Brand new parrot owner

Welcome to the wonderfu world of being a bird mom! The bonding can take minutes (like love at first site) or it can take time to build trust with your new bird. Either way, it's wonderful once you get there! As to feeding, make sure you provide a wide variety of foods...pelleted food, seeds, fruits, veggies, fresh greens (kale, swiss chard, etc.). Also try wholesome people food! My birds have always eaten what I eat, so I fix dinner with them in mind. My Slender-Billed Conure loved pasta more than anything...cold pasta salad, spaghetti with tomato suace, fettucinni...if it was pasta, she'd jump up and down and go crazy for it. Don't feed apple seeds, chocolate, alcohol, salt, avocado, caffine, mushrooms, onions, dried beans, totato leaves...I think that's it!
