Every parrot must have a bird feeder in its cage of some sort in which food can be served. It doesn't matter if you choose to feed your parrot a diet based on seeds or pellets, you still need a way to serve the food in bird feeders for parrots. You'll also need feeders in which to serve fresh fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, and other bird-safe, healthy human foods.
Bird feeders for parrots usually come as part of the cage your purchase for your parrot, but if you buy a cage that doesn't have feeder accessories, you'll have to purchase those separately. It is wise to select a cage for your parrot that has doors to access the bird feeders through, making removing and replacing food an easy, simple task. Some parrot cages have two openings for this purpose, one for food and one for water. Some cages have four openings, which is the better choice if available. However, you can always add another bird feeder for parrots into the cage so that you have a seed or pellet dish, a water container, and a fresh food container.
Every day you must remove any left-over food, clean the bird feeder for your parrot, replenish and replace the food containers. You must also remove and clean the water container daily. Do not skip this important task because bacteria can quickly grow in bird feeders, making your feathered friend sick. In hot weather, you will want to remove fresh foods within a few hours of serving them, especially any food that can spoil quickly such as meat, any food made with eggs, and even cooked vegetables.

A handy bird feeder for parrot that you may want to add to your accessories is a device that allows you to thread fresh fruits and vegetables onto a metal stick, screwing a wooden or plastic bead onto the end. These "kabob" devices can easily be purchased and hang from the interior of the cage to make fresh foods fun for your parrot to eat and convenient to serve. These kabobs are especially good for serving corn on the cob, slices of apple or other fruit, broccoli flowerets, and other vegetables and fruits that are large enough and sturdy enough to have a rod inserted into them without falling apart. This can save on clean-up time because the parrot can not toss the foods out of a food dish and into the bottom of the cage or onto your floor.
Some parrots, especially large ones, love to remove their bird feeders and water dishes. They then throw these out of the cage or dump them into the cage bottom. This not only wastes food, but it leaves a big mess for you to clean up. The solution is to purchase a locking bird feeder for parrots that can not be removed by your parrot. There are many different models on the market, even one that is for the bird that "nothing will stop". These may not be quite as easy for you to remove and clean, but it is worth the extra effort if your feathered friend is one that loves to toss the bird feeders for parrots around.
