What are the best foods for my pet bird's health?
The best food for your pet bird is a nutritionally balanced formula made for its species and life stage, so there isn't one universal best option. Chewy's bird food picks include pellets as well as seed, fruit, or vegetable blends that you can compare for nutritional content, digestibility, ingredients, palatability, and bird type. Check the package feeding directions and ask an avian veterinarian to check how the food should fit into your bird's overall diet.
What seed mixes are best for birds?
The best seed mix is one made for your bird's species since seed size and blend are different for birds such as conures, cockatiels, parakeets, finches, doves, and pigeons. Beak size and shape, energy needs, and feeding habits all affect what each species needs. Look for options with your bird's species listed, then compare ingredients, nutritional content, digestibility, and palatability before choosing.
