Are parrot carnivore?
Parrots are omnivores, eating both meat and plants/plant products (seeds, fruits, nuts, etc.) In the wild, parrots eat mostly seeds, along with some fruits and vegetables. They will also eat insects and worms. Some parrots are predatory: “In addition to feeding on seeds and flowers, some parrot species will prey on animals. Golden-winged Parakeets prey on water snails, and famously the Keas of New Zealand will scavenge on sheep carcases and even kill juvenile petrels. Another New Zealand parrot, the Antipodes Island Parakeet, enters the burrows of nesting Grey-backed Storm-petrels and kills the incubating adults.[14] Some cockatoos and the Kākā will also excavate branches and wood in order to obtain grubs.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot#Diet In captivity, parrots need a varied diet, including meat. They can also eat “people food” like pasta. Here is what your pet parrot should be eating:
