Parrots can easily get sick if fed spoiled or contaminated food. Usually, parrot food must be kept in a dry cool place, preferably inside an air-tight container to preserve freshness and taste. You should make sure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight as well. Moreover, you should never mix old food with new food.   You should only store smaller amounts of food during the warm weather periods, as they can quickly get spoiled in hot weather. During colder periods, it is possible to store more parrot food because it will be preserved better. However, if you notice the food is moldy, rotten, or smells weird, you need to get rid of it since it could harm your pet.  If you plan to feed your bird raw meat, you need to keep this type of food away from any other foods. It needs to be stored separately. Some types of food are better preserved inside the fridge until serving time (including fresh fruits and veggies).
