African Grey Food You Can Trust

The African Grey

If you have an african grey parrot, they are very special indeed! They are known for their intelligence, warmth, kindness to their owners, and their imitation of alarm noises, water drips, and other miscellaneous and pretty funny sounds.

What should I know about what my african grey eats?

A large part of african grey health is what they eat, simply enough, yet this is one of the things many pet owners are not proactive in enough. Food impacts your bird’s health in various ways.

African greys that are kept in domestic settings many times are given seeds and only seeds, but this is not the best for them. Wild greys expend much more energy than their domestic counterparts. This is something that must be kept in mind when we provide food for our friends because African greys can and do develop heart disease if only given all-seed diets.

What do I feed my african grey?

Someone who owns an african grey should definitely feed the full spectrum of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, spices, and other nutrients like vitamins and minerals.

What has been learned about our dear african greys dates back to science and research that is still comparatively young. Out of ignorance parrots were first fed an all seed diet and thought that as optimal. After the harm from an all seed diet became apparent, we over compensated by introducing super charged pellets. Now the results of a pellet only diet are starting to come to light.

The best approach is to step back and think, “what would we do with our own diets, based on the amount or exercise we get and what we naturally eat thanks to mother nature”. Taking a holistic approach for our parrots’ diet is better suited to provide our avian friends with the best life possible. It may be a daunting task at first, but that’s why Bird Street Bistro takes a different approach to parrot food. Bird Street Bistro goes back to the basics, going back to what mother nature has provided us. Pure. Simple. All-natural parrot food.
