As animals, birds have different food needs. Some birds, such as finches, like to eat seeds and grains, while pigeons prefer feed. Some birds, such as beaked birds, need to eat meat, such as insects or small mammals.
In addition to basic food needs, birds need to eat some minerals and vitamins to stay healthy. Some minerals include calcium and phosphorus, while vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, K and so on. These can be obtained from food.
