African Grey Parrot Diet

African grey parrots diets should include an adequate amount of calcium via supplements and also include vitamin A. Examples of foods rich in calcium and vitamin A are: -

  • Cheese (only small amounts due to fat content)
  • Vegetables
  • Leafy greens
  • Nuts
  • Peeled Food
  • Seeds (Small amounts)
  • Fruit

If giving your parrots supplements, ensure you are not going over their RDA, as is can use health issues with your parrot .  If you feed your parrot an adequate diet, supplements will not be necessary, therefore do not use them if they are not required. Also an African Grey has just given birth, feed it soft foods to aid digestion whilst feeding.

Ensure fresh water is always available for your parrot and change the waterseeds supply daily. Supplements can be added to their water, however i usually refrain from implementing this.
