Feeding Directions
• Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily.
• A 3 ½ oz (100 g) bird will typically eat between 2 to 3 Tbsp (10 – 15 g) per day, while a 1 lb. (450 g) bird may consume between 1/3 to 1/2 cup (33 – 40 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.
• Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling pets. This diet is not for human consumption.
