Psittacus High Energy Parrot Pellets

Psittacus High Energy is a complete pellet diet formulated for parrot species that naturally consume high volumes of fruits and seeds from oleaginous plants in the wild. It is particularly well suited to genera such as Psittacus, Ara, and Poicephalus — including African Greys and macaws — where energy-dense nutrition is a genuine dietary requirement, not an optional extra. Available in a range of sizes to suit keepers from single-bird households to larger collections.

Who It Is Designed For

This diet is matched to species whose wild foraging brings them into regular contact with oil-rich seeds and fatty fruits. Genera including Psittacus, Ara, and Poicephalus have higher fat and energy requirements than many other parrots, and a standard maintenance diet will not meet those needs long-term. Psittacus High Energy is built around that biological reality.

Nutritional Profile

The analytical constituents reflect the elevated energy demands of these species:

• Crude Protein: 17.0%
• Crude Oils and Fats: 11.0%

Feeding Guidance

Daily intake typically falls between 5% and 8% of the bird's body weight, though this varies with ambient temperature — warmer conditions generally reduce intake, cooler conditions increase it. Medium-sized species such as the African Grey parrot typically consume in the region of 20–40g per day, but individual birds should be monitored and portions adjusted accordingly.

Choosing the Right Size

Psittacus High Energy is available in multiple bag sizes, from a smaller option suitable for trialling the diet or housing a single bird, up to larger quantities better suited to multi-bird setups or regular bulk feeding. Select your preferred size from the options on this page.

For keepers who take species-appropriate nutrition seriously, Psittacus High Energy removes the guesswork — a complete, properly formulated diet that reflects what these birds are actually built to eat.
