Every month we discuss in Parrots magazine different spices, herbs, plants and foods that can greatly benefit our parrots. The highly nutritious diet achieved by parrots in the wild on a daily basis, certainly by those that come from South and Central America, is very hard to provide for in captivity, but just a spoonful or two of a few suggested pure and natural foods can give a huge boost to their diet. Also, now parrots are living for longer due to better healthcare generally, so they are suffering from old-age diseases such as cancers, diabetes and arthritis etc. and these powerful foods can often help to prevent or cure these diseases. Turmeric is discussed in the July issue!
