What should a cockatiel's diet consist of?

A cockatiel's diet should consist of species-specific pellets and some grass seed, some fresh vegetables, and some fresh fruits, as well as clean water. Some fresh foods to avoid include unripe fruit, garlic, onions, as well as avocado.

What is the best type of food for cockatiels?

Pelleted food is often the preferred main cockatiel food. Pellets contain a balanced mix of nutrients, so cockatiels can't pick out favorite items to eat, and then miss out on vital nutrition.

What fruits and veggies can cockatiels not eat?

Fruits and veggies to avoid include unripe or rotten fruit or vegetables, onions, garlic, and avocado. Remove any fruit seeds, pits, or stems. Cockatiels also should not eat rhubarb, chocolate, or anything with the artificial sweetener xylitol.

How many times a day should a cockatiel eat?

Many people give their cockatiel access to cockatiel food (specialty bird pellets) all day. Check the cockatiel food label for manufacturers' recommendations on amounts to feed. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be offered several times a day for snacking. Remove any uneaten fresh foods after a few hours before they spoil. Consult your avian vet to determine the best feeding schedule for your cockatiel.
