Nutrient Calculator

The other day as I was browsing the net researching pellet brands I ran across a website that had a list of different bird foods that you could select. After selecting them all and hitting submit you were taken to a screen that listed the amount of protein, carbs and fats you're bird diet contained compared to the healthy amount that they should be eating.

The background for this site was blue. I'm having a hard time finding this site again, does anyone have a remote clue what I'm talking about?

Sorry, can't help you, I don't know of this website. But they couldn't possibly have posted the amount of protein in pellets because it's never stated in their nutritional labels.

Hi Enzo,

Here is the link to Rex's calculator: http://www.nosyntax.net/birdnutrit/sel_two_diets.php

If you're interested in parrot nutrition, why not join the FeedingFeathers Yahoo! Group (Rex and other very knowledgable people are members there), it's a great site where you can learn a LOT!
