A: Well a lot depends on breed and age of your bird. But for the most part a good natural blend of seed and pellets is the best. Here at Whidbey Birds we use only all natural seeds this has not pesticides in it so you will get seed moths if you do not keep your seed in the frig or freezer. But that is not a big deal and is so much better for your birds.
Then a good diet of fruits and veggies every day. If you cannot do fresh do not fret. Even using frozen veggies blends is good just make sure that they are totally unfrozen.
Please remember to check our FAQ area on what are the dos and do nots on feeding fruits and veggies not all fruits and veggies are okay.
Also check our bird recipe areas frequently for updated goodies you can cook and share with your babies.
Meat is not horrible to feed to a bird. In fact, it is good in the wild these birds get worms and other proteins just never feed raw meets and not a huge amount.
I do not believe in supplementing my birds in their water. Birds urinate a lot and the water based vitamins just flush thru their systems. I try to use all natural means of supplementing in using fresh veggies and fruits also use eggs in many of my recipes.
