African grey parrots feeding on (diet/nutrition)


     Balanced nutrition and variety of African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) is the key to their growth with good results. Most health problems that can develop parrots come from a poor diet. Thus, a parrot African Grey diet should contain vitamins, proteins, lipids and minerals.
 
     Most people think that African grey parrot's diet should be composed only of seeds. The latest research recommends feeding Africans with seeds but only in proportion up to 15%, because such a diet is low in vitamin A, protein and calcium and too high in fat. The rest of the diet should be made of vegetables and plants: 35% pellets: 40%, fruit 10%.

    African grey parrots are prone to calcium deficiencies. To counter this problem give them calcium-rich foods: kale, spinach, tofu, etc. Try your ordinary small parrot with a balanced diet. African grey parrots are known for "freaks" and may be difficult to "convert" to a diverse diet. No bird ever hungry if you want to change your diet, it is dangerous for its metabolism. You must have patience and try tricks and nutrition changes can take several months.

     The bird cage will be, necessarily, to put a sepia-bone (which they can exercise claws and beak). Although long thought that African grey parrots must have at his disposal and sand and pebbles to inhale in order to promote digestion, recent studies show that they are not necessary, moreover, can frustrate even the parrot digestive system.
