Guaranteed Analysis
Feeding Guide
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.
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 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.
