Lovebird nutrition !

Pelleted diets, made in a small size are available for Fischer’s lovebirds and provide balanced nutrition in every bite. Seeds can be given as treats. Fischer’s lovebirds should also be offered small mounts of fresh dark green leafy vegetables, tiny slices of apple, grapes, melons and sprouts. Boiled eggs or commercial egg food are excellent for young and breeding Fischer’s lovebirds, but care must be taken in avoiding contamination. Vitamin supplementation is not necessary if the bird eats a pelleted diet.

Historically, Fischer’s lovebirds have been fed only seed mixes. While they can survive for an extended period of time on such a diet, eventually they fall into poor health.

Contrary to popular belief, Fischer’s lovebirds do not need grit.
