Psittacus Parrot Breeder Complete Pellet Diet 3kg

Psittacus Parrot Breeder 3kg is a complete pellet diet formulated specifically for the breeding season, designed for medium-sized and large psittacine species including African greys, macaws, amazons, and cockatoos. If you're running a breeding programme, this is a diet built around the elevated nutritional demands that come with it.

Suitable Species

Formulated for medium to large psittacines — African greys (Psittacus erithacus), macaws (Ara spp.), amazons (Amazona spp.), and cockatoos (Cacatua spp.). These are birds with significant nutritional requirements at the best of times, and those requirements increase sharply during breeding.

Breeding Season Nutrition

The nutritional profile is tailored to meet the specific demands birds face during the breeding period. Rather than a year-round maintenance formula, Psittacus Parrot Breeder addresses the increased energy, protein, and micronutrient requirements associated with reproductive activity and chick-rearing.

Feeding as a Complete Diet

This pellet is designed to form 100% of the bird's diet, providing complete nutrition without the need for supplementation. Fruit and vegetables can be offered alongside it for enrichment and variety, provided that Psittacus Parrot Breeder makes up no less than 70% of total food intake by weight.

Daily Intake Guidelines

For medium-sized species such as the African grey, daily intake is typically between 5% and 12% of the bird's body weight. Monitoring body condition and adjusting accordingly is always recommended, particularly during active breeding.

Calcium Considerations

During periods of repeated or multiple clutches, access to a coarse calcium grit is advisable as an additional calcium source. Birds are able to self-regulate their calcium intake when it is made freely available, which helps support eggshell quality and hen recovery between clutches.

For breeders working with medium to large psittacines, Psittacus Parrot Breeder 3kg offers a structured, nutritionally targeted approach during the most demanding phase of the avian breeding cycle.
