Macaw food

Question
I am about to rescue a special needs Military Macaw and I am trying to find out what brand of pellet diet is best for Macaws in general.


Answer
I prefer Harrison's (available online and through vets only) or Zupreem (which is more readily available. My vet also recommends: Scenic, Lafeber’s, Mazuri, Pretty Bird, and Kaytee Exact (www.epah.net). I prefer not to feed pellets with artifical colors/flavors.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your new macaw. You can also check out these great resources:
