Do You Know: What Do Birds Like Eating?

Here we came to our favorite topic: some people are great glutton that is why they try to please birds. The main parrot food is millet. It is sold in every “bird” shop. There should always be enough millet into the bird cage, birds know themselves how much to eat. They also enjoy oats very much but only oats (unpeeled, absolutely natural) which people hardly get anywhere in shops. It is found only as an addition in combined foods. As a compromise variant oat kernels can be given.

They also enjoy sunflower seeds, but not baked of course. Give sunflower seeds to your bird only several times per month because it contains lots of fats and the bird get stout. Before giving it to the bird it is good to crash it slightly (thus they will consume it easily). They absolutely adore fresh vegetables! They die for cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, peppers and pepper seeds (they should not be hot!). They also eat cabbage. Be careful with nitrates! They are particularly harmful for birds as they can even kill them. If it is possible prevent buying foods cultivated in green – houses.

Other " green food” that they like very much is ordinary fresh and tender grass. Like, rye grass, clover especially couch – grass or something likes, but not that grass! Give them fresh fruit at any possibility apples (they like cores because of the seeds), pears, plums and also pumpkin. All fruit and vegetables should be well washed. 
Give them hard – boiled egg (a quarter of egg per two birds) at least once a month. From it they supply themselves with proteins and vitamin D. 

Do not throw the shell away. Give it to them finely crushed. It provides them with calcium.  Another resource of calcium is chalk. Birds gnaw it with appetite so be sure always to provide chalk in the cage. Birds like eating bread. It doesn't matter what kind it is. Put a piece of slightly damped bread between the bars and they will tackle it so that your appetite will come back to you. 

There should always be sand in the bird cage. They need the sand in order to assimilate food easier. Food does not go to the bird's stomach directly. Before that it stays for some time into its throat. There due to enzymes and the sand all grain foods taken get broken to pieces, get soft and get digested preliminary. The sand should be fine, that is why you must sift it well, because they can block the bird's throat. It is compulsory to wash the sand, to boil it for a sort time in hot water, to dry it and only then to give it to the birds.

Also don't forget to visit Petshop18.com for all kind of bird food and treatsbird accessoriesbird toysbird cages and playpens, and bird supplements.
