I’ve found the store bought foods to be lacking, many don’t have the vitamin K conures need to avoid conure bleeding syndrome and I’m getting a new Jenday conure and I want to make sure he has the best and healthiest…….My sun conure, Vergil (Rest in Peace baby bird….), passed due to conure bleeding syndrome, it wasn’t until inspecting his foods that we found the store bought diets didn’t have enough vitamin K (their nutritionally complete claim is false, learn from my mistake, always read every ingredient, “source of vitamin K activity” does NOT mean real vitamin K!) so, to make sure this mistake never happens again, I plan on making my own bird food for the new conure to make sure they have real vitamin K and that the nutrients they get are the real deal and not chemically altered junk.

Does anyone know any sites that list bird friendly foods along with the vitamins and nutrients those foods contain? Or does anyone know what vitamin K containing foods could be added to a conure diet to avoid conure bleeding syndrome? I had never lost a bird before Vergil and I don’t want to face this heartbreak again nor lose the life of such a loving creature due to false bird food company claims again! I want to make sure they have the very best foods that fit their needs perfectly instead of putting my feathered kid’s health in the hands of companies making false claims to get a sale!

Please, I’ve been searching the net and having a hard time finding the info I need, does anyone know any resource sites I can use that tell me what vitamins and nutrients are in what bird safe foods that I could use in the diet for the new Jenday Conure?
