It solves two quite different problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is size. Canaries, finches, budgies, lovebirds, parrotlets and doves can eat mash straight from the dish when a whole pellet defeats them. The second is ability. An older parrot, a bird with a damaged or overgrown beak, or one recovering from injury may simply not be able to crack a nugget any more — mash mixed with water, organic fruit juice or chopped vegetables gives that bird the same nutrition in a form it can manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich birds this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanaries, budgies, cockatiels, doves, lovebirds, conures, parrotlets and pigeons as an everyday food.
