Directions
Feed as a moist crumble, or mixed with diced veg, soaked seed or other moist foods. Prepare food fresh each day to avoid microbial contamination.
Moist Crumble:
Mix 10g (1 scoop) of powder with approx. 3mL (½ tsp) of water
Slowly add water to the powder while mixing with a fork to form a moist, crumbly mix.
To feed with soaked seed or vegetables:
Mix 10g (1 scoop) of powder with 20g (2 scoops) diced veg or soaked seed
For convenience, use frozen peas & corn which have been thawed before mixing. Other foods such as chopped greens, fruit or soaked seed can be used, depending on bird preference. Add a little extra water to moisten the mix if necessary.
Feeding Guide
Weaning
Parrot Soft Food is ideal to be used as a weaning food for hand-reared parrots when transitioning from Hand Rearing Food to a solid diet.
Pellet Conversion
Birds will readily transition from Parrot Soft Food to Crumble or Parrot Pellets by mixing the two products together, and then gradually increasing the proportion of Crumbles or Pellets.
