Our park has adopted a parrot that has lived on a diet of nothing but potato waffles?!?

Question

How can we wean her off them onto a normal parrot diet? I was thinking maybe using boiled potatoes etc but for now do we have to feed her waffles until she gets used to her new surroundings? (it doesn't feel right to be feeding a parrot waffles!)

Answer 1

fruits and vegetables they LOVE!!!!! but after giving her potato waffles i would still give her some waffles but add a little bit of fruits and veggies like pineapple, oranges, melons, berries, and apple. but take this part slowly after about four to six days of putting those things in she will begin to love them!!!!! and in about a week or so thats all you will be giving her!!!!also no AVOCADOS!!!!!!avocados are very toxic and cause the bird to have a serious illness!!!!hope i could help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAYSHAYICE!!!!!!!!p.s. boiled and cooked food for the bird is not the best bet.birds like fresh non cooked fruits and veggies!!!again hope i coul help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHAYSHAYICE!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 2

i have a parrot and she eats potatoes but sweet potatoes.which are far more better for them as it as essential vitamins,parrots have a good diet which is best kept to.veg/fruit and there dried fruit,DO NOT GIVE PARROTS ADVOCADO IT IS POISONOUS TO THE PARROT.and i do not give fruit/veg that contains seeds.i would definately rule out waffles asap.always good to read up first cheers
