Medium size nuggets for Conure
We use one 20 lb. bag every two weeks. This dry parrot biscuit is a favorite of our parrots who enjoy the tasty, colorful, fruit-shaped nuggets
The diet is a completely balanced nutrition for adult birds & parrots. It contains five differently colored, individually shaped, fruit-flavored nuggets for a fun eating experience. The fruity flavor is derived from ground fresh fruit, bananas, oranges, apples and grapes.

NUTS

Whole Nuts Unsalted, all types.
Nuts contribute to a balanced diet, they are full of nutrition and unsaturated fats and help parrots to look and feel their best. A nut in the shell requires work to get the meat out, combats boredom and helps keep beaks and jaw muscles healthy.
