Diet
The diet that we feed the residents of P I rescue is varied and has the majority of fresh foods. There are many great feeds out there that are complete, pellet form and others and what we feed is our personal preference. The birds here thrive on the diet and many birds that have arrived on the thin side soon pick up to their correct body weight.
