Feeding Recommendations
Feed Black Parrot Breed & Grow 18% ad lib. as the sole diet, along with Black Parrot Chews 17% or as a supplement to a grain or fruit based diet.
Birds that have been raised exclusively on seed based diets may take a while to become accustomed to the different appearance and texture of pellets. The best way to introduce pellets is to add them to the usual diet and slowly increase the pelleted portion while restricting the amount of their usual food. This may take two to four weeks or even longer for older birds. As with all diets, it is extremely important fresh water is available at all times.
