Discount Pet Medicine
When researching discount pet medicine and feed I found this article about bird diets. Diet is the most important factor in your bird's life. A poor diet can be the underlying cause of many health problems. Pellets are the only diet that can offer complete and balanced nutrition. Your bird's diet should be at least 90% pellets. The remaining 10% can be any treat. Fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, beans, seed, and many other foods are acceptable treats. By converting your bird to a pelleted diet, you will be adding several years to his life span and enhancing that life by preventing many nutritionally related health problems. Your bird will look and act healthier. The feathers will be brilliantly colored with fewer stress marks. In short, putting your bird on pellets will be the best thing you can ever do for you bird. Persistence is the key to a better diet for your bird. You must first believe that you are doing the best for your bird. It is very important to monitor your bird's droppings during and after the conversion process. If the droppings turn to a dark green or black, then it is an indication that he is not eating enough. At this point give a little more seed or the bird's usual diet, and simply prolong the converting process. Your bird's droppings will change during the conversion. This should not be alarming. The droppings may become loose or watery and may change color. These changes are temporary, but, if they persist, then call your avian veterinarian.
