Winter feeding at Loro Parque Fundación
The coldest months of the year are the best time to start forming new pairs. Parrots usually seek body contact for warmth and this is a factor that can be taken into account to facilitate the formation of stable pairs.
The fact that parrots can reproduce vigorously is directly related to their preparation in the colder seasons where winter is inevitable. During this season, the parrots that live in warm climates do not need a major dietary change, beyond the variety and healthiness of their food. However, in areas where thermal changes exist, the needs for calories and vitamins are different and parrots appreciate the availability of seasonal food in accordance with their surrounding climate.
