We all know birds eat seeds, but for pet birds leading a sedentary life, a diet of seeds will pack on the weight, to the detriment of their health! Bird food should be a mix of pellets, seeds, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Each species of bird has special dietary needs, and PETstock caters for them with a range of nutritionally complete pellets, designed by vets and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Brands on offer include Vetafarm Nutriblends and Passwell. There are also modified seed, fruit and vegetable bird food mixes designed for lorikeets, cockatiels, budgies, parrots. Brands include Harmony, Whistler, Golden Cob and Bird Zone. Mixed grit and a source of calcium, such as cuttlefish bone, should also be available for caged birds.
