Why Proper Nutrition Matters for Medium & Large Parrots

Larger bird species have higher nutritional demands and require a diet rich in:

• Protein for muscle maintenance
• Omega fatty acids for feather gloss
• Antioxidants & vitamins for immunity
• Calcium for bones and eggshell support
• Amino acids for neurological and feather health
  

A well-balanced mix prevents common issues like feather plucking, obesity, mood swings, and nutrient deficiency.

What to Look for in Medium & Large Bird Foods

When choosing food for your parrot, ensure the mix includes:

• Pellets for complete micronutrient balance
• Quality seeds: sunflower (moderation), safflower, pumpkin, and canary seed
• Nuts: almonds, peanuts (unsalted), walnuts
• Dried fruits: papaya, berries, banana chips
• Omega-rich ingredients for feather health
• Low artificial colours and preservatives
  

Pellets should make up 50–70% of the diet, depending on species and vet recommendations.

Feeding Guidelines for Birds in the UAE Climate

The UAE’s hot and dry weather requires extra attention to hydration and freshness:

• Replace food twice daily to prevent spoilage
• Provide fresh water at all times
• Add fresh vegetables: carrots, broccoli, spinach, peas
• Feed fruits in moderation due to sugar content
• Avoid toxic foods: avocado, chocolate, onion, garlic, alcohol
• For parrots prone to obesity (Amazons, Cockatoos), reduce high-fat seeds
