Flower Power

The Association of Avian Veterinarians says that a parrots diet should consist of 75% pellets and 25% fresh foods.

Fruits, Vegetables, seeds, nuts, and greens are rotated in my flocks diet…and now FLOWERS.

Im guessing that I am late to this game but edible flowers are so fun. These flowers are hollyhocks and I passed them out to the parrots, bunnies, and tortoise.

Ellie, my little naked one, was the first to dive in and take a taste.

Have you tried flowers with your parrots? The fresh hollyhocks were a hit with the big parrots while the cockatiels wanted nothing to do with them, yet.
