5 FAQs
What should a Blue & Gold Macaw eat daily?
A balanced diet includes high-quality pellets (like Harrison's or TOP's) supplemented with a seed mix, fresh vegetables, sprouted grains, and occasional fruits or healthy treats.
Can I feed my macaw a seed-only diet?
No. Seed-only diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies, obesity, or liver disease. Seeds should only be part of a varied and controlled feeding plan.
What's the difference between pellets and seed mixes?
Pellets offer complete, balanced nutrition in every bite, while seed mixes may lack certain nutrients unless fortified. A mix of both is ideal when supplemented with fresh foods.
Are sprouted seeds good for macaws?
Yes! Sprouting increases the bioavailability of nutrients and adds natural variety to their meals. Our sprouting mixes are easy to use and highly nutritious.
How often should I rotate my macaw's food?
Introduce new foods gradually and rotate every few weeks to encourage foraging behaviour, prevent boredom, and expose your macaw to a wider nutrient profile.
