Converting Your Bird to
a New Diet
Serve McLeod’s Parrot Cuisine, fresh
fruits and vegetables in the morning. Sprinkle a few
seeds on the mixture if encouragement is needed. Replace
the seed bowl with dry foods like bird pellets and non
sweetened cereals. Changing eating habits may take up
to 3 weeks! We recommend 2 fresh meals a day and removing
them prior to spoilage.

 Birds
prefer seeds which are high in fat!
Diets high in fat potentially cause obesity, liver problems,
feather plucking, impaired immune systems, nutritional
deficiencies, and a shortened life span.

Variety is the spice of
life!
Parrot’s diets should contain a variety of different
natural foods such as grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts
and other proteins, like lean meat and eggs. Birds should
receive one full bowl of these fresh foods twice a day!
