What do you feed your conure?

[MarshallSpears]

I want to give my conure the best nutrition possible. I'd love to hear what you feed yours or some recipes. Mine doesn't like bell peppers! I've been trying strawberries, raspberries, peas and green beans.

In my opinion the best available pellets are Harrison's and Totally Organics.

CHop mixes are a great way to get different food into your birds diet, I gave a bag of chop mix to my friends picky Jendays and they loved it.

I feed Ruby apples, banana, cooked potato, veggies (but she hates them -.-) water melon, cantaloupe, blue berries, seeds, and pellets. Hope that helped

I bought some roudybush recently to try to get Oliver off of the dyed Zupreem pellets but he doesn't like them. I'm going to try Harrison's next time, or even look into other options.

I pretty much feed whatever fruit is in season that we have. Most often its apples and bananas as a year long staple. He looooves berries. Blue berries, raspberries, black berries, you name it. I try to feed him veges but he prefers fruit. He's okay with carrots and I know some birds like broccoli.

Thanks!!! That's a ton of help! Me and Apollo are sitting outside getting some Vitamin D today! His wings are clipped and he is staying right on my shoulder

Hey! My Lukah gets as many roudybush pellets as he wants each day (I get him the medium size).

I also make him a chop mix. The one he is eating this week is a mix of kale, apple, raspberries, broccoli, jalapeno and carrot and he's crazy about it! I put it all into a food processor and blend it up to little bite size pieces an then freeze it in ice cube trays and give him one cube, defrosted for 20 seconds in the microwave each day. I am going to make him another mix with lentils, garbanzo beans, mung beans, split peas and quinoa pasta (pasta made half of regular corn stuff and half quinoa all organic). Ill mix them all together and then freeze them (after cooking all of them) in another ice cube tray.

I give him fresh fruit and veggies every now and then such as fresh spinach clipped to the bars of his cage or fresh apple slices, banana, blueberries and melon pieces. He's especially fond of apples and bananas!

From time to time I will also give him an egg that I've cracked into a small dish and heated up in the microwave with a paper towel over it for a minute or a hard boiled egg.

I also suggest melons such as cantaloupes!

This is a picture of Lukah's mash tray. I keep it in the freezer with tin foil over the top

Oh! And I also have a foraging toy inside his cage that is filled with almonds. He loves almonds and after looking up all the different nutritional values of the different nuts I felt like these would give me the most bang for my buck. He also gets millet when I'm training or if he's being especially quiet or nice!

Ya about the Zuupream, I'm thinking about changing because it is so sugary and has a lot of artificial products. :\

I feed a mixture of seed/ zuupream and fruits and veggies. He also loves Millet, and I mix Cheerios in with his food. He likes a variety.
