5 FAQs
What type of food is best for Green-Winged Macaws?
A pellet-based diet such as Askio Nature or Harrison's should be the foundation. Supplement with fresh produce, seed blends, and foraging foods like NutriBerries for variety and stimulation.
How much should I feed my Green-Winged Macaw per day?
Offer 100–150g per day, divided into two feedings, adjusted based on activity level and weight. Always provide access to clean water and fresh fruits/vegetables.
Can I feed my macaw only seed mix?
No. While seeds like Tidymix offer enrichment, they should not be the sole diet. A balanced pellet is crucial to avoid vitamin deficiencies and obesity.
Are these foods suitable for other large parrots?
Yes. These products are also ideal for Scarlet Macaws, Blue & Gold Macaws, Hyacinth Macaws, and large cockatoos. Just ensure portion sizes are appropriate.
What's the benefit of using sprouting and soaking mixes?
Sprouted seeds are easier to digest and rich in living enzymes, vitamins, and minerals—excellent for gut health and boosting immunity in macaws and other large parrots.
