As a result of this natural behaviour, most people opt to feed their parrots twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, with food as training aids and rewards in between.As well as this regular clean, it is a good idea to give all your bird tables and feeders a more thorough clean at various points in the year. Under Ian’s leadership, we achieved a number of industry firsts. For example, in the mid-70s, we became the first company to ship peas and canary seed in bulk containers from New Zealand and Australia.

As you can see, there is a long list of nutritious, fresh foods your parrot will love, and will keep him or her in tip-top condition. But there are also some foods that can poison your pet, so should never be fed. Foods to avoid include: If this still doesn’t work and your bird’s condition doesn’t improve, it is time to consult an avian vet. Hanging bird tables can also be more prone to predation, particularly from cats, which are prolific climbers of trees.Water is involved in practically all processes in a bird’s body, therefore it is essential to their survival. In fact, parrots should drink around 5 per cent of their body weight in water each day, to replace that lost through waste removal, respiration and evaporation.

But with the plethora of sizes, shapes, materials, and price points on the market, choosing a bird feeding table that is right for your outdoor space can be a challenge. If the latter are fine, then your feeding routine is likely to suit your pet. If not, you will have to make changes, such as increasing or decreasing the amount of food you offer, ensuring you’re feeding enough variety for the bird to get all essentially nutrients, perhaps even feeding at different times of day.Parrots are intelligent creatures and soon get bored if they are not entertained. Different foods with different colours, textures and tastes provide stimulation and enrichment for your pet when you are not able to engage with them. They can also be used to deliberately create engagement when giving treats or during training. Step one: Gather together the things you need, such as rubber gloves, a brush and cloth for cleaning, warm soapy water containing a bird-safe disinfectant, some clear water and a cloth. Well, the answer is yes. In the same way you can get complete dog and cat food, you can get complete parrot pellets too.

After dogs, cats and rabbits, indoor birds are the UK’s most popular pets. And out of these, parrots, in all their amazing varieties, are often the first choice for people wanting a colourful companion. Also, when it comes to size, it is wise to consider the area of the feeding platform. If it is too small for the number of birds visiting your garden, and it might become overcrowded leading to fights and seed spillage all over your manicured lawn.

But worry not! We’ve been making premium wild bird foods and British-made wooden bird tables for more years than we care to remember, so we’ve learned a thing or two in that time. In autumn, give your tables a general overhaul and, if necessary, apply appropriate, bird-friendly, non-toxic treatment. Deep clean them and make sure all screws, nuts and bolts are tight as we head towards the colder, wetter, windier time of the year. Watercress is also another super parrot food. It’s loaded with vitamin A and K, and birds love the stuff, so make sure you add it to your weekly shopping list! Vegetables Try also to ensure it is relatively sheltered, both from the sun and the from cold winds and rain, as this will make your garden visitors more comfortable as they feed.
