The New Movement to Feed Pet Birds Whole Foods

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Leslie Moran, a holistic animal nutrition and care consultant, is passionate about ending avian malnutrition in exotic birds, parrots and finches.
In the Fall of 2020 Kevin C. nominated her for a Healthy Pets Animal Game Changer Award, given to her by Dr Karen Becker, for the work she’s doing to teach bird lovers how to feed species-appropriate, whole foods to their pets.
In her book “Polly Want a Sprout? Sprouting for the New Paradigm in Balanced Exotic Avian Nutrition,” Leslie details basic and essential nutritional elements for birds, including sprouting for parrots, that she hopes will educate pet caregivers and veterinarians alike.
She’s also created the Healthy Bird Project, now a Program of Emerald Ark a 501(C)(3) tax exempt organization, that is working toward identifying the correct combination of foods to make up balanced nutrition for parrot and finch species, which she hopes will ultimately help end avian malnutrition.
In 2022 Leslie wrote and published the FIRST Balanced Food Plan for parrots (larger than 50 grams), “The Power of Nurturing with Food”.
As a part of the Healthy Bird Project Leslie has also created a Balanced Food Plan for parrots smaller than 50 grams. This includes her Budgie Specialty products.
