My parrot will not eat more balls?
My children ate Alexandrine parakeet pellets, fruits and vegetables. But after trying more "exciting" cooked food like eggs, nuts and seeds that will not eat pellets and fruits and vegetables! I put pellets in his dish, but he keeps screaming and begging for food other. What I do? I will not starve him. Are you going to eat the tablets of time?
I do not blame ... move in a more natural diet of mixed seed, fresh fruit and vegies and pasta and soft grains. ON THE SUBJECT OF PILLS Let's talk about the additives in pellets. Ethoxyquin: listed and identification of a chemical dangerous hard by OSHA. Originally used to preserve rubber. This is not allowed in human food and some believe it is a chemical that they want in their bird food. The FDA has asked manufacturers to voluntarily reduce their use in pet foods and is in the process of deciding whether or not prohibit the use of all. The bodies of bird can not get rid of her like a dog or cat and then builds up and causes problems. Ethoxyquin promotes kidney carcinogenesis, significantly increases the incidence of stomach tumors, improves bladder carcinogenesis and urinary bladder carcinogenesis. Cancers of this type are the most lethal, higher quality, the effects being seen among animals faster. artificial colors: Most people are aware of the toxic side effects of artificial colors and flavors derived from coal tar as Red # 40, a possible carcinogen, and Yellow # 6, which causes sensitivity to virus fatal in animals. Artificial colorings cause discoloration of yellow feathers in Eclectus. BHT / BHA: These petroleum products are used to stabilize fats in foods. In the process of metabolizing BHA and BHT, chemical changes occur in the body. These changes have caused reduced growth rates and inhibit white blood cell stimulation. In animals, it may have reactions such as blistering of the skin, eye bleeding, weakness, discomfort in breathing, reducing the body's own antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase and can cause cancer. According to Dr. Wendell Belfield, DVM, a veteran of the practice of some 26 years, both BHA and BHT are known to cause liver dysfunction and kidney disease and are banned in some European countries. Propylene glycol: Used as aircraft deicing fluid, this chemical is added to foods and skin products to maintain texture and moisture as well as inhibition of growth of bacteria in products. It also inhibits the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, reducing the amount of moisture in the intestinal tract, which constipation and cancer. This can affect the liver and kidneys and cause destruction of red blood cells. Sal: Added as a preservative, salt can irritate the stomach, substance involved in chemical reactions in the body that becomes carcinogenic. Also used in pet foods to add color. Sugar and other sweeteners: most common sweeteners in food animals or birds are sugar beet, corn sugar, molasses and sucrose. They are used as preservatives and has the effect collateral creating sugar addicts in pets. That require almost no digestion and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. This will provide levels sugar (just as humans experience) and subsequent low (mood swings), inhibit the proper growth of friendly gut bacteria and virtually close the digestive system, while being processed. Sugar can also contribute to diabetes and hypoglycemia, cataract development, obesity and arthritis. Go to your closet and get your pellets out and see how many of these additives are in the brand you buy. If there is more to the list of ingredients and do not know what it is, find out. Here are some that is not what a bird would natually in regular food and building these things in the system of the birds in the time and cause harm to your bird, ferrous carbonate, cobalt carbonate, folic acid, artificial colors, copper oxide, propionic acid (preservative), Ethoxyquin (preservative), sodium, thus attached to the name on the front and rear is also one of sodium is a salt form, pyridoxine hydrochloride high doses can cause gastrointestinal distress and chronic administration of large doses has been associated with neurological side effects. Do your research or ask questions to someone who can find you. Did you see the natural ingredients in its list of ingredients for pellets? Why not feed the articles in their fresh, natural state in its place? How pellets to your cell? (This list may need updating ... check labels!)

It is also very easy to a grain mill to add poor quality grains, including those moldy, dirty and infested with insects, in a mixture of pellets. Once everything was dirt and tight, you know? The buyer also has no idea whether the quality control is in place. Supplements too much or too little can be added by a mixer and neglect will not know until the birds start dropping dead or sick. The fat in a mixture of pellets is more likely to be rancid fat in the fresh seeds in shell. Is much more difficult to hide the poor quality of seeds. If seeds are dirty or if they are moldy, may reject them. You do not have to feed your birds. With pellets, you can only expect the best. Nobody knows what they contain. If you feel the need to add supplements to the natural diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and seeds, you can adjust the quantity and type of supplement to the needs of your bird. When you feed pellets, you are stuck with what has been added by the manufacturer.''The **** protein levels in pellets are generally higher for some cockatoos to manage and can result in kidney disease and gout of this breed of bird and some other races too. iron toxicity and toxicity of vitamin D have both been related to food pellets also, these problems have begun have begun to surface in the last couple of years. You do not hear enough about the small parrots weaned to pellets with a quantity of some nutrients are adequate have resulted in perosis or, more commonly known as a twist of the leg bones. Low levels of choline in the diet of pellets produced may be the cause of this.
