What do Eclectus Parrots eat?
The most critical element in the care of Eclectus parrots is a well-balanced diet. The Eclectus digestive system requires a wide variety of food rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A) on a daily basis. Fresh fruits and vegetables are extremely important. Examples include green peppers, carrots, lettuce, corn, peas, apples, melons, oranges, grapefruit, beans, pears, papayas, celery, cucumber, sprouts, sweet potatoes, asparagus, broccoli buds, zucchini, etc. We also feed our Eclectus hard boiled eggs, pasta, rice, and cooked chicken or fish. Cooked food should NOT contain salt or sugar. Eclectus should also be fed parrot mix seeds/fruits, pellets and Nutriberries. The Eclectus demands variety. They will let you know when you are feeding them too much of the same thing. DO NOT FEED YOUR ECLECTUS OR ANY OTHER PARROT CHOCOLATE, AVOCADOS OR SWEETS OF ANY KIND. THEY CAN BE TOXIC TO YOUR PET.
