예쁜 딸을 낳은 혜진이를 보러 산부인과에 들렀다가 저녁을 먹으러 평거동에 있는 오무(ohmoo)에 들렀다. 평소에 먹던 음식들과는 완전히 색다른 맛이다. 이국의 맛이다. 십 년 전쯤 유럽에서 먹었던 음식들이 생각난다. 음식맛이 괜찮다. #오무 #ohmoo #산청 #산청군 #o_20170402

I'm thinking about getting a cockatiel soon, but I'm not sure what type of food to give it. I've researched a little and have come to the conclusion that I should give it a mixture of pellets and seeds, and the occasional fruit/vegetable. Do you think this is a reasonable idea? What do you suggest?

The occasional fruit and vegetable shouldn’t be occasional, it should be a highly varied amount of fresh vegetables on a daily basis! Since cockatiels are dominantly ground foragers their diet mainly consists of seeds, grasses, leaves, and sprouts in the wild with some fruits from time to time. By not providing them with a great variety of vegetables/ sprouts daily you would be leaving them nutrient deficient! With cockatiels they can be fed seed but it is best to be made of organic seeds from your local grocery store as most seed bags will be low quality seeds and potentially filled with dust from factories, human-grade seeds have higher health standards and as a result tend to be much healthier. “Cockatiel” seed mixes are commonly filled with high-fat seeds such as sunflower or safflower which usually causes these birds to become overweight and develop liver diseases as well so if you do go with a store bought seed mix it’s best to find one that isn’t as high in fat. Pellets are much better nutrition for a parrot, they provide the essential nutrients they need as well as fulfilling nutrient requirements of things that are commonly lacking in an avian diet. Pellets are usually lower in fat which is a major plus for captive birds since most of them will not be provided with enough exercise (compare running around or flying in a house to flying for miles on end in the wild to burn off fat).

here’s a food pyramid to take a look at!
