTEE hand feeding formula in a dry bowl as treats. They also love apples

Answer 6

We use a good parakeet seed mix. Seed mixed for large parrots usually has sunflower seeds which are addictive. They have mixes with dried fruit and a variety of seed. They also like millet sprays but they're a treat not a meal.

Answer 7

Hare Krishna, cage is a logo of cloth physique parrot is a logo of soul analogy is so given for 2 reason.. "Why carry out a little parrots regard cage as parrots?" i did no longer get this component to query.. this circle of " leaving one cage and being caught in yet another cage" represents the circle of existence and demise.. while we die we take beginning lower back.. in a clean physique... subsequently parrot is caught in a clean cage... this cycle will end as quickly as we don't desire for this physique (beginning in this planet) lower back and act subsequently in this beginning (chant the Holy call and worship the final Lord ) that's suggested that as quickly as one bear in mind God take it sluggish of demise he is going to HIs homestead and would not might desire to take beginning lower back ( get away from this cage )

Answer 8

Tell Sammi hi from me and Pete. (My quaker)
We leave Pete with bird seed, fresh tube of water and whatever else I have handy. Like popcorn, lettuce, carrots, corn and he loves pasta!
Good luck!

Answer 9

my mom has a quaker and she keeps "zupreem" pellets in his cage and he asks for them " zu-preem" and mom fills his bowl
