Psittacus Mini Hand Feeding Formula 5kg

Psittacus Mini Hand Feeding 5kg is a follow-on hand rearing formula designed specifically for small parrot species. It takes over once the initial neonatal phase has passed, supporting steady development through to weaning and emancipation. This is a species-specific product — not a generic bird food — formulated for the dietary requirements of smaller psittacine genera including Melopsittacus, Nymphicus, Agapornis, Neophema, and Eolophus, among others.

When to Use It

This formula is introduced once the first neonatal phase ends. In cockatiels, for example, that means from the second week of life onwards. It should remain the primary hand feeding formula through to emancipation, with gradual replacement by dry adult food during the weaning phase. For birds in their first week of life, a neonatal crop milk formula is recommended first, transitioning into a blend of both products before switching fully to this formula.

Feeding Guidelines

Daily intake is calculated at 7 to 10 ml of prepared formula per feeding bout, per 100g of body weight. The number of feeding bouts required each day varies depending on the species being reared and the age of the individual bird. Following species-appropriate feeding schedules is essential for healthy development.
