5 FAQs
What's the best daily diet for a Timneh African Grey?
An ideal diet includes:
- Pellets (like Harrison's or Askio Nature) as a base.
- Fresh vegetables and leafy greens daily.
- Sprouting or soaking mixes for added texture and nutrients.
- A small amount of fruit or seeds as treats.
Are seed-only diets safe for Timnehs?
No – Timnehs can become calcium deficient and overweight on seed-only diets. Seeds should only be part of a varied, balanced plan, not the whole menu.
How do I transition my Timneh to pellets?
Start by mixing small amounts of pellets with their favourite food. Gradually increase the ratio over 1–2 weeks while offering pellets when they're most hungry, usually in the morning.
Do Timnehs need soaking or sprouting foods?
Yes – soaking pulses or sprouting seeds boost nutrient bioavailability and mimic wild foraging, offering excellent variety and mental enrichment.
Are all foods in this section safe for other birds too?
Most are suitable for other medium to large parrots, but always check labels for species-specific guidance, especially regarding fat and calcium content.
