Parrot Food

In this article, when I say "bird (s)" or "parrot (s)" I will be referencing "True parrots." Parrots can be very picky eaters. All parrots eat seeds and just eat some fruit. Although it may seem strange, many parrots eat only fruit (s) to go to seed (s).

Many seeds are often consumed by parrots have certain toxins in their tanks to protect the seeds. Prior to intake, a parrot may vary careful to remove all seeds, coatings which have a chemical mixture that could make them seriously ill. Some fruits, when eaten by parrots, to get to the seed is only toxic if the fruit is fully ripe.

If a parrot does not get all the toxic seed coating off and takes the venom all is not lost. It is widely known that many parrot species around the world eat clay. Agreeing, avian experts is fallowing: (at) parrots eat clay to release minerals that absorb toxins out of the birds stomach. This process allows toxins to pass through without much damage parrot bird.

Almost all parrots are on a way to keep a seed with its' upper and lower jaws, while at the same time, lower mandible crushes the husk. Once a parrot has crushed seed must then be rotated to remove it. The seeds are then extracted from the shells and eaten. 

In the wild parrots an instinct let them know what and what not to eat. But as a parrot owner, you know what food to give, and which foods you should not allow your bird to keep it healthy and happy.
