How To Get Your Bird To Eat A Healthier Diet

So if your bird isn’t a healthy eater, try giving him more exercise and see what he starts eating that will surprise you!

Remember:
  1. Feed the healthiest foods first when your bird is the hungriest.
  2. Stay organic as much as possible, even when it comes to the pellet you feed.
  3. Encourage mental and physical stimulation (trick training, puzzles, foraging toys and flight training)
  4. There’s more than one way to skin a cat; try serving the healthy stuff in a variety of ways from cooked to raw to shredded to baked into things and more.
  5. If you can, use your bird’s favorite food as treats. Our birds, believe it or not, respond better to blueberries as their reward than pine nuts!
Please do flight training outside with an expert only!  Click on link for more information on this.  Thank you.
