Bird food is different for birds in the wild than pet birds. Bird food often consists largely of seeds, such as sunflower, millet and safflower seeds. Other foods given to birds include suet, and sugar water for hummingbirds. Different breeds of birds have different nutritional requirements, so learn about a bird before feeding it. Commercially prepared pellets are available that offer more nutrition to pet birds, but should be fed in conjunction with fresh foods and/or seeds.
