Read About Choosing Parrot-Macaw Food

A pellet ⁄ seed cake is a good way to help introduce pellets to your bird´s diet if he´s only been eating seeds

Things to Consider:

  • Dietary Changes –If you´re thinking of changing your bird´s diet, you need to take him to the vet and first make sure he´s healthy. Dietary changes could cause just enough stress in a bird's system as to aggravate an existing condition.

  • Fruit – While fruits are a good addition to a parrot or macaw´s diet, some fruits, or parts of fruits, are toxic. For example, apple seeds contain cyanide and need to be removed from the apple before you feed the fruit to your pet.

  • Food Presentation – How your pet´s food may matter to your pet. If your parrot, or macaw, won´t eat fruit or veggies, by skewering some metal pole, the food may look for enticing to your bird.
