Fruit and Vegetables
As well as the normal seed diet, a parrot needs variety in its daily food. Some of the following should be fed to your parrot on a daily basis preferably as its first meal of the day. The food should be removed at teatime and the dish thoroughly washed ready for the next day. It is also an excellent idea to vary the following so that the bird does not get bored with the same assortment.
