Supplementary Feeds

Pet birds can be excellent companion animals and are a popular addition to families. Provided they are properly cared for and are provided with an interesting and spacious environment that includes regular adequate exercise (free flight within a safe enclosed environment), birds can live a very healthy, vigorous, and fit life.

Signs of illness can be subtle in birds and birds often display a ‘preservation instinct’ which means that they can sometimes appear healthy despite being very ill. Veterinary advice should always be sought immediately if you suspect that your bird is unwell or if your bird shows any sign of being unwell.

Feeding Tips

The types and variety of food that are offered to pet birds are usually very limited when compared to the diet of their wild counterparts so it is important to provide a balanced and varied diet in adequate amounts. The food should be offered in such a way as to mimic the feeding habits of the birds in the wild. Some species will gorge early morning and late afternoon whereas others will feed throughout the day.

Tips

Adequate Food

Provide an adequate supply of foods suitable for the species of bird.

Food should be fresh and clean, and stored in a way that prevents deterioration or spoilage.

Ensure fresh clean water is available at all times.

Placing a cuttlefish bone in your bird's cage will provide important trace minerals. Mixed grit and a source of calcium should be available for those bird species requiring it.

You should feed your bird a combination of both a high-quality commercial food and some natural foods. e.g. fresh fruit, vegetables, seeding grasses, native flowers, green foods etc that are appropriate and safe for the particular bird species.
