Carbohydrate Blend
Cage life is generally a prison life for parrots. To make an explanation on this matter, the cage bird is a bird whose freedom is restricted. In some situations in which caged birds balance themselves in terms of minerals and protein in natural life, they also make up for the protein or carbohydrate deficiency. In such shortcomings, she searches for some food that her creator has bestowed and is able to heal herself. Since cage birds unfortunately do not have such an opportunity, you can meet the carbohydrate deficiency with the recipe we will give below. Cage birds may not complete their protein and carbohydrate deficiencies in a balanced way with the seeds and feeds we provide. Especially if we list some causes of disease in cage birds;
- Poor hair growth
- developmental disability,
- Decrease in egg size,
- Lack of melanin pigment in black-colored feathers,
- Increased susceptibility to bacterial, viral and fungal diseases,
- Decreased reproductive success
- body fat increase,
- High death rate.

- 1 potato,
- 2 tablespoons of rice,
- 2 tablespoons of pasta,
- 2 tablespoons of oats,
