What's wrong with seed mixes?

• Wasteful – parrots don’t eat the husk and select only their favourite seeds, wasting up to 40% of the seed mix.
• Poor Nutrition – seeds in mixes are often deficient in essential nutrients. Storage time and conditions reduce the nutritional value of the seed so it is difficult to know its age or quality. Mixes containing high fat seeds (eg sunflower) can lead to obesity-related disease.

Benefits of Passwell Parrot Pellets

• Economical – Passwell Parrot Pellets are totally edible so there is reduced waste and mess. Feed only one third as much as you would of seed.
• Excellent Nutrition – Enriched with essential amino acids (lysine & methionine), essential fatty acids (omega-3 & omega-6), vitamins & minerals.
• Improved Health – Low fat diet helps prevent obesity and balanced protein content maintains good feather and body condition.

 

Changing to Pellets

Birds need to modify their feeding technique to eat pellets:

• Initially they will disintegrate the food, but they soon learn to totally consume the pellets and even eat any powder produced during feeding.
• Avoid changing over on days that are either very hot or very cold, or during times of stress on the bird.
• Observe the birds regularly to ensure they are eating the pellets.

Direct Change to Pellets:

Applies to friendly companion birds and parrots larger than cockatiels. Remove all seed and treats and provide only pellets. If the birds do not eat during the day then replace the seed before nightfall and try again the next day. If this is not successful then try introducing pellets.

Introducing Pellets:

Start with a 50:50 mix of pellets and seed. Over the next few days, slowly increase the proportion of pellets. Remove all the seed once birds begin to eat the pellets.
