Feeding Conures

To keep my feathers so pretty, I have to eat lots of healthy foods. My mommy stopped feeding me seeds a couple months ago. She took me to "camp" while she was on vacation, and the birdsitter fed me lots of yummy food but no seeds! So by the time my mommy and papa came home, I was eating Nutriberries and pellets instead.

For breakfast I eat "enhanced" bean cuisine (mommy adds goodies like extra pasta and veggies), some Nutriberries, a vegetable (I love snap peas!) and sometimes a "dessert" like applesauce or other fruit. I also get pellets, but usually I just like to throw them out of my bowl. For dinner I get more Nutriberries and bean cuisine and lots of nibbles of whatever mommy eats.

This is how I love to eat grapes!

Since mommy and papa are home with me on the weekends, I get lots of special treats with them. Some of my favorite treats are:

• oatmeal with cinnamon

• grapes and plums

• pistachios

• orange sherbet

• hard parmesan cheese

• cereal (I like to lick the sweet stuff off Frosted Mini-Wheats)

When my beak gets dirty, I always wipe it on my mommy or papa's shirt!
