ok thank you , as regards the seeds , it is better to mix his evening with organic seeds or versele laga mix for parrots ? must also give you daily cooked cereals and legumes such as brown rice, pasta, quinoa ? thank you

If I am understanding you correctly you should not need to feed seed anymore if you are giving some sprouted seeds with cooked vegetables, brown rice, quinoa, pasta, fruit and a pelleted diet each day. Your Rose Breasted Cockatoo will always choose seed first and this is the least nutritious for him.

if I understand correctly, the ideal diet is sprouted seeds , pellets , fruits and vegetables and grains cooked ? I must not give dry seeds ? I have to give cooked food ?

 

[plumsmum2005]

Dry seeds do not give much nutritional value but you can sprout what you have.

This may help you?

ok thank you , and if I give granules, sprouts , fruits and vegetables , it is also interesting to give cooked cereals and legumes ?

 

[plumsmum2005]

Yes that's it.

You can also offer a little well cooked chicken/white fish, 20 minute hard boiled egg, low/no fat cheese, low fat plain yoghurt a few times per week also.

Be careful of the amount you are feeding (do not over feed) and ensure that there is plenty of opportunity for exercise (flying) as this is the best way to ensure a healthy bird.

ok thank you very much for pellets and I hesitate between Tropican harrison . Is Harrison 's much better than Tropican or it's a bit like meadows ?

 

[juoo]

sorry for the French and English translation . Tropican is quality ? or harrison is much better?

 

[plumsmum2005]

Sorry I have not used Hagan Tropican. If you can use an organic, no added colours pellet.

I use this for Plum Totally Organics Crumbled Pellets TOPS Bird Food as well as Harrisons. He prefers tiny pellets but still grinds it down to a fine powder.
