Exotic Bird Foods

These are complementary foods for granivorous parrots.

Calcium Grit Fine is indicated for small size parrots and Calcium Grit Coarse is aimed at medium and large parrots.

They have been designed to correct calcium deficiencies inherent in seed mixtures and from increasing calcium demands during egg-laying and growth. Birds are perfectly capable of regulating the intake of calcium-rich foods according to their needs.

Daily consumption will range between 0 % and 2 % of dry diet.

Calcium Grit can be freely available in a separate feeder or mixed with the rest of the ingredients of the diet.

Analytical constituents: Crude protein 0.0 %, Crude oils and fats 0.0 %, Calcium 45.6 % (Fine), Calcium 49.3 % (Coarse).

This is a follow-on hand feeding formula. This product is intended for hand rearing cockatoo chicks (except cockatoos of Probosciger and Calyptorhynchus) from the moment when feathers begin to emerge.

Daily intake are ranges between 7 and 10 ml of formula per feeding bout and per 100 g of body weight. The number of feeding bouts per day depends on the parrot species and the age.Its use is recommended until emancipation. During weaning phase, it should be replaced gradually by dry adult food.

Formulated as an early-age hand feeding formula, suitable for hand-rearing frugivorous psittacine birds during the second phase of the early-age neonatal period (from the 7th-8th day of life until the moment pin feathers emerge). It contains a high proportion of dehydrated whole egg and papaya, which favours digestive transit.

It is advisable to prepare the formula with lukewarm water at a concentration of approximately 25% solids. It is recommended to administer the formula with a soft feeding tube.

From the moment the pin feathers emerge, it is necessary to change to a follow-on hand-feeding formula appropriate to the species to be reared.

This product is intended for hand rearing frugivorous parrot chicks during the first phase of the early-age period (from birth to a maximum of the 7- 8 days of life, depending on the species).

This is an exclusive hand feeding formula of high concentration and digestibility.This is advisable to administer it daily to chicks in the appropriate amount, distributed in many feeding bouts per day (usually 7-8 feeding bouts in the first days of life).

It should be prepared with warm water at a concentration of 25 % from the third day. During the first day, the concentration should increase in each feeding bout: from approximately 1 % in the first feeding bout to 20 % in the last one.
