{"product_id":"psittacus-micro-1kg","title":"Psittacus Micro 1kg Complete Pellet Diet for Small Parrots","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Micro 1kg is a complete pellet diet formulated specifically for small parrot species that naturally feed on grass seeds — including budgerigars, cockatiels, and related genera such as Neophema, Psephotus, and Nymphicus. If you keep small parakeets and want a nutritionally balanced staple diet in pellet form, this is designed with their specific dietary profile in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecies Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis diet is matched to the nutritional requirements of small grass-seed specialists. It is appropriate for genera including Melopsittacus (budgerigars), Nymphicus (cockatiels), Psephotus, and Neophema, among others — birds whose natural foraging centres on grass seeds rather than fruit or larger nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaily intake varies depending on species and ambient temperature, which directly influences how much a bird will consume. As a guide, cockatiels typically eat around 10% of their body weight per day, while common budgerigars may consume up to 18%. Keepers should monitor intake and adjust accordingly, particularly during seasonal temperature changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein: 16.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude oils and fats: 7.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Micro gives keepers a straightforward, consistent way to meet the dietary needs of small parakeet species without relying solely on seed mixes, supporting long-term health and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146926379345,"sku":"4FPM017","price":13.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/4FPM017_1.jpg?v=1782487611","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/psittacus-micro-1kg","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
