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
- Kevin C. nominated her for a Healthy Pets Animal Game Changer Award 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 owners and veterinarians alike
- She’s also created the Healthy Bird Project, which 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
“My clients who consistently feed Best Bird Food Ever! as 50% of their bird’s diet have seen a general improvement in the levels of health of these birds.”
