Conure Food

Conures, like other pet birds, need a proper balance of carbs, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. In general, you should feed your conure about 2-3 teaspoons per day of a conure pellet or conure seed based conure food. About 5 to 10 percent of your conure’s diet should be bite sized fruits and vegetables like apples, and broccoli, and should be offered as conure food either daily or offered as conure food every couple days. Conure’s are vulnerable to vitamin A deficiencies as well as obesity and fatty liver problems and a balanced diet must be maintained at all times. By providing quality conure food and a diet that is well-rounded and complete, you are ensuring that your conure’s health is well maintained.

You will find the conure food to help keep your conure in great health and looking great.

Conure Seeds

Conure seeds are available at West Coast Pet Supply at our everyday low discount prices and are very convenient to feed your pet conure. In the wild conures will come into contact with a great variety of different seeds and nuts as different plants come into season and this makes your pet conure acclimatized to eating conure seeds. However, an all conure seed diet can tend to be high in fat and provide an unhealthy imbalance of nutrients and can lead to illness and shorter life expectancy. Prepared conure seed mixtures will usually include several different types of conure seeds, but your conure will probably pick the conure seeds they like the best out and leave the rest, making for poor nutrition and possible health problems. The solution to this problem is simple, just offer less conure seeds to convince your conure to eat all the conure seeds. In addition to fresh veggies and fruits your conure should be offered about a quarter to 2 cups of conure seeds per bird per day, depending on the size of the bird. Remember, conure seeds should only be a small part of your conure’s diet.

Conure Pellets

Conure pellets are a solution to complete nutrition for your conure. Conure pellets will meet all the nutritional needs of your conure and conure pellets are available and designed for specific conure species with different nutritional needs. It’s easy to start your conure on a conure pellet diet when your conure is young. Older birds will need to be trained to accept conure pellets as their main (or only) food source. The only downside to conure pellets is the fact that although conure pellets contain everything your conure needs for a healthy diet, your conure is loosing variety. Conures, and birds in general, love variety in their diet and can get bored quickly. Conure pellets are best used as a sort of conure food addition and enrichment tool for forage feeding or activities. Conure pellets can be fed as treats as well!
