Large Conure Feeding Guide
Posted by A guide to feeding your Large Conure, Large Conures, Conures, Large Conure food on 12/1/2024
Like all Parrots, your Large Conure’s diet should be as varied as possible. We suggest using a complete or pelleted food as a base diet, approximately 60% with the remainder of the diet comprising of vegetables, sprouting seeds, fruits, nuts, seeds plus other treats.
Placing food and treats inside foraging toys encourages your Large Conure to
feed as nature intended, searching for, finding and retrieving their food.

Please Note
We would always advise buying the smallest bag/pack possible to trial your
Parrot with. It can take some time and persistence to introduce a new food. It
may be worth having a second bowl of water next to your Conure’s food bowl, as
many enjoy dunking their food before eating it. Always have fresh water
available.
