I have a Rosella parrot, whose feathers are not clipped.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He is not the type of bird to interact with but none the less he is a cherished member of the household.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He has a large cage 7 ft by 5 ft long where he is able to fly from branch to branch and a 9 ft x 5 outdoor cage used only on mild days weather permitting.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I think all owners of birds should consider the living quarters of their pet birds especially if they do not allow them out of their cages or rarely. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n It is a commitment to give the best quality of life we can to our feathers friends.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New comment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Re: Hi Laura What is The True Lifespan of Parrots in Captivity<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, I don’t agree with the first 2 comments.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keto is not long term healthy and you have to know what you are doing to feed a parrot chop to make it balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pellet is dead food.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has some nutritional value.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New comment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Re: Hi Jennifer What is The True Lifespan of Parrots in Captivity<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mitch,<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks for the blog post about life-span and chop.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chop was (and maybe is?) still kind of hot in the parrot community.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two things: my birds aren’t nuts about it and it’s quite labor-intensive.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And, one of the parrot rescues I like showed us the same info you put up–that birds should only be given a pretty darn small amount of it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was shocked only a tablespoon or so ( for greys, ‘zons) was what they should be offered.’<\/span><\/p>\n I see that protein would be deficient from the research you did.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I do like to offer my birds some fresh foods (carrots, bananas, green beans, peas, chickpeas) for foraging activities.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They waste most of it but they seem to enjoy sifting through it as an activity.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As always they get pellets<\/a> and Nutri-berries<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And thanks for the discussion about Higgins Intune<\/a>. <\/p>\n He likes the red ones the best lol.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not mentioned is that InTune<\/a> has no fake dyes—I like that they use vegetables and fruit to color it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n My Grey and Meyers like Harrison’s<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and sometimes TOPS Organic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I tried Hagen Tropican<\/a> but was unable to get them to transition. It looks like a great pellet though.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, thanks for your blog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New comment<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Re: Hi Laura What is The True Lifespan of Parrots in Captivity<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
