Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg

Balanced Daily Nutrition for Parakeets

Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg is specially formulated for smaller parrots and parakeets that benefit from a combination of grains, legumes, seeds and added nutritional support.

Designed for Ringnecks, Conures, Lovebirds and Cockatiels, the mix contains a finer fraction of rolled and roasted maize, peas and wheat together with a specially formulated soft-food supplement. Sunflower seed, manna, millet and canary seed are then added to provide familiar tastes, textures and natural feeding variety.

Unlike a basic seed-only mixture, Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg includes a nutritional supplement intended to provide the amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements needed to balance the food. Avi Plus specifically uses a specially formulated egg-food supplement in its Parakeet Mix and Small Seed Eater Mix, together with smaller seeds suited to these species.

Ingredients

Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg contains:

Rolled and roasted peas, maize and wheat, specially formulated nutritional supplement, sunflower seed, manna, millet and canary seed.

Rolled and Roasted Peas, Maize and Wheat

The foundation of the food consists of rolled and roasted peas, maize and wheat.

Cooking and rolling these ingredients creates a softer, more appealing texture while adding variety to the dry seeds included in the food.

The finer fraction used in Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg makes the mixture particularly suitable for smaller parrot species.

Sunflower Seed, Manna, Millet and Canary Seed

The addition of sunflower seed, manna, millet and canary seed provides familiar ingredients that Ringnecks, Cockatiels, Conures and Lovebirds naturally enjoy picking through.

Different seed sizes and textures also help make feeding more interesting and allow birds to practise normal behaviours such as selecting, cracking and dehusking food.

Nutritional Supplement

Avi Plus combines the grain and seed ingredients with a specially formulated nutritional supplement.

This component provides essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, helping balance the mixture nutritionally rather than relying entirely on the natural nutrient levels of seeds and grains.

Typical Nutritional Analysis

Avi Plus technical feeding information lists the Parakeet Complete Mix at approximately 14% protein and 6% fat.

Directions for Preparation

Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg may be softened by adding cold or lukewarm water.

For approximately 1kg dry feed, add:

300ml cold or lukewarm water.

Mix thoroughly so that the food is evenly moistened.

No lengthy soaking period is required.

Smaller Preparation Amounts

Prepared moist food should be offered fresh. Remove uneaten moist food before it spoils, particularly during warm weather.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water separately.

Suitable For

Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg is specifically recommended for:

• Ringneck Parakeets
• Conures
• Lovebirds
• Cockatiels

These species are specifically identified by Avi Plus retailers and product information as suitable for the Parakeet Complete Mix.

Feeding Variety for Active Birds

Ringnecks, Conures, Lovebirds and Cockatiels are naturally active and curious feeders.

The combination of smaller seeds, grains and legumes in Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg provides a variety of pieces for birds to pick through, helping make feeding more interesting than a uniform food alone.

Some of the daily ration can also be incorporated into suitable bird-safe foraging activities. This encourages birds to search for individual seeds and food pieces rather than consuming everything from one bowl.

Always use enrichment toys and feeding accessories appropriate for the size and strength of the bird.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

Suitable fresh fruit and vegetables can be offered alongside Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg to provide additional variety.

Avi Plus notes that fruit and vegetables may generally be added over and above its complete mixes because their high moisture content means they contribute relatively little dry matter to the total diet.

Fresh produce should be washed before feeding and any uneaten portions removed before they spoil.

Avoid known toxic foods for parrots, including avocado, chocolate, alcohol and caffeine.

Changing to Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix

When introducing Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg to a bird that has been eating another food, transition gradually.

Parakeets and small parrots can be selective feeders and may initially ignore unfamiliar ingredients. Begin by mixing a small quantity of the new food into the bird’s existing diet and gradually increase the proportion.

Monitor the bird carefully during dietary changes to ensure it continues eating normally.

Prevent Selective Feeding

Parakeets often develop strong preferences for particular seeds.

Continually topping up only sunflower seed or other favourite ingredients can encourage birds to leave the nutritionally important components behind.

Offer Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg as a complete mixture and monitor what is actually being consumed. Remove old husks and leftover food before adding the next fresh portion.

Storage

Store Avi Plus Complete Parakeet Mix 1kg in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

After opening, reseal the bag securely or transfer the food to a clean, dry, airtight container.

Do not feed food that has become damp, mouldy, contaminated or developed an unusual smell.

Once water has been added, treat the mixture as fresh moist food and remove uneaten portions regularly.
