Psittacus Minor Complete Pellet Diet

Psittacus Minor is a complete pelleted diet formulated specifically for small parrot species — including lovebirds, conures, parrotlets, and related genera. Designed to reflect the broad nutritional diversity these birds encounter in the wild, it delivers a balanced, consistent feed that removes the guesswork from daily nutrition.

Formulated for Small Parrot Species

Small parrots in genera such as Agapornis, Pyrrhura, Forpus, and Cyanoramphus naturally consume an extremely varied diet in the wild — seeds, fruits, berries, leaves, buds, and occasional invertebrates. Psittacus Minor is built around that nutritional complexity, providing a complete diet in a single, consistently formulated pellet rather than relying on the keeper to assemble that variety themselves.

Analytical Composition

Each batch is formulated to deliver crude protein at 18.0% and crude oils and fats at 10.0%, supporting the energy demands and general condition of small, active parrot species. These figures are consistent across the range, giving keepers a reliable nutritional baseline regardless of which pack size they use.

Daily Feeding Guidance

Approximate daily intake for small parrots typically falls between 10% and 18% of the individual bird's body weight, though ambient temperature has a notable influence on how much a bird will consume. Monitoring intake and adjusting accordingly is straightforward with a consistent pellet diet like this one.

Available in Multiple Pack Sizes

Psittacus Minor is available in a range of pack sizes, from smaller quantities suited to single birds or trial feeding, through to larger options for breeders or collections where buying in bulk makes practical sense. Select your preferred size from the options on this page.

A complete, species-appropriate pellet diet takes the complexity out of feeding small parrots well. Psittacus Minor gives keepers a scientifically grounded foundation they can trust day to day.
