Sizes:
Some seasons ask more of your bird. Breeding, moulting, recovering from illness and the colder months all increase nutritional demand. Avian High-Energy Blend is a veterinary-formulated, high-specification diet for canaries, finches and small parrots (including budgerigars, lovebirds, monk parrots and other small South American species). It is fortified to meet those increased needs, and it is an excellent conversion food for birds moving from seed to pellets.
Avian High-Energy Blend combines two complementary formulas:
The pellets are extrusion-cooked to unlock natural flavours, improve digestibility and ensure food safety. They are made in Australia with Australian non-GMO grains.
Two years from the date of manufacture.
Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight and below 30°C. Consume within 30 days of opening for optimum freshness.
Avian High-Energy Blend 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 fresh fruit and vegetables (15%) and a small amount of treat foods such as seeds and nuts (5%), to provide variety and enrichment. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
Birds fed on extruded diets will produce droppings of a different colour and texture than birds fed on seed.
Daily Pellet Recommendation:
Vetafarm recommends that parrots are fed a minimum of 10% of their body weight in pellets per day, for example:
50g Lovebird (or similar): provide a minimum of 5g of Avian High-Energy Blend per day.
110g Monk parrot (or similar): provide a minimum of 11g of Avian High-Energy Blend per day.
150g Sun conure (or similar): provide a minimum of 15g of Avian High-Energy Blend per day.
1 metric cup = approx. 180g.
Note: Budgerigars are notoriously difficult to convert to complete foods. Many will take longer to convert, or will refuse a new diet entirely. Monitor all birds closely during the conversion process, and take particular care with budgerigars.
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.
