Our new baby's diet

[james_uk]

We've had a couple of days now and have been d

Feeding him the following

At all times theres a bowl of jolleys fruit parrot mix

And In the morning and evenings he gets a mixed bowl of

Celery, banana, few grapes and apple (going to swap some of these tomorrow with some different things as we're trying to work out what's best

Also been hand feeding him the occasional shelled peanut

 

Are we missing anything vital here?

 

Kind regards

James

You don't mention any pellets, he needs to be provided some pellets at all times.

The bowl of parrot mix is good but you need to include more veggies in his morning and evening bowls, celery doesn't have much in the way of nutrition and the other things you are feeding are fruits, they do not need much fruit so give those every other day or so. Try giving carrots, peas, green beans, leafy green vegetables like kale, mustard, beet tops and collards. Sweet potatoes, squash, peppers, broccoli are good to give, also you can give him some cooked beans, rices and other legumes along with the veggies, a little pasta occasionally is popular.

Yes peanuts are ok as long as they are the unsalted kind and other nuts are fine to feed too, pecans, walnuts and such.

A little protein now and then is good, a little cooked chicken, some egg and even a chicken bone, they crack open the bone and eat the marrow inside.
