hi everyone

just a quick post to let you all know that the best food for your grey or any parrot is now in season pomegranates there isnt a better food on the planet at the minute than the pommies there full of goodness there bursting with nutrients and the greys love em for 1 grey all you need do is cut the pommie into 4 pieces and cut each slice into bite pieces leave the skin on thats ok and feed 1 piece in the morning and 1 in the evening so 1 pommie will last 2 days there about 3 for a pound at the local market stall so go on you know your bird will enjoy them

i love pommies, i suppose i can give a baby any fruit and veg that is on the safe list, what i mean is there isn't anything that they need to be over a year or something before they can digest it,
