We are presently in an era where bird diets come in many forms. Some popular
food items served are seeds, nuts, pellets, dried fruits and vegetables, fresh
fruits, vegetables, sprouts, cooked beans/grains, pasta, and breads. We all know
variety is the “spice of life” so some bird owners offer a combination or mixture of
many of these items. While every bird owner has their favorite way to feed their
birds, one thing we all have in common is the desire to provide the best possible
diet and environment for our birds.
This book was written to guide those who are interested in natural feeding, natural
medicine, and natural health for birds. Many of the drug treatments currently being
used in veterinary medicine I believe are dangerous and often more so than the
disease itself. While not every disease can be treated in a natural way and certain
conditions will require conventional medicine, many of the illnesses we find our
birds prone to are nutritionally based and therefore diet and nutrition play an
enormous role in their recovery from illness. We must acknowledge that disease
occurs for predictable reasons and often because the diet is deficient and
nutritional solutions are overlooked. There are no mystery diseases. You can
protect your bird from disease before it starts, through proper nutrition and a
suitable environment. May your bird’s health be enhanced and their lives be
extended as a result of a natural diet and a healthy lifestyle.
