Intro

Every living being has to eat to stay alive. But the amount of food is not the most important thing. The diversity in the diet is important. That is one factor that many bird owners neglect. In the wild birds pick out from quite the menu. While the average bird owner might pick a seed diet for their pet bird, that might not be the wisest solution. Bird pellets have become increasingly popular with owners. In this short article we will look at:

2 Bird Pellets

3 Conclusions from their differences

Bird Seeds

Birds adore seeds. There is no way around it, you can't have a pet bird and make it happy without giving it seeds. But seeds are not a complete meal. While they give your pet bird a lot of energy during the day they lack some micro and macronutrients that can severely impact the health of your pet. The large amounts of energy in the seeds that you feed your bird comes from the large percentage of fat that the average seed carry. With a pure seed diet, the immunity of your bird will probably suffer since the vast majority of seeds do not have a high percentage of minerals and vitamins.

To balance that out, you need to add some diversity to the diet of your bird. For example, add some fruits. Fruits will help you increase the intake of those much-needed vitamins. Oranges, kiwis, and lemons are a great pick to increase vitamin C. That vitamin is the key building block of every immune system, both human and animal. In the odd case that your bird is not a fan of fruit, you can try and smuggle some supplements between the seeds that feed it with.

Bird Pellets

Pellets are created based on the needs of your individual bird. While they might cost more, they give you something that is priceless, the security that your bird will live a long, healthy, and able life. The average pellet is the ideal, balanced combination of all the nutritional needs that your pet bird will need, unlike a bird seed. But don't just rush out and buy the first bird pellet. There are still those who try and cheat the system with many artificial colors. Just like when you are on a strict diet, you have to read every single ingredient list with the utmost patience and attention.

Bird, like children, will not eat something just because it is healthy. The switch between those two types of food can be frustrating. There are birds that will literally go on their own version of a hunger strike.

Conclusions from their Differences

Bird love seeds, but seeds are more similar to a pizza or a burger than some wholesome food that offers a full nutritional specter. Always ask your veterinarian for help. Since the switch from seeds to a mix of seeds and pellets can be quite frustrating, the advice of your veterinarian could be a game-changer. Be wise and feed your bird to its needs, not to its desires.
