Directions

Maintenance Diet should be fed as your bird’s primary diet (80% of daily feed consumed). The remaining 20% of the diet should comprise 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.

Daily Pellet Recommendation:

Vetafarm recommends that parrots are fed a minimum of 10% of their bodyweight in pellets per day, for example:

90g Cockatiel (or similar): provide a minimum 9g of Maintenance Diet per day.

150g Sun conure (or similar): provide a minimum of 15g of Maintenance Diet per day.

300g Galah (or similar): provide a minimum of 30g of Maintenance Diet per day.

These feeding recommendations should be used as a guide only. Be sure to check with your veterinarian for more specific information if your bird has special dietary needs due to a health condition.
