Fruits, vegetables & nuts
This book is only aviable in German.
Superfood for parrots, parakeets, other ornamental birds and ornamental poultry
This specialist book helps bird owners and breeders with nutritional planning and practical feeding. Which variety is suitable for which species? How and why should the respective variety be used in feeding? The suitability of different types of fruit and vegetables, including both classic and trendy varieties, is also determined. An extra chapter highlights nuts. Species suitability has been determined for parrots and parakeets (with a separate section on budgerigars and large parrots) as well as for canaries, finches, woodland and finch birds, soft feeders and ornamental poultry.
The explanations on the mode of action are particularly valuable. For example, there are varieties that promote calming, strengthen the immune system or support the gastrointestinal tract. But attention is also drawn to risky varieties with hazardous ingredients or high sugar content. Even supportive fresh food for young birds (rearing) and during moulting is included.
Tips for the practical preparation, storage and preservation of fresh food are included in each variety portrait. A detailed, comprehensive nutrient table with all varieties (minerals, vitamins ...) rounds off the reference book.
For more safety in feeding and a healthy diet, the following people have contributed to this book: Volker Oertel was a member of the editorial staff of the trade magazine PAPAGEIEN for many years. He has always had a particular fondness for neotropical parakeets and white-bellied parrots, which he has studied intensively in his own practical husbandry.
Prof. Dr. med. vet. Petra Wolf is a veterinarian and holds the Chair of Nutritional Physiology and Animal Nutrition at the University of Rostock. She is a veterinary specialist in animal nutrition and an internationally highly regarded expert and sought-after consultant on feeding issues.
