Most people feed their pet parrots with seeds. Parrot seed has been their pet’s diet ever since and owners don’t see the need to make a change. What they are not aware of is that the years have taught experts to improve on bird diets. They have developed pellet foods that provide the bird with a balanced nutrition in an easy to serve format. These pellets are formulated as a healthy alternative to bird seeds.

Pellet diets contain the essential nutrients required by the bird in precise doses. They contain a healthy blend of grains, seeds, vegetables and fruits. Together with additional vitamins and minerals these are baked to ensure a complete and balanced nutrition. Their advantage over seed diets is that they are balanced. Birds tend to pick only their favorite seeds making them deficient in some important nutrients. Seeds also tend to be high in fat.
