Psittacus High Energy Maintenance Formula - for African Greys, Macaws, Senegals
Use
This product is intended for species that in wild consume a significant amount of seeds from oil-rich plants such as African Greys, Macaws and Sengels (Psittacus, Ara, Poicephalus, etc.). Maintenance foods are formulated to feed pet birds and reproductive birds during non-reproductive periods. Their composition meets the nutritional requirements of birds at these times.
Directions for use
It is designed to constitute 100% of the parrot's diet in non-reproductive periods. However, if fresh fruit and vegetables are provided daily to lend variety to the diet, we recommend that Psittacus should constitute no less than 70-80% of the total intake. No vitamin or mineral supplements should be given to parrots whose basic
principal food is Psittacus. It is appropriate to renew food and water daily. Store in a cool dry place after opening (while refrigeration is not advised, freezing is possible if it is hermetically sealed).
Daily intake
Birds consumption varies between 5% and 8% of body weight. Medium sized species (for example, African Grey) consume around 20-40 g per day.
