EXTRUDED PELLETS
The extruded pellets is the newest way of feeding birds in the market. Its modern process of production and the nutritional elements needed for a balanced diet are very important. It is boiled for a brief period of time by means of steam water, making easy the absorption of the substances by the birds. The high temperatures in this process remove the majority of the germs. As a consequence, this food is better digested, and the risk of infection decreases. The fact that lovebirds eat seeds (and being in their instinct to husk them) it is making the adaptation of lovebirds difficult to this new food. This fact does not impede that the triturated extruded pellets can be mixed with the pastry as a way of improving their diet. But it is clear that the future of the birds will have this kind of food as the main one, and a more attractive one adapted to the birds' needs can appear.
