For starters, there is need to ensure that the bird food contains no wheat which is known to contain gluten as well as histamines that are allergens. In addition, the bird food must also not contain corn which is a bad source as far as proper nutrition is concerned, and it would be better to eliminate this from your pet’s diet since it contains too much of natural sugars and starch that have less nutritional value and which also contains histamine.
No Soy
