African Greys require a varied and balanced diet. Given the choice they will live entirely on a diet of dry seeds with a high fat content, in particular sunflower seed, it is therefore essential that not only do they receive a varied diet but also that the fatty foods are fed in moderation. A good quality general parrot mixture will serve the purpose.

In addition approximately 50% of your birds diet should be made up of various fruits and vegetables, including apple, orange, sweet corn and spinach. All perishables should be fit for human consumption and thoroughly washed.

Fresh clean water should be available at all times.
