SQUAWK Parrot Food - 2.5L

No, SQUAWK Parrot Food is designed as an enhanced base mix. It must be supplemented with a daily variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and potentially a calcium source for a complete and balanced diet.

This blend is suitable for a wide range of parrot species, including African Greys, Amazons, Cockatoos, Macaws, and other medium to large parrots that benefit from a diverse seed, nut, and grain diet.

Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness.

While some ingredients might be suitable, this blend is primarily formulated for larger parrot species. Smaller birds may struggle to eat the larger seeds and nuts. It's best to use food specifically formulated for smaller species.

Chillies are included for their nutritional value and are often enjoyed by parrots. They are not typically harmful and can be a good source of vitamins.

Feeding amounts vary depending on the species, size, age, and activity level of your parrot. Generally, offer an amount that your bird can consume within a day, removing any uneaten food. Consult with an avian veterinarian or experienced breeder for specific recommendations.

When stored properly in a cool, dry place and kept sealed, the food should maintain its freshness for several months. Look for any signs of spoilage such as mold or an off smell, which would indicate it should no longer be used.

Parrots can be picky. Gradually introduce the new food by mixing it with their current food, slowly increasing the proportion of SQUAWK over a week. Ensure fresh fruits and vegetables are always available to encourage foraging.

Some parrots tend to husk seeds or discard larger pieces. Consider using a 'seed catcher' or a wider, shallower dish. Offering a more pelleted diet alongside this mix might also help reduce waste.

While included for nutritional benefits, if you have specific concerns about an ingredient for your individual bird's health, consult with an avian veterinarian. Peanuts should be offered in moderation due to their fat content.
