It is formulated to stimulate reproduction. It contains a high level of protein with an amino acid profile suitable for this stage Moreover, it is formulated with a particular focus on the fatty acid profile and Omega 6 and Omega 3 contribution. The concentration of vitamins and antioxidants of this product is higher than in the maintenance formula in order to satisfy the increased requirements during breeding season.

It is formulated to constitute 100 % of the parrot?s diet. However, if fresh fruit and vegetables are provided daily to give variety to the diet, Psittacus High Protein Breeding should constitute no less than 70-80 % of the overall diet by weight.

In the case of reiterated and/or numerous clutches, it is advisable that birds have access to Calcium Grit Coarse as a calcium source. Birds can regulate their calcium intake according to their needs.

Daily intake varies between 5 and 10 % of the animal?s body weight. For example, blue-fronted amazons consume between 20 and 35 g daily.

Birds will consume more or less amount of each product according to their nutritional needs. Whenever chicks are present in the nest, it is advisable that the birds have also availa-ble Frugivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding Formula or Lory Special Hand Feeding Formula (depending on their age).

Formulated to hand-rear small psittacine species (genera Melopsittacus, Nymphicus, Eolophus, Aratinga, Platycercus ? ) that in the nature basically consume seeds with a low level of fats.

It is a follow-on hand-feeding formula formulated to constitute 100 % of the chick?s diet. It should be fed from the moment pin feathers emerge until weaning. For example, in cockatiels, it is used from the second week of age.

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.

For younger animals, it is preferable to use the first-age hand feeding formula Psittacine Crop Milk. During the emancipation it will be gradually replaced by the Breeding Paste or the Mini formula.

This is a follow-on formula. This product is intended for hand rearing small sized parrot species from the moment when the first neonatal phase finishes. For instance, in cockatiels it is used from the 2nd week of life.

It is specially designed for species of the genera Melopsittacus, Nymphicus, Agapornis, Neophema, Eolophus etc.

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. It's use is recommended until emancipation. During weaning phase, it should be replaced gradually by dry adult food. For younger animals (first week of age), it is recommended to use Psittacine Crop Milk initially and a mix of both formulas afterwards.

This is a porridge of first age designed to raise manually from the first day of life a great majority of parrot species (yaks, amazons, cockatoos, macaws, eclectus, caiques, pionus ...). It's use is recommended until the moment when the cannons of the first feathers stand out. From this moment it is advisable to use a continuation porridge. It can also be supplied to chicks that require a supplement to the diet they receive from their parents. It is also suitable for recovering malnourished chicks.

It's use is recommended in the second phase of the neonatal stage, preceded by Psittacine Crop Milk Replacer during the first 5-7 days of life (first phase).

It's use is discouraged in nymphs, wavy parakeets and other small Australian granivorous parrots. In these species it is advisable to go directly from the Crop Milk to the Mini pap (2-3 days of transition).

It contains a high proportion of dehydrated egg. It also contains papaya, which favors the digestive transit.

On average, parrots eat 7 to 10 ml of porridge per 100 g of weight. It is advisable to make sure that one hour before each meal the baby's craw is completely empty. We advise to supply the porridge with a syringe with a soft probe of virgin rubber or silicone. This is the method we use in our breeding center because it is the safest and cleanest. We recommend stimulating the animal by pressing the lateral commissures of the beak to provoke swallowing movements, before the introduction of the probe.

Prepare with an approximate concentration of 25% solids in warm water.

This product is intended for young birds (up to one year of age) of medium and large species. It can be also offered exclusively or comple-mentary to adult individuals of different species. In this sense, it can be offered ad libitum to genera Ara, Psittacus and Poicephalus. On the other hand, it is recommended to offer it in a restricted and complementary way to species that tend to gain weight, such as the genera Amazona, Cacatua, Psittacula or Eclectus.

In the case of Eclectus, this food must be supplemented with plenty of sweet fruit.

Due to its great palatability, this formula is an ideal tool to do the transition from seeds to formulated diets in individuals that con-sume seeds exclusively.

The daily intake ranges between 5 % and 8 % of the animals body weight. Medium-sized species (for example the African grey parrot) consume between 25 and 40 g. Ambient temperature greatly influences consumption rate.
