BIRDS
REQUIRE A WELL-BALANCED DIET THAT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS
TO MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH AND PREVENT DEFICIENCIES. ONE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT THAT
BIRDS NEED IS VITAMIN E, WHICH ACTS AS AN ANTIOXIDANT TO PROTECT CELLS AND
TISSUES FROM DAMAGE CAUSED BY FREE RADICALS. VITAMIN E ALSO PLAYS A ROLE IN
IMMUNE FUNCTION, REPRODUCTION, AND NERVE FUNCTION.
WHILE COMMERCIAL BIRD
FEED AND SUPPLEMENTS CAN PROVIDE VITAMIN E, MANY BIRD OWNERS PREFER TO
INCORPORATE NATURAL SOURCES OF THIS NUTRIENT INTO THEIR BIRD’S DIETS. HERE'S A
BREAKDOWN OF THE APPROXIMATE VITAMIN E CONTENT IN SOME COMMON SEEDS, NUTS,
LEAFY GREENS, FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR BIRDS.
SEEDS AND
NUTS: SUNFLOWER SEEDS,
PEANUTS, ALMONDS, BRAZIL NUTS, PUMPKIN SEEDS, AND HAZELNUTS ARE ALL HIGH IN
VITAMIN E AND MAKE GREAT ADDITIONS TO A BIRD'S DIET. SEEDS AND NUTS ARE ALSO
GREAT SOURCES OF PROTEIN AND HEALTHY FATS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR A BIRD'S
OVERALL HEALTH.
SUNFLOWER
SEED: 100 GRAMS OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY
35.17 MG OF VITAMIN E.
PEANUTS: 100 GRAMS OF PEANUTS CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 8.33 MG OF VITAMIN E.
ALMONDS: 100 GRAMS OF ALMONDS CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 26.2 MG OF VITAMIN E.
BRAZIL
NUTS: 100 GRAMS OF BRAZIL NUTS
CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 7.6 MG OF VITAMIN E.
HAZELNUTS: 100 GRAMS OF HAZELNUTS CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 15 MG OF VITAMIN E.
PUMPKIN
SEEDS: 100 GRAMS OF PUMPKIN
SEEDS CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 35.1 MG OF VITAMIN E.
LEAFY GREENS: SPINACH, KALE, COLLARD GREENS, AND SWISS CHARD ARE
ALL GOOD SOURCES OF VITAMIN E AND CAN BE OFFERED TO BIRDS IN SMALL QUANTITIES.
LEAFY GREENS ARE ALSO RICH IN OTHER VITAMINS AND MINERALS, MAKING THEM AN
EXCELLENT ADDITION TO A BIRD'S DIET. SOME BIRDS MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN THESE
TYPES OF GREENS, SO IT MAY TAKE SOME EXPERIMENTATION TO FIND A TYPE THAT YOUR
BIRD ENJOYS. THEN SURE TO WASH AND CHOP THE GREENS BEFORE OFFERING THEM TO YOUR
BIRD.
SPINACH: 100 GRAMS OF SPINACH CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MG OF VITAMIN E.
KALE: 100 GRAMS OF KALE CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY
1.54 MG OF VITAMIN E.
COLLARD
GREENS: 100 GRAMS OF COLLARD
GREENS CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 1.7 MG OF VITAMIN E.
SWISS
CHARD: 100 GRAMS OF SWISS CHARD
CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 1.89 MG OF VITAMIN E.
FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES: FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
ARE OTHER GREAT SOURCES OF VITAMIN E FOR BIRDS. MANGO, KIWIS, PAPAYAS,
BLACKBERRIES, SWEET POTATOES, BROCCOLI, CARROTS, AND RED BELL PEPPERS ARE ALL
GOOD SOURCES OF THIS NUTRIENT. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE ALSO GOOD SOURCES OF
FIBER AND OTHER NUTRIENTS THAT CAN HELP KEEP A BIRD'S DIGESTIVE SYSTEM HEALTHY.
BE SURE TO REMOVE ANY SEEDS OR PITS FROM THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES BEFORE
OFFERING THEM TO YOUR BIRD. AS WELL AS FRUITS ARE ALSO HIGH IN SUGAR AND SHOULD
BE OFFERED IN MODERATION.
MANGO: 100 GRAMS OF MANGO CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY
0.9 MG OF VITAMIN E.
KIWIS: 100 GRAMS OF KIWIS CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY
1.46 MG OF VITAMIN E.
PAPAYAS: 100 GRAMS OF PAPAYAS CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 0.3 MG OF VITAMIN E.
BLACKBERRIES: 100 GRAMS OF BLACKBERRIES CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 1.17 MG OF VITAMIN E.
SWEET
POTATOES/BOILED: 100
GRAMS OF SWEET POTATOES CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 0.26 MG OF VITAMIN E.
BROCCOLI: 100 GRAMS OF BROCCOLI CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 0.78 MG OF VITAMIN E.
CARROTS: 100 GRAMS OF CARROTS CONTAIN
APPROXIMATELY 0.66 MG OF VITAMIN E.
RED BELL
PEPPERS: 100 GRAMS OF RED BELL
PEPPERS CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 0.37 MG OF VITAMIN E.
BUTTERNUT
SQUASH: 100 GRAMS OF BUTTERNUT
SQUASH CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 0.2 MG OF VITAMIN E.
WHEAT GERM: WHEAT GERM IS ANOTHER NATURAL SOURCE OF VITAMIN E
THAT CAN BE ADDED TO A BIRD'S DIET. THIS NUTRIENT-RICH FOOD CAN BE SPRINKLED ON
TOP OF A BIRD'S REGULAR FOOD OR MIXED IN WITH ITS SEEDS AND PELLETS. HOWEVER,
IT IS IMPORTANT TO AVOID FEEDING BIRDS ANY PRODUCTS CONTAINING WHEAT IF THEY
HAVE A KNOWN SENSITIVITY OR ALLERGY TO THIS GRAIN.
WHEAT
GERM: 100 GRAMS OF WHEAT GERM
CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 149 MG OF VITAMIN E.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT WHILE NATURAL SOURCES OF VITAMIN E ARE IMPORTANT FOR A BIRD'S HEALTH,
THEY SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLE SOURCE OF THIS NUTRIENT. A BALANCED AND VARIED DIET
THAT INCLUDES A MIX OF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, SEEDS, AND PELLETS IS THE BEST WAY
TO ENSURE THAT A BIRD IS GETTING ALL OF THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS THEY NEED.
IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING
NATURAL SOURCES OF VITAMIN E, IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT A BIRD HAS
ACCESS TO CLEAN, FRESH WATER AT ALL TIMES. WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR DIGESTION,
HYDRATION, AND OVERALL HEALTH.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT
HOW TO PROVIDE YOUR BIRD WITH A BALANCED DIET, CONSULT WITH A VETERINARIAN OR
AVIAN SPECIALIST. THEY CAN HELP YOU DEVELOP A DIET PLAN THAT MEETS YOUR BIRD'S
SPECIFIC NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND ENSURE THAT YOUR FEATHERED FRIEND STAYS HEALTHY
AND HAPPY.
