What kind of fruit can wavy parrots give?

Many owners feed their budgies with purchased grain feed and make a big mistake. Such a bird's diet is not predetermined by nature, and this is not enough for the birds to get all the necessary vitamins and trace elements for a healthy life. Ornithologists insist that the basis of the diet of parrots should include fruit.

When you make a decision to tame a wavy parrot, you need to understand that the happiness of owning a pet carries with it the responsibility for its health and life, since the bird is entirely dependent on the care and proper organization of the diet that the owner can provide. A great many of us like to indulge our pets with sweets and fruits, often not realizing that forbidden fruits or berries when eaten can cause irreparable harm to health, and sometimes to the death of a feathery. Therefore, it is necessary to stock up on a rich arsenal of knowledge to avoid harmful treats.

So, parrots need to give these fruits.

• Citruses (oranges, tangerines, lemons) - A real treasure trove of vitamins, acids, fiber, and easily digestible carbohydrates. They contain magnesium and potassium. Proper use: peel off, as it accumulates a lot of toxins when growing a fruit, cut it into small pieces, provide a supply of water near the bird. And yet be careful, yet fruit are allergens. Tangerines of all citrus least "insidious". To begin, give your pet quite a bit of delicacy and watch the condition, whether there is a reaction of the body. If all is well, then citrus fruits should definitely be in the diet.
• Apples (any varieties) - contain vitamins B and C, tannins, fiber. The correct use: it is impossible to give with a peel, previously it needs to be cut off. You also need to remove all the rotten places and blackening from the blows, bones definitely need to get it. For a wavy parrot variety, the daily limit of apples should not exceed one sixth of the total fruit. Apples need to crumble or grate. It is recommended to come up with variations in consumption - extinguish, dry or soak the fruits in water.
• Pears - contain sugar (fructose and glucose), vitamins A, P, PP, C, B1, B2, E, magnesium, folic acid, fluorine, nitrogenous substances and iron. Proper use: cut into small squares as thick as your little finger, peeling.
• Watermelons - rich in potassium and magnesium, cleanse the body and, of course, useful for the urinary system of birds. Proper use - cut into small slices.
• Melons - only one portion of melon replaces the daily need for vitamin A. Melon is also rich in phosphorus, sodium, potassium and iron. Beneficial effect on the digestive system. Proper use - cut into slices. Try to give wavy friends only when the melon season is.
• Fruits and berries, inside of which there is a bone (sweet cherry, bird cherry, cherry, plum, peach, cherry plum, apricot) - contain a lot of fiber, sugars and vitamins. Proper use - offer stone fruit types both in fresh form and in the form of dried fruits. Be sure to remove the bone.
• The rest of the berries - a source of vitamin C and many other useful elements. Just needed in the diet of birds. The correct use: in the usual or frozen look (if not a season).If the berries are frozen, pre-thaw, slightly warm. If the berries are dried, immerse in water for a while so that they soften.
• A pineapple - there is a lot of manganese in the fruit, which, together with calcium, is needed to strengthen and restore bone tissues and increase their strength. Proper use - to remove the core, finely chop.
• Grapes - rich in sugars and carbohydrates, calcium, B vitamins, fiber. Proper use: you can give grapes with stones of different varieties, avoid only sweet varieties. Giving grapes 3 times a week will be more than enough.
• Garnet - One of the most useful fruits for wavy pets. It is a leader in the content of iron, ascorbic acid, is rich in vitamins of group B, A, PP. Proper use: starting with a couple of pips, bring the portion to 10, but no more, so as not to get a laxative effect or an allergic reaction.
• Banana not too poor in vitamins and minerals, everyone knows that bananas have a lot of potassium, sugars and starch. Proper use: can be given in pieces in different variations (fresh, dried or dried). Of course, you need to remove the peel from the banana, cut it into small pieces and put it in the feeder for your parrot. Do not forget about the fact that bananas are very high in calories and with their constant use in large quantities or overeating the parrot can quickly get fat. Do not assume that since the pet lives in your house and does not have the need to fly in the wild, then weight is not a particularly important factor. Completeness very quickly leads to heart disease and is the cause of death of budgies.
• Kiwi - It is very rich in vitamin C, helps to absorb iron better and promotes rapid healing of wounds. Kiwi also contains vitamin E, which is an excellent antioxidant, lowers cholesterol and improves the immunity of birds. Proper use: cut into slices, peeled.
• Mango - in nature, parrots in large quantities absorb mangoes and feed them with the flesh of their flesh. The fruit contains a lot of beta-carotene, B vitamins, as well as minerals and salts: potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, phosphorus. This king of fruit is rich in pectin and contains a large amount of fiber. Proper use: when giving mango to birds, just follow all the usual precautionary methods - no unripe fruits, no moldy ones. Although it is allowed to give fruit with a peel, due to the incomprehensible import conditions, it is recommended to cut it off. Mango bone is very large, and therefore it will be unsuitable for food.

Do not forget that all fruits must be washed thoroughly, no matter where they are purchased or even grown on your site. It is very important to get ripe fruits. Dried fruits from stores, if they are pre-candied, are not suitable for parrots, so they should not be bought.

Very often, the owners of parrots believe that the bird itself knows best how much and what it should eat. Ornithologists nonetheless warn: even if the pet is willing to absorb any food from the common table, this does not mean that he is right. Many of the products consumed by man are not suitable for eating a wavy parrot. Here are the fruits that can not be given to birds under any circumstances.

Avocado - this fruit, so beloved by many, is one of the many causes of death of birds, because it contains Persin - a very toxic element, leading to the death of birds. Seeds of apples and pears, seeds of plums, nectarine, apricot, peach and large berries are very dangerous for parrots because they contain cyanide, which is one of the most toxic substances and causes the most severe poisoning.

Very many owners of budgies are faced with this problem and do not know what can be done to start eating a variety of birds. A frequent reason is the fear of the feathery before the unknown and everything new, because most often in the shops and in the bird markets give the parrots either food or different seeds, not caring how the bird feels. With this mode of feeding is addictive, and the feathery does not want to use anything else.

Just show your friend that you can be trusted, show by example how tasty fruits are. If you do not like the type of fruit, change it - mash, juice, dry, knead and soak the fruit.
