Grains help maintain optimum health due to the phytochemicals they contain – many of which are still being identified. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring chemicals which give plant foods their color and flavor, and they help fight disease.

 

Phytochemicals can help to protect against diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2-diabetes, and cancer.  

Hundreds of different phytochemicals exist in whole grains so let's take a look at a few grains that you might want to feed your parrots.

As with everything, feed in balance and moderation. Keep watch on behavior, weight, and over all health through REGULAR Vet visits.
