Pakkoo is a grey. She is pure vegetarian. She doesn’t show any interest in eating fresh fruits or nuts. Her favorite food is red chilies and cooked rice. I never tried feeding her meat.

But now I’m thinking of changing her diet because most of the pet owners said that she will need more protein than what she intakes now. Any suggestions?

My 2 green-cheeked conures' favourite food is apple. They really like gala apples. They also like pears. I'm having a hard time feeding them veggies though. Any suggestions? :gcc:

silverbeat seems to be a favorite, but you can chop the little green bits off broccoli and mix it in with a food they like, they may pick it out but they will end up eating some. Jango likes peas too

With peas should they be fresh or frozen or canned? Probably fresh right? I will see if they like that. Thanks for the help! :gcc:

As far as fruit goes, I'd say Clyde's favorites are bananas, apples, and grapes.
For veggies, he likes carrots and bell peppers.
Everything else: nuts, cheese, eggs, and pasta.

POMEGRANATE?!?

Geez, whenever I try to eat it I usually make a huge mess. Just imagine their perfect feathers being eternally stained red xD
