| About Our Birds |
The diet your parrot is on depends mainly on
the species you own (or that owns you). The
parrots we raise need to be on a pellet based
diet (your Veterinarian will tell you this). A
pellet based diet not only helps your bird look
his best, but plays a part in how long your
parrot lives. If someones parrot is not already
on a pellet based diet, it can be a challenge to
convert them over. The birds we sell are
already on a pellet based diet.
We are committed to raising happy-healthy
birds here at Wisconsin Parrots. So how do we
do that???
1. Diet. Our birds eat a pellet based diet
supplemented with cooked whole grains,
beans, vegetables, fruit, nuts, birdy bread, and
a little bit of seed daily. I guess it works out to
about 60% pellet, 30% grain/vegetable/fruit
mix, and 10% seed.(we feel that a little seed is
good for them).
We feed Zupreem Natural pellets.
The seed is Sun Seed.
These are fine products, and along with the
other foods listed above, we feel that we have a
healthy flock of birds. You can see that these
birds are healthy.
2. We do not sell un-weaned babies, nor do we
force wean our babies. We do not have a
schedule we follow to tell us when to stop hand
feeding our birds, we let the birds tell us when
they are weaned. This helps the birds be more
trusting towards us, and leads to a much
sweeter pet.
3. Proper fledging. Say what? We make sure
that all of our baby birds become good fliers
before any wings are trimmed. We spend time
on this daily. This helps to insure that you get
a confident bird. If a bird can maneuver with
confidence, there is less of a chance of injury.
Trimming or not trimming wings is a personal
choice. After fledging, any bird for sale gets
trimmed (unless a customer wants a fully
flighted bird). We do this because when we are
showing our birds to someone we can't have
them flying all over the house.
We personally don't trim our pet birds wings.
Fully flighted birds can be a pain though. We
do recommend trimming wings to our
customers.

disadvantages of wing clipping.
