I have an 25 year old Eclectus, and through the years have developed a diet that seems to work for him.
However, most of my research says to avoid protein. He gets a diet high in chopped veg and some fruits, but I also add some quinoa, chia seeds, and about a thumbnail of coconut oil maybe three times a week; and about the same amount of salmon or chicken on other days. He seems very healthy, with rare foot tapping incidents. I want to be certain I am not harming him! Would appreciate your comments.
