It would seem, everything is very simple – bought special mix in a box, fill it every day in a feeding trough and be happy. But fans of parrots are often concerned by a question – and whether it is impossible to treat the pet with something that he really loves?
Matter of habit
Though a budgerigar – a birdie small, the largest representatives of birds can envy his obstinacy. If your Kesha decided that he will eat only a millet, it is possible to rasshibitsya in flat cake, offering it other types of a forage, but not to gain any effect. However it does not mean at all that parrots like to peck only something one. Just your copy got used to a concrete treat and, most likely, does not even guess as much in the world still exists any goodies.
For this reason remember – to any kind of a forage (useful or tasty) your wavy parrot surely it is necessary to accustom. Can happen so that it with pleasure will be accepted to the new offered treat, but if it did not occur, show persistence. If to enclose a new type of delicacy in a feeding trough corner with habitual food, sooner or later the little experimenter will become interested and will try it. And suddenly, it will be pleasant?
Summer vitamins
Very much parrots love greens and fresh fruit or vegetables. Delicacy in the form of ripe berries is also taken with great pleasure. Treat the feathery friend with a juicy grass in the summer zvezdchatky (in the people it is called still a wood louse). As a rule, the parrot should not be persuaded that he tasted these juicy tasty greens. Having hardly caught sight of it, birdies begin is concentrated it to pluck. Whenever possible, once a week add small pieces of fruit or berries to a diet of parrots, their birdies too very much love. Vegetables will also be useful for a change a diet and as a source of fresh vitamins, however some parrots are them refuse. It is better to accustom your feathery favourite to a vegetable diet gradually, at first offering pieces of sweet vegetables: carrots or beets. And what delight will be felt by your parrot at the sight of a fat caterpillar or some insect brought from the street or a kitchen garden! Parrots willingly eat midges, a wax moth, drosophilas and also small crickets and flies.
