5 FAQs
What should an Umbrella Cockatoo eat daily?
A complete daily diet should include:
- Complete pellets (e.g. Askio Nature)
- A small portion of seeds (e.g. Tidymix or Johnston & Jeff Lean & Fit)
- Fresh vegetables and leafy greens
- Sprouted or soaked grains 2–3 times per week
- Occasional fruits and training treats like NutriBerries
Are pellets better than seeds alone?
Yes. Pellets provide balanced nutrition, whereas seed-only diets may cause vitamin deficiencies and excess fat. Combine both for variety, with pellets as the base.
Can I use sprouting or soaking foods every day?
Sprouting or soaking foods offer excellent variety and are safe to feed 2–4 times weekly, especially when used as a foraging enrichment tool.
What are the healthiest treat options?
NutriBerries make a complete food and treat. Dried vegetables or chillies are low-fat and high in vitamin A, while soaking mixes with lentils and brown rice offer protein and fibre.
Are these foods suitable for other large parrots?
Yes. They're also ideal for Moluccan Cockatoos, Macaws, African Greys, and Amazons. Always ensure portion sizes match your bird's species and weight.
