Food Parrot
What food to give a 12 week old african grey parrot ?

I would like to give fruits and veggie mixed in grinder to my parrot. Is it better to make it into paste or just grind it for a while and give it to be fed in a spoon ? How many times a day ?

Hand-feed him with baby food, like Pablam. My grandma was a breeder of many birds for about 30 years. She owned an African Grey and fed her Pablam when she was still a baby. She used syringes and sloowwwly eased it out into the birds mouth. Don’t gag the poor thing…or drown it.

It’s too young to eat apples and such. Hard food won’t be good for him (or her). As for how many times a day, I’m not sure really. I think Grandma fed hers at least a couple times/day. I was young then, so I don’t quite remember.

By the way, those are beautiful, intelligent birds. :) Treat it really well. My grandma’s used to tease the dog…calling him over to the cage then asking himif he wanted a bath lol.

The more you handle and talk to them, the friendly and less likely to bite they’ll be. Remember that part.
