Why include sticks and treats in a parrot's diet?

  • Parrots enjoy pecking out individual pieces, which naturally stimulates their mental activity.
• Health support:
  • Mineral and vitamin treats help improve feather quality, support immunity and ensure proper nutrition.

How to choose sticks and treats?

• Size and species of parrot:

  • Smaller parrots (budgerigars, cockatiels) will appreciate finer seeds and smaller sticks.
  • Larger species (African greys, macaws) prefer mixes with bigger seeds, nuts and harder treats.

• Composition:

  • Avoid treats with artificial colourings and added sugar.
  • Look for products with natural ingredients and fortified with vitamins.

• Health condition:

  • For parrots with sensitive digestion, choose herbal or lighter mixes.
  • During growth or moulting, choose mineral-rich or more energy-dense treats.
