Food Tabele - discussion

[h4l1.png]

Hello team, I present to you my table for feeding my GCC. What do you think about this, is this optimal? I put in the table what my parrot likes the most. I avoided or rarely gave fruits with sugar, which are bananas and apples, my focus is on carrots and peas. Otherwise, I buy frozen vegetables

Hi
@mizzley and @Pixiebeak are brilliant at diets

I offer veggies everyday unless I am at work 2days a week 7/7 then they get freeze dry veggies or fruit in their foraging toys

do you sprout seeds ? They are a brilliant to add to diet

I didn't really understand the part about germinating the seeds. Can you further explain the process, which seeds are involved?

I'm afraid that there is no sugar and salt in this frozen vegetable because I noticed a small amount of it on some packages. I will leave a photo for you to look at

The discussion is open, so I will add your recommendations to the table

I just soak seeds/sprouting mix in a glass for 6hours then rinse then rinse them about 3times a day and start serving when they start to get tails they are a massive hit

Conure as graivores so why don't you ever feed it grain?

I threw out the cereal all the way, I put in the pellets because they literally have everything in them. They are specially enriched with minerals that parrots need and I honestly noticed that moulting progressed - the feathers grew very quickly and I noticed that her energy increased a little

Where can I find and what are the seeds. I searched on the internet and saw that they are some special seeds, but we in Bosnia don't really have the possibility to get them because of delivery

I would increase the diversity of veggies like bell pepper, sweet potato, squashes carrots and more ,and leafy greens like Swiss chard, bok choy, romaine lettuce, and some( go light on fruit about 10% of diet) fruits/berries like blueberries, mango, blackberries, fresh cherry no pit.
I myself would and do offer fresh stuff every single day and try to include about six different types . At the end of the day I give some seedmix

diets are something we all are always researching and reading up and talking about, and trying to wade through different information to try and decide what's best .

If you are not aware , some pellet formulas do not meet a molting birds needs , they are considered maintenance and need to be switched to a high potency version during molt .

I also feed pellets, but I agree that adding more diversity to the veggies, and giving them daily if at all possible, is ideal.

Sprouts are definitely one of my birds' favorites! You do not be special seeds. If you have access to plain bird seed, you can usually sprout that

Dark leafy greens, root vegetables, grains, peppers, berries, and more!

This thread may give you some ideas!

Pictures - What are your birds eating today?

Just a thread to share their food bowls because I know several of us like to post them! Today's bowl: cranberry and pistachio oatmeal, frozen mixed veggies, blueberry pancake and a bit of scrambled egg :) What's in your bowl?

Nisam baš razumio dio o klijanju sjemena. Možete li dodatno objasniti proces, koje sjemenke su uključene?

Bojim se da u ovom smrznutom povrću nema šećera i soli jer sam ih malo primijetila na nekim pakiranjima. Ostavit ću vam fotografiju da je pogledate

Can you refer to this composition of mixed vegetables? What do you think about this?

I can't read the label Some sodium is naturally occuring in vegetables. You'll need to check the ingredients included to see if it is added or not.

No natural seed just processed seed...
Poor bird

Let's not shame people for different diet choices, especially when they are coming here for advice. We all have different ways of feeding, and pellets are one of those valid ways. Just because you may chose to feed a different way doesn't make pellets the "wrong" way.

Sorry but im not shaming anyone, far from it
I just feel sad for that bird
