Care and feeding of Sulphur Crested Cockatoo
Many birds can spend most of their time on a play pen or parrot perch.
They eat a variety of seeds, nuts, fruits, and commercial pellets, as well as the same nutritional foods humans eat.
Bird Food:
A Cockatoo diet consisting of a basic large hookbill seed mix with supplements of sprouted seeds and all sorts of fruits and vegetables is generally regarded as suitable.
Some examples of supplements are apples, pears, plums, raisons, oranges, bananas, peaches, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, chickweed, dandelions, and lots more! Do not feed avocado as it is toxic to birds!
Occasional proteins can be offered such as cottage cheese, bits of cheese, hard boiled eggs, canned dog food, and cooked meat bones. Stay away from highly seasoned, fatty processed meats.
Bird Grooming:
Lightly in the direction of the feathers on the tops of their heads, the neck area, and any other spots they can’t reach. This will aid in the removal of the clear feather sheaths that can become scratchy and irritating on fresh feathers.
If you want to discourage flight and prevent your pet from falling out of an open window or door, keep the wings trim. If the beak and claws are not worn down through climbing and gnawing, they must be trimmed.
