When I rescued my bird, the previous owner said that he would eat only peanuts, coffee and toast!!! Fortunately, a vet check-up deemed him in great shape despite the poor diet and smokey environment where he lived. My vet demands that the cockatoo be switched to a 100% pellet diet using HARRISON’S commercial pellets. Everything I read prescribes a varied diet to include mixed seeds and fresh food along with pellets. He delights in eating nuts from the shell including walnuts, hazel nuts, pecans and Brazil nuts. I am offering 2/3 pellets and 1/3 seed mixture and most of it is eaten (or on the floor of the cage) each day. My bird delights in drinking cranberry juice and apple juice from a cup while I have my coffee which I know is a poison for birds. He throws all fresh food out of his cup but will take cooked meat and whipped cream if I feed it by hand. I would love to hear from other cockatoo owners about their success with food for their bird.
