Hi folks, we are going to let you know a little bit about how we got here!

We have all been hand-raised which means that Mom has pulled us from the nest to be placed in the nursery at the age of two weeks old. She then feeds us the hand-feeding formula by spoon, one by one. The formula that she uses is called Zupreem Embrance Plus, Mom likes this formula as it’s one of the best on the market. We also have other goodies that she adds that are good for us in our growing stages, she likes to make sure we are all nice and healthy. The Healthy goodies are a mixture of Vitamins, Amino acids, Probiotics, Minerals, Prebiotics and Calcium that she buys at www.healthybird.net

Before leaving here we no longer need to be feed by spoon... We are all grown up now (fully weaned), here’s a list of what we like to eat. Our seed mixture is a small parrot seed mix that contains a mixture of seeds, (dehydrated Pineapple, papaya, carrot, raisins, corn), peanuts and pellets. We also like fresh vegetables (mostly cooked), cooked pasta, cooked beans, cooked brown rice, fresh fruits and a mash that Mom makes for us. Always make sure when serving food to your Feathered friend that it’s not to hot for them, allow for it to cool down first. We will post a recipe page so you will all know what Mash is! If one doesn’t have the time or does not find him or herself creative enough, you don’t have to worry as you can buy it premixed at www.healthybird.net 

Bellow are a few things you have to consider when having a Feathered Friend. Parrots are fragile and can be easily injured or killed if not well taken care of. So please make sure it’s the right pet for you and your family. Parrots are intended to live a long life if well taken care of.

If You have other pets it’s best to make sure that you have a safe place for your new feathered friend. As time goes by you will be able to know what the reaction with your other pets will be towards your new pet parrot.

When purchasing a cage always make sure that you have a bird safe cage, not something intended for decor only. Some decor cages don’t have a powder coated bird safe paint on them. Also having the right size cage and bar spacing, as some cages are not always good for your type of parrot.

Always feed your Feathered Friend a good quality food, clean bowl of fresh water and a clean cage daily.

Things that will harm (Kill) your Parrot:

Cleaning sprays and liquids (examples, Mr Clean, Bleach, Pine sol, Oven cleaners).

Paint fumes (when painting a room in your house always make sure your bird is safe and away from paint fumes.

Spoiled foods (always make sure the expired dates are good, never feed expired foods. Never leave fruit or veggies in the cage for to long as it spoils after a few hours. Also never mix wet goods with there seed mixture as it will spoil the seeds. If it’s not good for you then it’s certainly not good for your Feathered Friend.

When toys are present always make sure that when the toy especially rope toys get all fringed up or old and abused it’s time for new one’s. Birds can get tangled up and start to panic and can harm themselves. They rely on you to make sure there in a safe place!

 

Always make sure your Feathered friend is treated with respect and patience it’s one of the # one thing in having a parrot.
