What will i supply to my lovebird (parenting)?

1. What do you mean by (egg food) as said it is the most important to supply the lovebird to feed their young.





2. what is the perfect diet for lovebirds? what food for morning and what for evening?What will i supply to my lovebird (parenting)?
You can get eggfood at a pet shop. Replace it at the end of each day. Or you could boil an egg and mash it up for them, its just as good. It provides protein for the growing chicks.





The perfect diet for them is -





Harrison's organic bird pellets (never get coloured pellets, Harrison's are the only ones I would trust)





Fresh sprouts every day. (you can buy fresh sprouts at supermarkets or sprout them youself.)





Fresh greens, fruit and veg (NEVER feed avocado though, it poisons them, potato is not very safe either)





Cuttlefish bone (very important especially when breeding! If the hen dosn't get enough calcium to make the eggshell, her body will leach the calcium from her own bones to make the eggs. Also, if she dosn't get enough calcium, the eggs could be softshelled.)





Seeds arent nessecary with this diet. No bird can live on entirly seeds, they will die early and/or cost you heaps in vet bills.





This is the perfect diet whether they are breeding or not. Some birds are stubborn when trying new foods, but PERSIST and they will soon switch to the a healthy diet.





This is the best diet for your birds.





Good luck.What will i supply to my lovebird (parenting)?
All of my birds are on Zupreem pellets and a small amount of seed. We dust the food with a vitamin called ';Prime';. The egg food comes in a little plastic container and simply looks like little bits of dehydrated egg. It's made by Higgins and has a purple/mustard yellow label with a purple cap and says snack attack Pro-Teen 25 nestling egg food on the label.An 8oz jar will last a pretty good while and costs around $3 to $4.


As for the seed part of the food, use eggcite. It again has the extra nutrients in it and is better than the plain seed. We use the same foods for morning and evening. Of course give them fresh fruits and veggies daily. Boiled eggs are great for them and even small amounts of pasta, potatoes, meats such as chicken etc.


Just be sure and remove any that's left once they're done eating the fresh foods. They can spoil quickly and make the bird sick.


If you want to go a step further, you can make birdie muffins for them.





This is a basically a cornbread recipe, which many birds find irresitable, with a few modifications. You can make it from scratch or you can take the easy approach by just preparing a box of Jiffy brand cornbread according to the package directions.


For added calcium, wash the egg really well, then add the egg shell, FINELY crushed, to the batter. [This means you won't be able to share though!]


For added vitamin A, add a small jar of sweet potato or carrot baby food [check the labels of different brands and compare!] or just add about 1/2 cup mashed yams.


You can also add finely chopped veggies to the batter, or whatever you like! Broccoli florets and grated carrots work well. You can also add raisins, nuts...get creative! Pour mixture into paper cupcake holders in a cupcake pan. Fill them only 1/2 way. Cook according to recipe instructions.


Once thoroughly cooled, put them in a freezer bag and freeze. Thaw one as needed. Birds seem to prefer them a tad bit warm so we microwave one muffin for a few seconds once thawed and split with all the birds daily.


Yes, they're spoiled!
you can find egg food at petsmart. i boil eggs for my lovies and feed it to them in a seperate dish. also, i will mash up a banana and mix it with seeds. give them lots of fresh veggies. that's all healthy for them
