Pomegranate juice in seeds

Mohitgaur088 · Sep 10, 2018

I mixed 100% natural pomegranate juice in shine's seeds and presented it to her! She ate a bit of it and then just after 10 minutes I removed it and put her dried diet again and she ate it to the fullest, I wanna ask if necessary guidelines are followed like removing the food with moisture in time then how useful such mixtures are?

Wellllllllllll... here's my regimen, and how I came to it.
Harrison's Bird Foods

I feed Harrison's, supplemented by fresh healthy treats. My first, and later, my current avian vet recommended it. My bird loves the pellets now, but to get him converted, my avian vet suggested putting pellets out all day, and putting seeds (his old diet) out for two 15-minute periods a day. That would sustain him but leave him hungry enough to try new stuff. I presume the same technique could be used to get him to eat other healthy stuff, like fruits and vegetables! My guy was eating pellets in a couple of days, and now I can feed a good variety of other stuff, knowing he has the pellets as a basic. Pellets are out all day... fresh treats a few times a day. I also like Harrison's via mail because I never have to worry about out-of-date products.

I've seen a few of your posts... you seem very motivated to care for your new cockatiel, and you're being confronted with a few challenges! I may have missed it if you mentioned your location. With all your concerns, I'd love to see you consult an avian vet. Here are some links.

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.

A great alternative to seeds, sprouting!! My cockatiels love it, just imagine adding water to the seeds, letting it germinate after a couple days (you rinse the water off of it and keep repeating rinsing and letting sit soaked) and then after 3 days the sprouts are fed to the birds and they gobble them up, even the sprout/plant part. So delicious and nutritious for them.

Here's the guide I followed.... Silversage Spouting for your Parrot

It's super easy and your bids will love it.
