I have tried lots of bird’s food for my quaker bird.
He will eat your products but not bird’s seeds.
I have wasted a lot of money on buying bird’s seeds online.
Can I try him on good quality wild bird food
Hi,
It’s good that your bird will not eat the seeds you buy. Loose seed mixes offer almost no nutrition. Your bird will eat and eat trying to get satisfied and instead will be fat and malnourished. Even if a seed mix is fortified, the vitamins are lost when the bird removes the seed hulls. Wild bird seed should never be fed to a pet bird. Even “high quality” wild bird seed often consists of floor sweepings – a by product of manufacturing seeds.
As long as your bird is eating our diets, he is getting 100% nutritionally balanced foods. Whether you are offering our pellets or our foraging diets, all of our diets are nutritionally balanced as a complete diet and can be fed alone or combined. We do also recommend offering leafy greens, veggies, fruits, nuts & healthy table foods as 20% of the diet. If you feed our foraging diets, they do contain fresh, human grade seeds with the hulls removed. They are combined with other ingredients and all held together with a nutritious binder, which is absorbed by the seeds because the hulls have been removed.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
