A tropical treat… with benefits.
These Red-lored Amazons are making the most of a coconut breakfast.
While coconut isn’t a typical wild food for them here in Belize, it does offer healthy fats, fiber, and plenty of enrichment.
In the wild, parrots naturally spend hours foraging, chewing, and working for nutrient-rich foods like seeds, fruits, and palm nuts – so foods like this can help mimic some of that natural effort.
Nutritious, engaging, and clearly very popular.

Digging for more than mischief… 🦜🌿
This Red-lored Amazon may look like he’s just making a mess in the flowerpot – but behaviour like this can serve an important purpose.
In the wild, parrots will often seek out soil, clay, or mineral-rich earth to supplement their diets, especially when breeding season increases nutritional demands.
These natural minerals can help support eggshell production, overall health, and may even help neutralise certain plant toxins.
So while it might look like simple pot destruction, sometimes it’s instinct at work
