The store I go to feeds fresh foods, I see them in the bowls every time I go there. I've seen peas, apples, lettuce, and various other greens in the bowls there. Here's a comparison of a good versus bad petstore: there is one small independent petstore that I used to go to, but don't anymore because it doesn't care about the animals. The bad one keeps the poor birds in small cages and they never come out, they clip them anyway, and all the birds get are seeds, seeds, seeds. No fresh foods whatsoever. The birds have about two perches per cage, and maybe one or two toys. Once, I asked them how to convince birds to eat produce, but all they said was "we just feed them seeds here". When I asked to take a bird out, just to give it some interaction, they always said no. I never buy anything from this store anymore. The good petstore is also a small independent store, but MUCH better. The birds are taken out, are given fresh foods and pellets, and have multiple toys in their cages and natural wood branches.
