Beaks and Feathers

23/01/2025

Did you know that a healthy diet can help protect your parrot from beak deformities? These issues can really affect their quality of life. A balanced meal should include calcium, Vitamin D3, protein, and Vitamin A. Avoid those seed-only diets and create a meal plan that’s full of variety! Fresh sprouts, leafy greens like Swiss chard, and high-quality pellets can work wonders. Regular vet check-ups are a must too!

All our big Toys are Taco-tested! Taco is our in-house Cockatoo (and quality assessor) and personally approves of this toy by Rani.

Birds need to chew to prevent their beaks from becoming overgrown. Provide them with interesting toys to keep them occupied - they're supposed to chew them to pieces!
