Parrot Foraging

Welcome to loveyourparrot! This week the topic is about feeding your parrot fresh fruits and veggies. Parrots love foraging for food, searching for or picking through to find that special yummy something. Any pet parrot owner will tell you how messy parrots can be when they eat. Make it a positive experience!

Try taking a green pepper, scraping out the inside to make it hollow (be sure to make the hole big enough for your bird's head to go in and out of) and then place chopped or shredded carrots, celery, cucumber, sweet red or orange peppers, fruits, fresh or frozen green peas (thawed out of course and no canned veggies), corn, beans, and the list is endless so I'll stop here. Try this in all three colors of peppers to give a variety.

What is the end result? Enrichment for your bird and NUTRITIOUS meals. Did I mention a happy, vibrant bird as well. There is something about all that fresh food smell that makes me think of a jungle. It seems so natural, enjoy your time with your parrots. They are beautiful in every way if you allow them to be.
