Kakariki Nutrition

Proper nutrition is essential for the overall health and well-being of Kakariki parrots. Their diet should consist of a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, high-quality pellets, and seeds. Leafy greens like kale and spinach, along with fruits such as apples and berries, provide essential vitamins and minerals. It’s important to avoid high-fat and sugary foods, as well as toxic items like avocado and chocolate. Fresh water should always be available to keep them hydrated. Providing a balanced diet not only supports their physical health but also enhances their vibrant plumage and energy levels. Supplements, such as cuttlebone for calcium, can also be beneficial. Monitoring their diet and adjusting it based on their activity level and health can help maintain their optimal nutrition. Regularly offering a variety of foods can also prevent picky eating and ensure a well-rounded diet.
