Vitamin A List
Vitamin A is essential for the overall health
of your bird. A vitamin A deficiency (Hypovitaminosis A) can
cause serious problems in the digestive tract and respiratory
system. Because all seed diets contain very little or no
vitamin A, we recommend a quality pellet diet (such as
Harrison or Lafeber) and supplementing with fresh vegetables
and fruit. Below is a list of vegetables and fruits that can
help provide vitamin A, from greatest amount (carrots), to
least (white grapefruit).
