Karen Chudley discusses a Japanese approach to feeding pet parrots with Mimi
In the February 2014 issue of Parrots magazine, my good friend Tomoko Mimi Shimada, or Mimi, as she prefers to be known, introduced us to her beloved pet parrots Abo, an African Grey and Okame, a lutino Cockatiel.
Mimi lives in Japan and is fortunate to have an abundance of wonderful fresh and healthy ingredients available to feed to her birds. Mimi is a licensed nutritionist, so it is no surprise that Abo and Okame enjoy a nutritious and tasty diet, which has made encouraging improvements to their health. Here, Mimi and I discuss her approach to feeding her parrots.
