What we feed our birds

All our baby birds are weaned on to Zupreem Fruit-blend pellets. In addition to the pellets we try to mix up the diet from day to day to give our birds a good variety of foods. The following are a list of foods we feed:

• Mixed Vegetables (green beans, corn, carrots, peas, broccoli)
• Butternut squash (cooked and mashed)
• Beans (15 bean variety bag cooked and mixed with mashed sweet potatoes)
• Asparagus
• Cooked Rice (no salt, no butter) usually mixed with squash or sweet potato
• Cooked Pasta (no salt, no butter) elbow macaroni, spaghetti. (Comical to watch them eat spaghetti)
• Corn (corn is the favorite in the Aviary so we mix the boiled eggs with the corn to make sure they are eating them)
• Boiled eggs (chopped) without shell
• Jalapeno Peppers (usually mixed with veggies)
• Potato Bread toasted (thin layer of peanut butter)
• Raw Virginia Jumbo Peanuts (in moderation only - used as a treat)
• Diamond mixed nuts with shell (Walnut, Brazil Nuts, Almonds, Hazelnuts) (in moderation only - used as a treat)
• Primate Biscuits (we give these when babies first hatch out to help the parents with initial feedings) soaked in warm water and then given. We offer it once a day in the morning because we dont want the parents to feed only that because of nutritional content
• Fruits we feed:
  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Bananas
  • Kiwi
  • Grapes
  • Watermelon
  • Honeydew Melon
