Why Choosing the Right Cockatoo Food Matters
Cockatoos require a balanced diet rich in:
- High-quality proteins for feather growth
- Vitamins & minerals for immunity
- Healthy fats for energy
- Low sugar & controlled seeds to prevent obesity
A well-formulated diet helps prevent common issues like malnutrition, feather plucking, calcium deficiency, and digestive problems.
