Berries are abundant in the hedgerows and in our gardens at the moment, and we shouldn't let this chance to boost our parrots' diet pass us by. They are extremely nutritious, but also provide an exciting and fun-filled foraging and exercising work-out if whole branches full of ripe berries are offered and fixed high up in their flights.
Berries can also be picked and frozen very successfully to extend their relatively short season, and brought out as a cheery treat in winter. Have a look at Jim Hayward's article on the subject in the October issue, which has just come out, and find out the best berries to pick!
