Want to save money and feed your parrot a healthier, more enriching diet? This guide shows you how to make your own dry mix at home using freeze-dried vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, and a human-grade seed blend. Learn why freeze-dried is better than air-dried, where to source quality ingredients, and how to customise your mix for optimal nutrition and variety.

Flowers aren’t just beautiful, they can also be a powerful source of enrichment and nutrition for parrots. From vibrant petals to calming herbs, many flowers are completely safe for parrots to chew, shred, and even eat. This guide explores a wide variety of non-toxic, parrot-safe flowers that can be offered fresh or dried, helping you bring natural variety into your bird’s diet and environment. Whether you’re making your own dry mix or creating a colourful foraging tray, these blooms add texture, scent, and stimulation that your parrot will love.
