Psittacus High Energy Hand Feeding Formula 1kg

Psittacus High Energy Hand Feeding 1kg is a follow-on hand rearing formula developed for parrot species with high fat dietary requirements — including African greys (Psittacus erithacus), macaws (Ara spp.), and Poicephalus parrots. It is designed for use from the point at which pin feathers begin to emerge, bridging the gap between early neonatal feeding and weaning.

Who It's For

This formula is suited to genera that naturally require a fat-rich diet during development. In African grey parrots, for example, it is appropriate from approximately the third week of life onwards. For neonates younger than this, an early-age formula such as a crop milk or neonatal product should be used first.

Key Ingredients

• Crude palm oil as the primary fat source — selected as the most nutritionally appropriate vegetable fat for these species
• Papaya included to support healthy digestive transit
• Crude protein: 18.0%
• Crude oils and fats: 20.0%

Feeding Guidance

On average, parrots consume between 7 and 10 ml of prepared formula per feeding bout per 100g of body weight. The number of daily feeding bouts will vary depending on the species being reared and the age of the individual bird — follow species-specific guidance and adjust as the chick develops.

A high-fat follow-on formula with a clear nutritional profile, Psittacus High Energy Hand Feeding gives keepers and breeders a reliable, species-appropriate tool for raising fat-diet parrots through a critical stage of development.
