Avian Companions
Feeding
Cockatoos should be fed a
varied diet, consisting of fruits ,vegatables,seeds, nuts,whole
wheat bread, and one of their favorites, Italian Breadsticks. A
good pelleted mix is required also. Due to different requirements
for different Cockatoos, I will not go into depth on what ratios
are to be fed, but lean toward more fruits and vegatables and
pellets as seeds contain a lot of fat which is not good for the
Cockatoo. The most favorite of my flock is Cooked Sweet Potato
and Corn on the cob. I also make a "Mash" in the food
processer consisting of all the fruits and vegatables that they
would not eat alone. I then spoon the mash onto whole wheat
bread, give it to them, and they like it so much, they lick the
bowls!
