Fruit & Veg should be a large part of your Eclectus daily diet. Their extra long digestive tract & extra high sensitivity to the environment & foods compared to other parrot species means you need to be careful with the diets you put them on. The larger the variety of fruit & veg the better. An Eclectus diet is ideally 80% soft foods & 20% everything else. They also require high vitamin A, high vegetable protein & low meat protein. Berries should be given daily. Bright yellows, oranges & red fruit & veg the higher the nutritional value. Veg that is rich in dark green are also high in nutrition. The paler the green, the more water content & less the nutritional value. These are veg like celery & ice burg lettuce. These are fine offered occasionally as a food. Unlike most people believe the watery veg does not cause diarrhoea, it just makes their poop watery because of the content of the water in the veg.
Fruit & Veg mixes should be as different as you can make them for each meal. Eclectus do get bored with eating the same food every day.

Most veggies are great for parrots & nearly all can be eaten by parrots but there are a few that are poor quality. Poor quality foods usually have very little nutrition in them & your parrot will not benefit from them.





These foods don't need to be excluded in your birds diet. They're not toxic & most enjoy these, they're just low in nutrition so shouldn't be offered a lot of.
Iceburg Lettuce
Celery
Potato
Corn
