hi darrell
if you give your grey pellets you dont need to give any extra vitamins apparently

As John says, as long as you give a good, balanced diet, then no additional vitamins or supplements are needed, and with a Pellet diet, you know that is all taken care of, so, no need to worry

For any of us to answer your question, it would be great if you could tell us what do you feed your birdie, what condition your birds feathers are in etc

As has been said, you don't always need to give supplements to a birdie if it's on a good pelleted diet and has veg, but in some circumstances supplements can be given in conjunction with pellets and veg, depending on the needs of your birdie

I feed him on the Pretty Bird Pellets but going to change him onto Parrot Food Plumage Enhancer as to his feathers they are quite nice part from his tail feathers that look a little scraggy.

He won't need any vitamin supplements then Darrell

I use the Animal Zone Plumage Enhancer pellets too

That's great that you are changing him on to the Plumage Enhancer Pellets as they are very good 
The Pretty Bird ones are not the best ones on the market, so you're doing the right thing by changing 

So since you are changing his Pellets, you will not need to give supplements unless your advised to by your Avian Vet 

All three of mine are on AZ Pellets, but I do give Rosie supplements as told by my Avian Vet, but her case is slightly different from most on here due to her "condition"

i think it also depends on how many pellets your grey will eat. jasper eats a few,maybe five or six pieces a day,which i feel is nowhere near enough,so i do add extra calcium to his water. plus the probiotics he's having contain vitamin A so he does get extra there too. when i took him to see johnathan he says to carry on doing what i'm already doing as i'm doing the right thing 

[Tezza]

Absolutely Jules

If a vet advices a need for it, then you mus follow their advice
