Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What's the best diet for a Cape Parrot?
A mix of pellets, low-sunflower seed blends, and fresh produce creates a balanced base. Add sprouting seeds and soft foods for enrichment.
Q: Can I feed only pellets?
Pellets like Harrison's or TOP's provide complete nutrition, but variety (soft foods, sprouting seeds) enhances mental stimulation and overall wellbeing.
Q: Are sprouting seeds safe for Cape Parrots?
Yes, our sprouting mixes are designed for safe home preparation and provide extra protein and vitamins.
Q: What foods help with fussy eating?
Soft foods, Sensible Seed Mixes, and fruit/veggie mash blends often encourage reluctant eaters to try new flavours and textures.
Q: How much food should I provide daily?
Around 2–3 tablespoons of pellets or seed mix daily, plus fresh produce and enrichment foods. Adjust portions to your parrot's activity level.
