Wombaroo Passwell Parrot Pellets
Product Information
Wombaroo Passwell Parrot Pellets are a balanced diet for all parrots including ringnecks, conures, amazons, eclectus, cockatoos & macaws. Use as a healthy replacement to seed mixes.
What’s wrong with seed mixes?
Wasteful – parrots don’t eat the husk and select only their favourite seeds, wasting up to 40% of the seed mix.
Poor Nutrition – seed is deficient in essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins & minerals, but with excessive amounts of fat, which can lead to unhealthy birds.
- Totally edible – Reduces waste and mess.
- Better Nutrition – Enriched with essential amino acids (lysine, methionine), omega-3 & 6, vitamins & minerals.
- Improved Health – Low fat for weight control, with quality protein for good feather condition.

Feeding Guidelines
Parrots need to modify their feeding technique to eat pellets. Initially they may disintegrate the food, but soon learn to consume the whole pellet, including any fine powder produced.
Direct Change to Pellets: Applies to companion pets and larger parrots. Initially remove all seed and treats and provide only pellets. If birds do not eat during the day, replace some of the seed before nightfall and try again the next day. If this is not successful, try gradually introducing pellets.
Introducing Pellets: For smaller parrots and difficult-to-convert birds. Start with a 50:50 mix of pellets and seed then slowly reduce the proportion of seed over a number of days.
Body weight and bird health should be closely monitored to ensure birds are consuming pellets.
