Softbill Foods



Softbills feed mainly on fruits and to a lesser extent on leaves, buds, and flowers, occasionally taking small insects, snails and slugs.

In captivity, the following diet is recommended:

  • A dry mix of low-iron softbill diet (please refer to below)


  • mixed dried fruit


  • fresh vegetables and fruits, such as: sweet corn (frozen), carrots, iceburg lettuce (finely chopped), apples, pears, grapes, bananas, tomatoes, oranges (diced into 0.75 cm cubes)


  • grated mild cheese, hard boiled eggs


  • The Veggie Bites are a great source of nutrient-rich greens.

Foods to Feed Only in Moderation:
  1. Those veggies containing a high amount of oxalates. Some common examples include: spinach, chard, and bok choy.
  2. Fruits, which can provide too much sugar in the bird's diet.
  3. Diets that are based 100% on cooked beans/grains/pasta. These diets often have too much phosphorus and are very high in calories which can result in an obese bird.
  4. The diet should not be based on seeds. Seed diets contain too much fat and are deficient in many nutrients.
 
Foods to NEVER Feed:
  1. Caffeine
  2. Chocolate
  3. The pits of most fruits
