Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding Formula 5kg

Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding is a specialist follow-on formula developed for parrot species with elevated fat requirements. If you are hand-rearing macaws, cockatoos, or other high-energy psittacines, this is the formula designed to meet their specific nutritional demands during the critical pin feather to weaning stage.

Who It Is For

This is a follow-on hand-feeding formula, not a first-age product. It is intended for use from the point at which pin feathers emerge and continues through to weaning. For newly hatched or very young chicks, a first-age formula should be used before transitioning to Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding.

Fat Profile and Key Ingredients

The formula is built around a blend of vegetable fats — specifically palm and coconut oils — selected to match the dietary needs of species that require a higher fat intake than standard hand-feeding formulas provide. Papaya is also included to support healthy digestive transit throughout the rearing period.

Preparation and Administration

• Prepare with lukewarm water at approximately 25% solids concentration
• Administer using a soft feeding tube for safe and controlled delivery
• Consistent preparation helps maintain crop health and reduces the risk of digestive issues

Transitioning Before and After

Before introducing Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding, younger chicks should be established on an appropriate first-age formula. At weaning, transition the bird progressively onto a suitable adult or breeding diet rather than switching abruptly.

With a 5kg pack size, Psittacus High Energy Plus Hand Feeding is practical for breeders and serious keepers managing multiple chicks or extended rearing periods, providing consistent nutritional support from pin feather emergence through to independence.
