Toys for birds are designed in lots of combinations of woods, leathers, ropes, chains, bells and even acrylics. Toys such as swings and ladders are designed for chewing and climbing, while stainless steel mirrors are for viewing and comfort. Back to Top Foods and Feeding Most birds eat seed as a major portion of their diet. All seeds contain protein and are roughly divided into either a cereal type seed such as millet, or an oil type seed such as sunflower seed. To provide a balanced diet, minerals, amino acid, vitamins and trace elements can be added as a supplement to seed or water.
Pelleted diets are available and contain all the necessary ingredients.
Many parrots will eat what you eat. Be sure anything you offer is not toxic to your bird. Seed eating birds need grit , small stones in their crop, which grind the seed so they can digest it. Cuttlebone and calcium blocks provide necessary minerals for maintaining your birds health. Finely ground shells and other natural minerals can be added to regular grit.
