Directions
Directions
Feed as a dry pellet, replacing the seed proportion of the bird’s diet:
Birds that are accustomed to eating seed need to modify their feeding technique to eat Pellets:
- Initially they will disintegrate the food, but they should soon learn to totally consume the Pellets and even eat any powder produced during feeding.
- Avoid changing the diet on days that are either very hot or very cold, or during times of stress on the bird.
- Observe the birds regularly to ensure they are eating the Pellets.
- Don’t over-fill the feed bowl, as birds will tend to scatter the Pellets in search of their normal food
- Have at most two layers of Pellets in the feed bowl.
Feeding Guide
Caged birds tend to over-eat and become obese when offered an unlimited supply of food. It is a healthier, and more economical practice to establish your birds’ daily food requirement and feed that amount.
