Avian Nutrition - Feeding Your Bird

In spite of claims by some product manufacturers, retailers and breeders to the contrary, far too much emphasis has been placed on seeds and seed diets for caged birds. They represent a relatively nonperishable convenience for bird owners but are a miserably deficient food for your pet.

 -  "What are nucleotides and what makes them such a valuable addition to a pet's nutrition? To answer this question, we need to have a brief lesson in biochemistry. Nucleotides are the building blocks that are necessary for making new DNA and RNA. Next, we need to think back to high school when we learned about the double-helix of DNA. Remember the spiral-appearing ladder with the different colored rungs? That is a model of the DNA that makes up the genes and chromosomes found in us all. DNA is a very large molecule, and the rungs of the DNA ladder are made of a combination of two different nucleotides. The nucleotides are molecules, called guanosine and cytosine, that pair up together, or adenosine and thymidine, which also pair up together. Adenosine and guanosine are called purines. Cytosine, thymidine and uradine are called pyrimidines. RNA is similar to DNA, except that the molecule uradine replaces thymine in that pair, and RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides, and genes are what make up our chromosomes. So, "
