Diet & Nutrition

Our knowledge of avian diet and nutrition continues to evolve regularly, and recommendations change as new information is discovered. It is important to note that ‘one size does not fit all’ in avian nutrition. Many birds are offered a varied diet, but a bird may choose to only eat the seeds in the mixture, much like a child might choose to eat candy when given the choice between candy and green vegetables. Unfortunately, birds that eat poor quality diets often have long-term health consequences.

At Feathers and Fur Animal Hospital, we are committed to ensuring your bird not only receives the best treatment, but also the most nutritional diet through a custom-tailored plan for your bird based on the unique needs and preferences of their species.
