{"product_id":"psittacus-micro-350g","title":"Psittacus Micro Complete Pellet Diet for Small Parrots 350g","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Micro 350g 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 Melopsittacus, Nymphicus, Psephotus, and Neophema. Rather than supplementing a seed mix, this is a nutritionally complete feed designed to meet the full dietary requirements of these birds in a single, consistent format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis diet is matched to the nutritional profile of small grass-seed-eating psittacines. It is appropriate for budgerigars, cockatiels, and closely related species from genera including Psephotus and Neophema — birds whose wild diet centres on grass seeds rather than the larger nuts and fruits consumed by bigger parrot species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaily intake varies by species and is also influenced by ambient temperature. As a guide, cockatiels typically consume around 10% of their body weight per day, while common budgerigars may eat up to 18% of their body weight daily. Adjusting quantities to reflect seasonal temperature changes and individual bird condition is advisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnalytical Constituents\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 takes the guesswork out of small parrot nutrition, delivering a consistent, species-appropriate diet in a 350g format well suited to individual birds or small collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146926182737,"sku":"4FPM016","price":7.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/4FPM016_1.jpg?v=1782487609","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/psittacus-micro-350g","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
