Cockatiel diet

A proper diet is the foundation of the wellbeing of cockatiels. A varied diet prevents deficiencies and keeps the parrot active and healthy.

What they eat

  • A mix of quality seeds and specific pellets;
  • Fresh vegetables (e.g. spinach, carrots, broccoli);
  • Fruit in small amounts;
  • Always fresh water and sources of calcium (cuttlebone).

Daily care

  • Spacious cage with perches and toys;
  • Regular cleaning of the cage and accessories;
  • Time out of the cage to socialize;
  • Routine and a calm environment.
