Pellets are generally recommended for (captive) parrots by vets, specialists etc, but not by parrots :-) Parrots prefer fatty foods and do not know much about nutritional value, so if given a choice they'll choose nuts & seeds every time. We also have & feed wild sulfurs in our backyard (have the whole same combination of birds in my backyard as you have in yours :-) although not as many). I also give them nuts & seeds, but I take care to limit the amount. Max 3-4 almonds per bird per day, and always in shell so they get more activity time out of them. I also give them walnuts in shell, other nuts, seeds, & seed mix. Their preferred seeds are sunflower, they are like candy for parrots. I give them as treats (also pepita seeds), but take care with the amount - somewhere around 5 - 10 per bird per day generally. Sunflower seeds lack the calcium they need, so if they eat too many VS other foodstuffs, they can get calcium deficiency, which can damage their bones
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Our cockatoos definitely agree-given the choice, they’ll pick nuts and seeds over pellets every time. We’ve also noticed that sunflower seeds are like candy to them, so we are now giving them in the seed mix only. Thanks for the tip about giving almonds and walnuts in the shell! 👍🙂Thanks again for your detailed comment and for being part of our bird-loving community. Much appreciated!🙏
It was very interesting to see what they like. Wise birds, almonds are healthy and tasty 😊 Also very interesting to watch dominant bird behaviour. 👍 Warm greetings!
That is a great test. The cockatoos are smart and know that unprocessed food is better for them than processed food. I wish I had the IQ of a cockatoo. If anyone had the IQ of a cockatoo they too would prefer plain unprocessed food rather than processed food.
Thank you! Glad you found it interesting. In the wild, cockatoos eat grass roots, seeds, nuts, fruits, berries etc. Often, we see them bringing liquidambar seed pods and fruits they pick up somewhere.

Cute birds, they are smart in choosing the most delicious and healthy food 😂
Absolutely! We could learn a thing or two from them about choosing healthy food! Smart and adorable!

If anyone had the IQ of a cockatoo they too would prefer plain unprocessed food rather than processed food.
Thank you! You're absolutely right. Sometimes, we wish we could be more like wild birds, choosing natural food over industrial junk.

Great research and interesting facts！ What do they eat in the wild if people don't feed them food？thanks for sharing.👍👍💗💗
Thank you! Glad you found it interesting. In the wild, cockatoos eat grass roots, seeds, nuts, fruits, berries etc. Often, we see them bringing liquidambar seed pods and fruits they pick up somewhere.
СУПЕР ❤❤❤😚😚😚

They love high fat foods, very predictable that almonds are favourites.
You're right! While we anticipated their preference for almonds, it was fascinating to see it so clearly.
Nahhhh 😂
first, almonds, then we will think about pellets
😅👍
СУПЕР ВИДЕО ❤❤❤😚😚😚
