Both can eat dark, leafy greens. Vegetables such as squash, peppers, peas, carrots and corn can also be offered. Cooked is fine, raw is healthier. Fruits should be offered sparingly to both species to prevent loose droppings. Apples, pears, banana, mango, grapes and peaches are all acceptable. Be sure to remove pits or seeds.

Harrison's Bird Diet is the best food out there. It is pelleted so there can be some resistance from your bird transitioning to the new diet if he has been on a seed diet, but it is nutritionally complete and very high quality. Toys I find that lovebirds like have been cotton rope toys that they can preen and groom like the feathers of another bird.

Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Vitamin A is found in good concentration with foods like mangos, carrots, papaya and other orange-colored fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy greens also have high concentrations of Vitamin A. All of these are good additions to your parrot's diet. The sugary fruits will often be the favorites, so try not to feed too much of these. They will fill up on these and not eat the other nutritious, yet less appealing, foods that are available. You can start adding these to the diet anytime now. I did not know much about Dr. Harvey's bird food, so I had to do a little research. The first place I visited was the website and I came away with some issues about this food. The first thing I noticed was that the food was heavy with nuts and seeds. These foods are dense with fats that can be unhealthy for a bird to eat as their sole diet. I read the bio page and it claims that Dr. Harvey is a nutritionist with over 30 years of research in the product. However, none of the research is available on the website and Dr. Harvey's credentials are not given. On further research I found out that Dr. Harvey is a chiropractor. I have not seen any of his nutrition credentials yet (nutritionist usually refers to someone with a PhD in nutrition). I understand your desire to feed natural foods, but I'm not convinced the Dr. Harvey's food mimics a natural diet. In fact, I seriously doubt it does, or the supportive research would be proudly placed on the website. Zupreme is a diet that I often recommend to clients, because it is actually based on research into the nutritional requirements of birds. It is also labeled as "natural" and the ingredients list does not show any ingredients that I would consider unnatural. I recommend feeding the Zupreme again as the majority of her diet. This will ensure the necessary nutrients are available (including vitamin A) and will help to keep Morrow healthy. You can also give fruits and vegetables as treats; or as a meal at certain times of the day (i.e. making a salad for dinner). The Dr. Harvey's food can also be given as treats, but it should not be anymore than 10% of the diet. I hope that helps and Morrow gets better soon.

Birds require calcium for more than just egg laying. It strengthens bones, aids in enyzme and hormone function, muscle development, nerve transmission and certain metabolic processes among other biological functions. A cuttlebone or mineral block should always be available. Limit dehydrated fruits that can be high in sugar. Fresh fruits, vegetables and greens would be preferred. They should make up no more than 25% of the diet. Pellets should make up the majority of her diet at 75%. Fresh foods can make up the remaining 25%. Generally, anything good for you is good for her except for chocolate, caffeine, alcohol and avocado.
