Feeding of Alex's

[Tay2000]

Hello, I am curious as to what your guys feeding schedule is, and what form of pellets do u feed along with fruits, veges, nuts etc. thanks in advance

I give my Alexes Vetafarm Nutriblend pellets every day, along with a scant smattering of mixed seeds. As well, they get a mixture of veggies, depending on what I have on hand at the time and sliced fruit, also depending on what's available. Sometimes, that might mean warmed-up frozen mixed veg (mine prefer the chunky ones rather than the diced ones, which they'll tend to waste) or even tinned fruit (they adore tinned peaches, but not pears or apricots). Sometimes, if the grass is long (has been lately owing to >>> rain), I'll give them a big handful of grass to nibble on and they really, really love that. For treats, they like a chunk of ramen noodles, or a spoonful of muesli out of my breakfast, or a bit of mashed potato, or a round of corn cut from the cob, or a few pasta noodles (wet or dry) or the crust off my toast. That's all. Barney and Madge appear to be in excellent health and really good feather atm (thank goodness they've finished moulting, which was challenging). Oh, and flowers: they really like to eat flowers of various kinds. I was giving them gum (eucalyptus) blossoms when they were in flower, but more recently the little toads have been nipping the heads off my roses. Not only that, but they've taught Dominic the Galah to do it too, so of course he makes a beeline for the flower vase if there happens to be one on the table. Last week, my sister arrived and burst out laughing at the lovely vase of headless stems I had on display! :22_yikes:

Xander really loves the thawed frozen veggies that include carrots, green beans, peas and corn. He likes the diced stuff as well as the bigger chunks
He eats some Zupreem and Roudybush pellets, as well as a good seed mix.
For his afternoon feed, he gets fresh fruits and veggies and really loves the broccoli, pomegranates and cooked sweet potatoes rolled in red chili flakes.
