5 FAQs
What is the best diet for a Congo African Grey?
The ideal diet includes organic pellets such as Harrison’s or TOP’s, soaked or sprouted seeds and pulses, daily fresh vegetables and fruit, and seed mixes in moderation—ideally low in sunflower and peanuts.
Are seed-only diets harmful?
Yes, seed-only diets can cause obesity, liver problems, and vitamin A deficiencies. A balanced diet should include pellets, fresh produce, and supplements when necessary.
Do African Greys need extra calcium?
Absolutely. African Greys are prone to calcium deficiency. Including calcium-rich foods or safe supplements is important, particularly for egg-laying females or birds on seed-heavy diets.
How do I introduce new food to a picky eater?
Mix the new food with your bird’s favourite and gradually increase the amount over 7–14 days. Offer it in the morning when your parrot is hungriest for better acceptance.
What’s the difference between pellets and seed mixes?
Pellets offer complete nutrition in every bite, while seed mixes provide variety but often need supplementation. Many parrot owners use both to balance enrichment and nutrition.
