Question

I FED MY BIRDS CARROTS A FEW TIMES. BUT WHAT ELC DO THEY EAT? THERE PARAKEETS.

Answer 1

Here is a short list of some fruits, veggies, and other foods to introduce gradually: broccoli, spinach, kale, chard, peas, string beans, corn, carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, squash, peppers, tomatos, cellery, hard-boiled or scrambled eggs (with no seasoning), apples, pears, bananas, grapes, mangos, papayas, cherries, apricots, kiwi, melons, pineapple, pasta (in small quantities), nuts (unsalted only), and peanuts (should be unsalted but not raw in the shells, since the shells may contain a fungus toxic to parrots).

Avoid feeding your parrot chocolate, apple seeds, avarcardo, onions, mushrooms, Tomato Leaves, anything with salt in, rhubarb, cabbage, lemons, to name a few, hope that helps

Answer 2

I can state that youngsters reared on at least a partial pellet diet seem to grow faster and feather better than those on a straight grain diet. This may be because of the protein differences.

If you are feeding your birds on mixed grain mixes, you must also provide grit for them. This grit is a mixture of oyster shell, minerals, salts, stones and charcoal which they used to process their food.
These .......... pellets are made with grain as well as with fish or other animal meals. These additional ingredients provide necessary B vitamins to the birds.

As for feeding the bird, you can do it the hard way - popping individual peas/corn/wheat down its throat and then squirting some water in with an eyedropper or small squeeze bottle. If you choose this method, you will also need to add a few pinch of grit - tiny granite or other hard stone about the size of a half of a wheat grain -- or you can go the "three second" feeding method. I usually choose the latter.

However, until the birds get used to the pellets, which are not shaped anything like a natural food, they may not eat them very well.

so thn If you are feeding your birds with fruits try mixing grain mixes,This grit is a good mixture of oyster shell, minerals,salts
( Take about a pound of the seed and add a drop or two of vegetable oil to it and then add about a teaspoon full of the chicken grow mash. Let it dry and use that to feed the baby. He'll grow like a weed. Birds also heal fairly quickly so he should recover with no problems.)

Most manufacturers of pellets suggest that you do not feed grit with pellets since everything is included...cheers!

Answer 3

You should feed all birds fruits and vegetables. Birds especially need vitamin A. There are some of these that are poisen to birds.

Apples, but NO seeds, any fruit that has a pit, remove the pit, no avocados, No lettuce(not enough food value), only cooked sweet potatoes. Birds don't need vitamin C but i feed mine lemons, oranges and limes sometimes.

Broccoli, corn, dark green leafy stuff, squash, peppers seeds and all, pomgrantes, cactus seed pods-can't think of their name, carrots, a bit of boiled egg occasionally, string beans, beans. I have bigger birds and when I am in a hurry I lightly heat some frozen mixed veggies. Don't go heavy on those things higher in protein.

Go on line and find out what is out there. There are tons of articles on the care and feeding of parakeets.
