Protein Sources

Portland pet birds need a well-rounded, nutrient-rich diet for optimal health. Local produce, such as fresh, in-season fruits and veggies found at farmers markets and co-ops, can add flavor and nutrition to their meals. Ensuring the right amount of protein, from sources such as cooked lean meats and hard-boiled eggs, is essential, as well as providing birds with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Moderation should be exercised when offering treats such as unsalted nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit to avoid adverse health effects. With a diverse and balanced diet, Portland pet birds will thrive with energy, vibrant health, and happy chirps.
