Hey guys! I will be adopting a 3 year old macaw, Jaiden. Pic posted for more attention! I'm curious about a completely 'raw' diet. As in, no pellet or very minimal pellet. Probably -55% fresh vegetables- and sprouts, -5% fruits, -10% bugs (I own reptiles. So this would consist of 'freshly killed' crickets and mealworms- not freeze dried. As well as other proteins like egg on occasion -10% flowers -10% nuts -10% extra vitamin supplements and very minimal pellets I was also made aware she is hormonal and lays eggs at random, and I'm wondering if a completely natural diet may help her, as well as preventing measures. My Quaker currently is on a 20% pellets, the rest fresh veg, sprouts, and crickets. She never has a bad day, and is never grumpy, or hormonal. I kind of want to go 100% for her too. I currently use the pellets for foraging 'treats' I also make her work for most of her food, and try to replicate wild foraging techniques as best as possible. She is very alert and active, compared to my previous birds who were quite lazy. My Macaw I'll be adopting is also free flight trained, so she will have great opportunity to exercise and be active. I honestly just don't trust pellets, and see them more as being a supplement along with powder supplements. Opinions on this?
