Psittacus High Energy Breeding Complete Pellet Diet 12kg

Psittacus High Energy Breeding is a complete pellet diet formulated specifically for medium and large parrots during the reproductive stage. It delivers a high-quality protein profile alongside a fatty acid composition rich in palmitic acid, supporting the increased physiological demands of breeding birds in species such as African greys, macaws, and Poicephalus parrots.

Who It's Designed For

This diet is intended for medium and large psittacine species during their breeding period — not as an everyday maintenance feed. Species that naturally benefit from a diet higher in fats and protein during reproduction, including Psittacus, Ara, and Poicephalus genera, are the primary candidates. It is not a general-purpose pellet.

Nutritional Composition

• Crude protein: 23.5%
• Crude oils and fats: 14.5%
• Elevated palmitic fatty acid profile to support reproductive conditioning

Feeding Guidance

Daily intake typically falls between 5% and 8% of the bird's body weight. For a medium-sized species such as the African grey parrot, this translates to approximately 25–40g per day. Ambient temperature will influence how much an individual bird consumes, so monitoring intake and adjusting accordingly is advisable.

Available in a 12kg bag, Psittacus High Energy Breeding gives serious breeders a nutritionally complete, species-appropriate foundation diet to support their birds through one of the most demanding periods of the annual cycle.
