Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What's the best food for a Maroon Bellied Conure?
A balanced mix of organic pellets, a small amount of seed mix, and fresh fruit and vegetables works best. You can enhance meals with soft food or sprouting seeds.
Q: Can I feed my conure only pellets?
Pellets like Harrison's or Askio Nature offer complete nutrition, but many birds benefit from added variety like moist food, sprouted seeds, and occasional treats.
Q: Are sprouting mixes safe and easy to use?
Yes. These blends are designed for safe at-home soaking and sprouting. They're highly nutritious and support digestive and immune health.
Q: What food is best for fussy eaters?
Try Lafeber NutriBerries or soft, moist foods like fruit-and-nut mash. These are often more appealing due to their texture and flavour.
Q: How much should I feed my conure each day?
Typically 1–2 tablespoons of pellets or seed mix, plus fresh produce and enrichment food. Adjust based on activity level and body condition.
