THE FOLLOWING IS THE FEEDING SCHEDULE I USE FOR ALL THE PARROTS AND THE WEANING BABIES:

HAVE ZUPREEM FRUIT BLEND (OR NATURAL) FOR PARROTS IN BOWLS AT ALL TIMES.  NEKTON-S IN WATER EVERY OTHER DAY FOR GOOD HEALTH AND FEATHERS.

1.  A.M. - CHOPPED RAW VEGGIE MIX IN ANOTHER BOWL.  THROW REMAINDER AWAY WHEN YOU GIVE THE P.M. SNACKS.

2.  VEGGIE MIX CAN CONSIST OF :

     ZUCCHINI - SWEET BABY CARROTS - BROCCOLI - CUCUMBERS - ANY HARD    SQUASH -  SWEET POTATOES - GREEN, YELLOW AND RED PEPPERS - FROZENM CORN (HEATED) - FROZEN PEAS (HEATED)

NEVER GIVE THEM RAW WHITE POTATOES (COOKED ARE OKAY).  NEVER GIVE THEM SEEDS OF THE PEPPERS, THEY ARE POISON TO A BIRD.  BEST RULE OF THUMB IS NOT TO GIVE SEEDS OF ANY VEGETABLE OR FRUIT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THEY ARE OKAY.

3.  I KEEP MY PEPPERS AND CUCUMBERS IN SEPARATE BAGS.  THEY TEND TO MAKE EVERYTHING TOO WET AND THEY WILL RUIN THE VEGGIE MIX.  I USUALLY CHOP ENOUGH VEGGIES FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS AND KEEP IN A CONTAINER IN THE FRIDGE.

4. P.M. - MIXED FRUIT AND NUTS.

ALMONDS - WALNUTS - BRAZIL NUTS - DRIED PAPAYA - DRIED PINEAPPLE - SOY NUTS - DRY ROASTED PEANUTS (UNSALTED) - ALMONDS - PECANS.

ALSO FRESH FRUIT :  APPLES (NO SEEDS) - ORANGES (NO SEEDS) - BANANAS - RED SEEDLESS GRAPES - WATERMELON - CANALOPE - MANGO - HONEYDEW

5.  NEVER GIVE AVACADO (THEY ARE POISON TO A BIRD).  ONLY GIVE TWO GRAPES, ONE CHUNK OF APPLE, ONE CHUNK OF ORANGE, ONE OR TWO SLICES OF BANANA (THEY USUALLY LOVE BANANA).  JUST GIVE ONE CHUNK OF WHATEVER FRUIT YOU CHOOSE FOR THE DAY.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE THEM ONE PC. OF EACH OF THE ABOVE.  MAKE YOUR OWN MIX.  MAKE UP YOUR NUT MIX AND PUT IN A TIGHTLY SEALED CONTAINER.  ENOUGH TO LAST ONE OR TWO WEEKS.  PUT CONTAINER IN FRIDGE.
