Vetafarm Maintenance Diet parrot pellets 2kg

A total avian nutrition for parrots in a completely edible and highly palatable pellet.

Feeding: Maintenance Diet should be fed as your bird’s primary diet (80% of daily feed consumed). The remaining 20% of the diet should be made up of healthy fruit and vegetables (15%) and a small amount of treat foods such as nuts and seeds (5%), to provide variety and enrichment in their diet. Fresh water should be available at all times.

Nutritional Balance
Maintenance Diet pellets are veterinary formulated to fulfill all of your birds core nutritional requirements, for the long and healthy life of aviary and pet parrots. The elements needed for full feather production muscle activity and gut function are all included in this diet. Addition of other nutrients is not necessary. 

Birds may need to be converted to a pellet diet. There are several ways to convert a bird to pellets:

1. Mix the pellets with seed in a bowl (50:50) add enough hot water to soften the pellet and make it sticky – squeeze the mix into a rissole and place in an empty seed bowl. Feed this mix for several days and then begin to reduce the proportion of seed. After about 10 days you can add dry pellets to the bowl. Observe all birds closely during the conversion process.
2. Mix the pellets with any fruit and vegetable mix or with soaked seed. Use this mix for 5 – 10 days and then reduce the fruit/veges/soaks until the birds are consuming a total pellet diet. Once the birds are eating the pellet diet soft foods can be re-introduced as part of their diet.
