From this evening! Getting down to the serious business of eating!

Don't anyone feel you have to comment unless you want to. I just enjoy sharing my babies with you!

Is that red palm oil on shinda's face?
Hehe


are they also on a seed diet?


Just curious; may be best to look into a pellet diet
;)

could cause some kidney issues in the long run

No it's where he'd just eaten some fresh orange!

They do have seed but also they have pulses (soaked overnight then cooked), sprouting seed, fresh fruit and veg, pine nuts as rewards.

Once they're a little older I'll be giving them chicken thighs with a little of the meat left on the bone.

The seed mix I buy (Parrot Premium) is a high quality seed mix which contains no peanuts, I don't/won't ever give them peanuts....

Parrot Premium
A complete food for African Greys, Amazons, Macaws and Cockatoos. Contains seeds, cereals, dried fruits & vegetables plus expanded pellets containing vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
The ingredients are White sunflower, Red millet, White millet, Paddy rice, Striped sunflower, Pumpkin, Melon, Red peppers, Raisins, Cedar nuts, Oats, Peeled oats, Buckwheat, Red dari, White Dari, Safflower, Carrot, Presco maize, Presco wheat and rolled peas.

I only buy from this supplier as he's highly recommended in the UK...

Parrot food seeds mixtures and diets

They definitely won't become seed junkies as I vary their diet too much for that to happen

They don't have access to their seed all day, they are given fresh fruit and veg, pulses, sprouting seeds etc at other times of the day.

I know how easily these birds become seed addicts but I'm making sure it won't happen to mine

Well he hasn't been winking so hopefully not! He just kind of buried his face in the segment!

Today I cooked them some fresh corn on the cob. Shinda had a fab time destroying his and chucking it about the carpet! I don't know if he actually ate any mind you!

Mojo was definitely eating hers though.

I (of course!) took lots of photos, I'll post a link to them rather than post the images here.

There are a couple of close-ups of Shinda's little feet, bless him!

Looks like your little guys are having no problems with perching! I love the cuddle times... and the nap times they are just so cute.
