Feeding Directions
Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily.
A 1 lb (450 g) bird will typically eat between 1/3 to ½ cup (33 – 40 g) per day, while a 2 lb (900 g) bird may consume between 2/3 to 1 cup (66 – 80 g) per day.
Fresh fruits, vegetables and seeds may be provided, but no more than 20% of the total diet.
To switch birds to this diet, gradually replace your old diet with this diet at the rate of 10% per day.
Do not overfeed during this transition time and monitor your bird to be sure it is eating the new diet.
• Monitor the bird’s weight and behavior carefully during the conversion period. Be especially attentive during the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% old diet and 50% Mazuri® Parrot Maintenance Diet and restart the conversion process from this point.
If the bird is not eating, the excreta color will become dark green and the volume will decrease. If the bird is consuming the Mazuri® Parrot Maintenance Diet, the excreta will be a brownish-green color.
