Mark Hagen accepted an invitation to speak at Parrots 2018, the Parrot Society of Australia’s 10th International Convention on Saturday July 7th, 2018.

Mark’s topic Feeding Parrots at (HARI) for 30 years: Nutrition of Seeds vs Pellets gave insights to the pros and cons of each food item as it relates to vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats when trying to achieve optimum nutrition with a mixture of foods.

Mark answered the questions: Is it possible to feed easy to prepare cost efficient diets without compromising proper levels of essential nutrients? And, Is it possible to get these nutrients into birds at optimum intake levels?
