Diet

Their diet consists of an excellent triple cleaned seed mix (Nederlands Vita Seed Diet), a variety of pellets (Roudybush , Nederlands Vita Krunch and Zupreem natural), a soft food mixture (includes pasta, quiona, brown rice, barley, bulgur wheat,  wheat germ, mixed veggies, cooked mixed beans, ground broccoli & carrots, brewer's yeast, untoasted wheat germ, mashed boiled egg and shell, and any other good stuff available), Homemade Birdie Bread (with lots of healthy and yummy stuff), chopped broccoli, kale, carrots, apples, banana, and other fruits and veggies. See Recipes.

Nederlands seeds and pellets, Roudybush products and other excellent bird supplies may be purchased through Dot Roberts at Twin Spruce Aviary. Email angel323@adelphia.net or call 207-727-3596.  You can purchase it there or she will ship it.  This seed is so much cleaner - better for your birds' respiratory systems and your own!  And her prices are excellent!

Our goal for them is to not only have a healthy diet, but for the babies to recognize all possible foods as edible. This helps to aid in their adjustment when they go to their new home.

When our babies leave to go to their new homes, we provide a bag of seed and pellets,  a container of our Soft Food Medley and some Homemade Birdie Bread.  This prevents birds from having to adjust to a new environment and new foods.
