我呢排成日去鬼佬論壇睇下人地點養凱克, 但我普遍見到都係話餵合成糧同水果蔬菜同小糧果仁, 我又無話信到十足, 但係, 聽下人地點講, 參考下又無妨既. 我諗, 餵牛奶白飯意粉瓜子做主糧既人係有, 但唔多囉, 起碼我無係鬼佬論壇見到.

I have discussed this already in other posts but suffice it to say on our first visit with the Avian Vet we got a 30 minute lecture on Pixie's diet. Our Vet recommends only Harrison's for Pellets. When I asked why she said she has witnessed more illnesses cured completely with a simple change to Harrison's pellets than any medication she has prescribed. This included a complete resolution to chronic kidney failure in her own parrot. She also cautioned us on feeding any type of "mash" as according to her it encourages nesting and territorial behavior, which can lead to biting. Having said that Pixie loves her mash and we still give it about 1-2 x weekely. She asked us to limit the feeding of apples, oranges, and bananas to only 1 or 2 times per week and called them "sugar bombs". We are also to limit the use of vegetables like carrots, peas and beets for the same reason. We feed melon, lots of berries, and just about every type of green the store carries including kale, swiss chard, and dandelion greens, on a daily basis. Cucumber, yellow and orange peppers, and hot peppers of any kind are also on our daily list. Pixie also loves Quinoa, couscous, and brown rice every 2nd day or so, and cooked legumes about twice per week.
We have tried the crumbles and the regular sized pellets and Pixie seems to prefer the larger size as others have mentioned. You can also run the large pellets through a coffee grinder (not used for coffee) in order the vary the size and keep things interesting.
Hope this helps! |
