About pellet diet

The common misconception is that seed-based diet is often perceived as something TOTALLY different than pellet diet. Well, newsflash - pellets are made out of seeds. I know it's shocking (I'm being sarcastic), but it's not that we are giving our parrots fish and chips all of a sudden. The problem with seed-based diet, or, we should call it whole seed-based diet, is that birds pick what they like, which might result - and if often does - in an imbalanced nutrition in terms of proteins, fats, and micronutrients. Whole-seed based diet is often too low in protein, too high in fat, and lacks micronutrients such as precursors for vitamin A, iodine, iron and it contains wrong calcium-phosphorus balance.
