A NUTRICIOUS DIET FOR PARROTS

We want to help Planet Earth. We buy organic foods without man made chemicals for ourselves and our parrots health and happiness

We are interested in the long-term health of the planet Earth, cutting down down on pesticide use makes a difference. Getting to ensure their continued good health, as well as the health of the planet.

Imagine what a breathe of air is like for parrots in the rainforest.

Imagine their food. Wild parrots forage for themselves finding and eating a variety of natural foods without chemicals, A captive parrot relies on its caretaker to provide clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and nutricious food to eat.

Conventionally produced parrot foods consist of seeds, nuts, dried fruits and pellets. An all seed diet does not provide proper nutrician. Parrots do not eat an all sead diet in the wild. Parrot pellets whether cold, extruded or steamed, may have unhealthy sweeteners, food coloring, animal by products and fillers.

WHY ORGANIC PARROT FOOD?

Organic parrot food is an important choice to make for
the same reasons it is important to choose organic
foods for the humans and other pets in your household.

Given the extra cost, it may seem like choosing organic
pet food is not a significant choice that is really worth it
in the long run. We think it is. Anything you can do to
cut down on pesticide use is going to make a difference.

We buy organic fruits and vegetables for ourselves and our parrots. THEY ARE WELL WORTH THE EXTRA COST. We are interested our parrots health and the the long-term
health of the planet,
