Psittacus Parrot Breeder

Psittacus Parrot Breeder is a complete pelleted diet formulated specifically for the breeding season, designed for medium-sized and large psittacine species including African greys, macaws, amazons, and cockatoos. It is built to meet the elevated nutritional demands birds face during this period, supporting condition, reproductive success, and chick development.

Suitable Species

This formula is intended for medium to large psittacines — species such as African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus), macaws (Ara spp.), amazons (Amazona spp.), and cockatoos (Cacatua spp.). The nutritional profile is calibrated to the size and metabolic requirements of these birds during active breeding.

Feeding as a Complete Diet

Psittacus Parrot Breeder is formulated to constitute 100% of the bird's diet, requiring no additional supplementation under normal conditions. Fresh fruit and vegetables can be offered alongside it for enrichment and variety, provided the pellets remain at least 70% of the total diet by weight — keeping the nutritional balance intact.

Daily Intake Guidance

For medium-sized species such as the African grey parrot, daily intake typically falls between 5% and 12% of the bird's body weight. Actual consumption will vary depending on the individual bird, breeding activity, and environmental conditions.

Calcium Considerations During Heavy Breeding

Where birds are producing multiple or repeated clutches, access to a coarse calcium grit is advisable as a supplementary calcium source. Birds are able to self-regulate their calcium intake according to their own requirements, making free-choice availability the most practical approach during intensive breeding periods.

Psittacus Parrot Breeder gives keepers and breeders a nutritionally complete, breed-season-specific foundation — removing guesswork from diet formulation at the most demanding point in the breeding calendar.
