Cockatoos are vulnerable to vitamin A deficiency, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, stroke, insufficient dietary calcium, egg-binding, and other nutrition-related problems. Pellets are the ideal diet for birds and should ideally represent approximately 75%-80% of the bird's diet.

Smaller or younger snakes usually eat twice each week, while larger, more mature snakes typically eat once every week or two.
