Well, I just got my new 7 week old parrotlet. We're settled into a nice 18x18x36L cage with room to fly, a few toys, some millet, perches, and a cuttlebone. Fully weaned and hand raised. Very talkative for a female.
One thing I'm never sure of is feeding. What's the best food out there? What can I get at my pet store at a reasonable cost that will be healthy for my bird?
Being such a small bird, I was told and have researched keeping Birdie on a cockatiel diet. It's easy enough to find a seed mix. Make sure it has sunflower and safflower, hulled oats, millet. Is this enough?
Another food I was looking at is ZuPreem FruitBlend for small birds. Is this a good addition? Is this fine as a full diet?
Do I offer a seed mix, the fruit blend, and fresh fruits and veggies?
Do I offer just a seed mix and fresh foods?
Just the fruit blend and fresh foods?
Thanks for your help!
