No captive diet can ever be as good as that in the wild, it is therefore necessary to routinely supplement your parrots diet with a range of scientifically tested supplements.

African Grey Parrots require a high intake of calcium to help support a healthy skeleton and maintain a balanced system. Calcium can only be absorbed when it is feed in conjunction with vitamin D3, a vitamin found in natural sunlight. The best supplements are the ones that contain these two ingredients premixed at the correct dosage. A general mineral and vitamin mix would also be beneficial

It is not necessary to provide parrots with grit.
