A Piece of Advice for Persons that Like Avocets
June 26th, 2008The main point in the housing of birds is a right nourishment for them. Usually the cage birds are a type of granivorous ones they can be parrots, canaries, pigeons etc. But it doesn't intend them to eat only seeds. But in truth this sort of birds vary their food every time of the year in natural conditions. The ration may contain animal feed, different greens, fruits and tree barks. That's why the diversity of forages will keep your bird healthy.
Today you may get wild bird seed almost anywhere, even online. But you are not to feed your bird only with corn a whole year because it doesn't really correspond to diverse bird nourishment in nature.
From the first view you can not indicate any disease after feeding your bird with the same forage for years. But with some time diseases will be revealed. Ornithologists observe such diseases as the malfunction of molt, obesity, disorder of the reproductive function etc. All these cases are conditional on wrong feeding of birds. Also there can be many cases of infective diseases because birds need vitamins and proteins in their food.
Grain blend is the most necessary part in a bird's meal. Different sorts of grains (wheat, millet, oats, maize and others) and seeds (canary seed, herbage seeds, seeds of lettuce) must be contained in this mixture because it is really helpful for a bird's health. Of course there should be oil-yielding seeds such as sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, hemp seed and various nuts. Obesity can be provoked by oil-bearing seeds so you are to give small portions of them to elude overuse.
