Re: IRN Diet please help
I am unsure if the pellets are any good.
But if your bird needs to be on a diet that is unusual as parots only eat what they need, they are not over eaters, so give it vege's and some fruit with some seed, limit the amount of sun flower seed you give as its fatty, give more vege's then fruit as fruits tend to be higher in fats.
There is aplace on the site that explains what to feed your FID.

hm... well i do that already,the thing is, is that even if a give my IRN a very small amount of sunflower seeds it will just ignore all the veggies i give him and will keep waiting for more the next day,that's why i am trying to give my IRN pallets instead it's not a replacement for the veggies or fruits I give him just the seeds,that way i could use seeds as a treat and not food.dog_glenn123 wrote:I am unsure if the pellets are any good.

Yer they all have there favourite food, mine all love corn on the cob and will eat n eat it untill not even the cob exist's anymore.
I had an avien vet explain to me that they call it the golden seed! when you put bird seed in the aviary that it doesnt normally have it will tip basically everything out looking for the golden seed in the case of a gallah i had it was sunflower seed and he did the same sat there until you put sunflower seed in.
He also explained that hunger gets the better of them they wont starv them selves for to long eventually they will eat whats on offer.
