Nutritional Information Links

These sites are in no particular order, and I don't necessarily personally agree with everything on every site. But I find them valuable for overall knowledge and as sources of information, as well reading the experiences of others who have a special interest in avian nutrition.

And finally, Naturally Healthy Pet is the site of the late Alicia McWatters, PhD, CNC, a nutritionist who dedicated her life to the study of nutrition issues in our pets, including extensive and intensive study of avian nutrition. Even if you haven't jumped on the organic, all-natural bandwagon, there are lots of facts about the subject as well as opinion; very valuable stuff! There are many articles there of great interest, but some of my favorites are:
Plant Enzymes: Providing Optimum Avian Health

Millet: Is It Nutritious for my Birds?
Are Sunflower Seeds For The Birds?
Why Food is Better Than Pellets
