judygram Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 No you do not need to put any vitamins in the drinking water, if you are feeding a balance diet with lots of veggies then they get what they need, if not then only on the advice of an avian vet.

Baird Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Hi Dear, Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in foods we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you should. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play. For example: Vitamin D in milk helps your bones. Vitamin A in carrots helps you see at night. Vitamin C in oranges helps your body heal if you get a cut. B vitamins in leafy green vegetables help your body make protein and energy.

bran Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi There! It's awesome that you are getting into the nutritional aspects of your grey's health. I was also on the quest for nutritional "balance" and I stumbled upon a video of a process called "chop". http://parrotnation.com/2010/11/24/autumn-chop/ it inspired me to not only get as much education as possible on nutrition, but also look further into the world of aviculture! I got so much advice from this forum, and from other people out there, that it has made my journey a little bit easier. I even started my own blog because of it. Here's one of my many times making "chop" http://parrotearth.com/2011/03/28/chop/ It's really fun to make, inexpensive, and healthy as well! Hope all this helps! Congratulations on taking the right steps into your parrot's future!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
