Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg
Complete Nutrition for Breeding Parrots
Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg is a nutrient-rich pelleted food developed for parrots during one of the most nutritionally demanding periods of their lives: breeding and raising chicks.
Breeding birds require more energy and nutrients than birds simply maintaining normal body condition. Egg production, reproductive activity and feeding rapidly growing chicks all increase nutritional requirements. Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder is therefore formulated with additional protein and fat, together with vitamins, minerals and trace elements, to provide a balanced diet during the breeding season.
The food comes in distinctive bright red pellets, with nutrients distributed throughout the ration. This helps reduce selective eating compared with seed mixtures where parrots may choose favourite ingredients and leave nutritionally important components behind.
The 25kg bulk bag is particularly suitable for breeders, larger aviaries and homes feeding multiple parrots. Current South African listings confirm Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder is supplied in the 25kg format.

Formulated for Increased Breeding Requirements
Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg differs from a normal maintenance food because breeding birds have increased nutritional demands.
Avi Plus specifically states that additional food and nutrients are required when birds enter the breeding season and when parent birds are raising their own young. Their feeding guidance identifies breeder pellets as suitable for parrot species during this period.
Protein is particularly important during breeding and chick rearing because it supplies amino acids required for developing tissues and feathers. Dietary fat provides concentrated energy at a time when adult birds may be expending considerably more energy feeding themselves and their chicks.
The breeder pellets are therefore formulated with extra protein and fat compared with a maintenance feeding programme.
Now with Animal Protein
The Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder formulation was updated to include animal proteins.
Avi Products explained that animal protein was incorporated into its Complete Diet Breeder pellets to better reflect the insect-feeding behaviour that many birds naturally display during breeding.
This makes the breeder formula particularly appropriate during the period when increased protein intake becomes important for breeding adults and developing chicks.
A Complete Pelleted Diet
Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg is designed to provide balanced nutrition without requiring a bowl full of additional seed.
Avi Plus advises that its complete feeds are already nutritionally balanced and that vitamins, calcium or other nutritional supplements should not routinely be added unless specifically directed.
The breeder diet should therefore be used as the nutritional foundation rather than diluted with large quantities of seed.
Current product guidance specifically states that no seed is necessary when feeding Complete Diet Breeder and advises against mixing the pellets with other seeds or foods, apart from suitable fresh fruit and vegetables.
Suitable For
Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg is suitable for breeding parrots and other suitable members of the parrot family, including birds such as:
- African Greys
- Amazons
- Ringnecks
- Cockatiels
- Lovebirds
- Budgies
- Cockatoos
- Macaws
- Other breeding parrots and parakeets
Avi Plus notes that breeder pellets are suitable for parrot species generally, although certain species can have specialised nutritional requirements that should also be considered.
Feeding Guidelines
Feed Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg as the primary complete diet during breeding and while parents are feeding young.
Birds should have sufficient food available throughout the day. Avi Plus recommends providing enough feed that approximately 5% remains after feeding, which helps ensure birds are receiving enough food even when energy requirements suddenly increase.
Exact consumption varies depending on species, body size, temperature, activity, breeding stage and the number of chicks being raised.
Monitor body condition regularly and adjust the quantity offered when necessary.
Always provide clean, fresh drinking water in a separate container.
Suitable fresh fruit and vegetables may be offered separately for dietary variety.
Feeding During Chick Rearing
Nutritional demands can rise substantially once chicks hatch.
Avi Plus recommends increasing available food when parent birds are feeding chicks in the nest. Their breeder guidance notes that feed may need to increase by 100% or more, depending on the number and demands of growing chicks. Egg Food Breeder may also be supplied according to the Avi Plus breeding programme.
Ensure breeding pairs never run short of food during this period.
Storage
Store Avi Plus Complete Diet Breeder 25kg in a cool, dry area protected from moisture, direct sunlight, insects and rodents.
Because the 25kg bag is intended for bulk use, keeping opened food in clean, dry, tightly sealed containers can help maintain freshness.
Do not feed pellets that have become damp, mouldy or contaminated.
