Is Citris Bad for a Bird’s Diet?

I have attached some charts for you to look at. You might want to study acid, alkaline, and the combination of neutral acid alkaline foods better as you make recommendations for feeding birds.

With a variety of perches in the cage, your bird’s feet will always be working as he moves about the cage. In our various bird care newsletters, we have talked about different kinds of perches ranging from bird warmers to Booda soft rope perches.
