Question

Answer
Hi, Jose,

"Soft" food is any food that is not "hard."  Some examples:

Soft foods:  cooked brown rice, vegetables, fruits, whole/multi grain breads, etc.

Hard foods:  seed, pellets

Your parrots need a variety of healthy, nutritious human foods, in addition to pelleted food, in order to remain healthy and happy.  Seed is high in fat and low in nutritional value and should be offered as an occasional treat or reward for positive behavior.  A poor diet for a parrot is an all-seed diet.
