SOME GOOD HEALTH TIPS FOR YOUR BIRD

For many years people fed nothing but seeds and peanuts to their birds.  Not realizing the health issues this caused, we all thought that this is what birds needed.  Little did we realize that we were killing our birds from fatty liver to heart attacks to just obesity.  After all, they're "just birds".  In the wild, seeds are acceptable.  Birds fly for miles and miles to burn off the fat that they take in.  But in the wilds, birds also eat leafs, stems, tree bark and any other thing they want.  Again, they forage for their food.
Then along came the Pelleted Diet.  For a number of years we were then brow beaten into believing that a pelleted diet is all that birds needed.  Take away all seeds and just give them something that never existed in their diets.  Then we were told to feed pellets as 80% of the diet and seed the other 20%.
Now, there is proof that a more natural diet is what is best for our flocks.  Research by scientists has proven that we need to get our birds back onto a healthier diet.   If you read some articles by professionals in the field of Avian Nutrition, you will see many of the recommended foods.  Please seek out Jason Crean, Patricia Sund and other professionals in this Facebook group.
