We have 5 African Grey parrots here on the farm and we take care of them with specific diets and foods, as we all should know if you are feeding your African grey or any parrot for that only seeds in a bag you are killing our bird, you must do your own homework and research on what your parrot requires as a diet and then test it out, see what reactions you get from the bird with the diet and then change it if necessary, do not be a fool.
So what did we see through the Parrots twice now, we keep them on a diet that is specific with in their requirements as in they sit most of the time in cages and come out three times a day, thus they do not need to use much energy as they are not moving around or flying for that matter, thus the energy consumption and diet must be fitting.
We give them vegetables and sprouts from all kinds of seeds that they can eat, sprouts take out the energy that is stored inside each seed and lessens it, and we give them pellets that we buy from the vet with specific ingredients that they require in their bodies, most people only buy their birds the cheap bulk pack of seed that is super full of fun packed energy.
Point 1)
So here is what the parrots have shown us. And interestingly enough I tested it for myself as well and it did change a lot of things, my anxiety levels went down a lot and I could move more freely. Sugar is like a fuel for anxiety. Anxiety is/might already be in side of us as what we accept and allow and when we consume sugar we are fuelling the anxiety and intensifying it, because like parrots in a cage we have nowhere to let it all out, we either sit at home or we sit at work or we do something that is confined in a certain space, so we get bored and we consume a lot of products during the day, not really giving a shit what’s in it but we love it, so as we consume we fuel more than just our bellies but we actually give more fuel to the fiery anxiety that is inside us.
So we gave the parrots a lot of sunflower seeds and peanuts and all the good stuff for months in the beginning and we thought we were helping them to enjoy themselves and then as we all know things over time accumulates and consequences form/take place and the parrots started to get really hyperactive, being hyperactive is a sign of letting out anxiety and anxiety is built up from a lot of energy that got built up inside and that has no let out so to say.
So the parrots became really bad, they started reacting to everything, all the small things and big thing and all the noise they could hear and they would simply jump and crash into the windows and hurt themselves and they would constantly fight, they were really not doing well, so we had to start putting them in the cages even more before they hurt themselves.
We asked ourselves but why? This led to the whole diet change and we saw that we were giving them a shit load of sugar (the food the pet shop suggested). They were constantly in survival mode and fight or flight mode, we changed the diet to fit their environment and their way of life and after a few weeks they calmed down extensively, we could take them out and they would be fine, we could make loud noises and we could do things we usually could not do and they would not react and be fine, they did not have all the anxiety/energy that was stuck inside them.
So after a while we got comfortable with all the things and I started getting okay with giving them more peanuts and sun flower seeds and not long after that they were back at it again, crashing into windows and the floors and going all nuts, fighting each other for no reasons and really just doing things that was random and really unnecessary from our point of view, but they needed to get rid of the energy because it turns into anxiety,
Point 2)
it’s like eating a lot of sugar and not working it out physically and then it turns into a feeling/emotion because the body is under stress and thus you have anxiety and do not know where the fuck it comes from, you simply have it, then you start going into irrational thinking of what this anxiety might be, but maybe you have to much sugar in you. (chemicals)
Or it can intensify what you already have and make it worse, thus people get anxiety attacks and sudden heart attacks and whatever there is.
I tested it for myself I cut out all sugar except for my coffee and the coke I drink but I dropped all sweets and all good and nice stuff for a couple of months and I realized I was calm inside, I then had my regular anxieties to deal with. And take them out.
So the parrots was a quite clear indication to this because with more sugar the specifically reacted more on survival things such as fight or flight, not playing more and being more happy, but a negative outflow and not positive so to say. – Thus anxiety related and tested it on myself.
So if you have anxiety problems and you are blaming everything but not looking at what chemicals you are pouring into your body and not really understanding the consequences of it then start looking at what you are putting into your body that might not work for your physical body and thus you have outflows such as anxiety or stress etc.
Sugar has become a major profiteering strategy in this world, here where I live in KZN, for hundreds of km's there are only sugar farm and that sugar goes into people. Sugar is a drug and everyone is junkies, put sugar in all foods without telling and people will believe they love the food, really all they are loving is the sugar lol, and drugs always has side effects, sometimes you lose teeth from drugs, sometimes you go dumb from drugs or slow and sometimes you go into extreme anxiety and do stupid things, sugar can cause all those things. Simply at a slower rate, keeps the profit going to big fat cats for longer, and they know what they are doing... you are simply a robot.
Try it for yourself and share the point on what you have discovered.
