I'm currently trying to get my birds to eat fruit and veggies. And I just have some questions concerning their diet. I know so far they need the following in their diet:
Pellets
Veggies
Fruits
And other stuff like rice, etc.
Here are my questions:
1. Should a tiny bit of seed also be included in their diet daily, or should it even be given at all (and if so, how often)?
2. Is the food like rice and other stuff NEEDED in their diet? Of course, I'll try to deliver this food to them if I can whenever I can, but I don't want to constantly have to give it to them unless I have to. If it is needed, how often should I give it to them and how much?
3. I'm thinking of serving a nice, fresh bowl of fruit and veggies salad each day. How much of this should they get DAILY and what should be included in the salad?
4. How much pellets should be given daily?
5. What is the best time to serve each food item? For example, fruits and veggies at lunchtime and pellets in the evening, etc.
6. Any other tips or info you have concerning their diet?
My main concerns are the types of food, the amount needed daily of each food item, and the best time to serve each food. Any other information you have on a bird's diet would be greatly appreciated!
