Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding 5kg

Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding is a follow-on formula developed for hand-rearing parrot species with elevated fat requirements. If you are raising macaws, cockatoos, or other species known to need a richer diet, this is the formula designed with their physiology in mind.

Who It Is For

This is not a general-purpose hand-feeding formula. It is specifically indicated for parrot species that require a high-fat diet during development. It should be introduced once pin feathers begin to emerge and used through to weaning — it is not suitable as a first-age formula for newly hatched chicks.

Fat Profile and Key Ingredients

The elevated fat content comes from a blend of vegetable fats chosen for compatibility with these species: palm oil and coconut oil. The formula also includes papaya, which supports healthy digestive transit during the hand-rearing period.

Preparation and Administration

• Prepare with lukewarm water at approximately 25% solids concentration
• Administer using a soft feeding tube for safety and accuracy
• Do not use as a first-feed for neonates — younger chicks require a first-age formula appropriate to their developmental stage

Transitioning Through the Rearing Cycle

For newly hatched chicks, a first-age hand-feeding formula should be used before introducing Psittacus High Energy Plus. At weaning, transition progressively to a suitable maintenance or breeding diet to support the bird's continued development.

Available in a 5kg bag, Psittacus High Energy Plus gives experienced breeders and dedicated hand-rearers a consistent, species-appropriate formula to work with through a critical stage of chick development.
