We read all the time, and are constantly adding new books to our library. Take the time to talk to many different people, especially a veterinarian familiar with avian care. Almost all of the birds have an initial checkup from our veterinarian within a few days of arriving. This protects the health of our other birds. They all go in at least once a year for an annual , unless of course they show any signs of health problems.
Fresh vegetables are an important part of the bird diet.
Favorites include corn, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, broccoli and carrots. They never eat fried or fatty foods. Fresh fruit includes bananas, apples, plums, peaches, grapes, cantaloupe and oranges. For some reason, everyone hates mangos. Healthful diets contain the amounts of essential nutrients and calories needed to prevent nutritional deficiencies and excesses.
