I don't add vitamins and minerals supplement to my parrot's food nor water. I feed her spirulina powder, barley grass powder and bee pollen on regular basis. They are nutrients packed.
The problem with natural food, they may not have all the minerals that a bird needs for optimum health. Plants get their minerals from the soil. Commercial farming depletes the soil of minerals.
Plants can manufacture vitamins not minerals. Therefore supplementation is necessary.
