Fresh food

Fresh food for birds

Fresh fruit and vegetables as well as culinary and wild herbs play a crucial role in bird nutrition. In addition to a high vitamin and mineral value, these natural foods provide the animals with tasteful variety. Moreover, fresh food not only stimulates the birds’ sense of taste. The smells of the fresh foods are very diverse, and so are their consistencies. With a varied diet, birds can thus train their tactile sense, for example, because they often touch their food extensively with their fleshy tongues before eating it.

In the attached chapters you will find advice on what fresh food is suitable for birds. In addition to the foods presented in the associated chapters, some food plants from nature can also be used as food for birds. The relevant information is currently being prepared for you. I hope that they will be available in English in spring 2022.

Work in progress – chapters about fruits, vegetables, and herbs will very soon be published here! (January 2022)
