Pesquet's Parrot eating soil (geophagy)
Loading...
Uploaded by parrotsdotorg on Oct 30, 2008
Pesquet's Parrots which hail from Papua New Guinea are seldom seen in captivity. This one is eating soil at a bird park in Malaysia. The video was sent to us by Dr Craig T. Symes of the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

You NEED to supply calcium in their diet. The do need dirty, chalk etc a lot. They do this in nature too. Please give them calcium food. You can buy it in any pet store.

It's the feathers on the head - as in, lack of feathers. Amongst other things, it feeds on the mushy dropppings of the giant, flightless cassowary - How would you keep them clean if you ate, erhem, that kind of food? O O ~
