Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg

A Versatile Complete Mix for Parrots and Larger Parakeets

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg is a tasty and versatile food developed for a wide range of parrots and larger parakeets. Instead of relying on a conventional dry seed mixture, the formula combines rolled and roasted grains and legumes with a specialised soft-food nutritional premix.

The main cooked ingredients include maize, peas and wheat. These are combined with a balanced supplement containing the vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids required to improve the nutritional quality of the mixture.

One of the advantages of Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg is its flexibility. The base food is intentionally relatively low in fat, making it possible to adjust the diet for different parrot species by adding appropriate sources of dietary fat when required.

It is also simple to prepare. Add cold or lukewarm water to soften and moisten the mix. No lengthy soaking period is required.

Ingredients

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg contains ingredients including:

Maize, wheat, wheat by-products, peas, prime gluten, specially prepared soya, vegetable oils, methionine, lysine, dicalcium phosphate, casein, calcium carbonate, sugar, salt, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Rolled and Roasted Grains and Peas

The core of Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg consists of rolled and roasted maize, peas and wheat.

The ingredients are cooked before being incorporated into the mixture. This gives the food a different consistency and feeding experience compared with an ordinary uncooked seed mixture.

Balanced Soft-Food Premix

The cooked grains and legumes are combined with a specialised nutritional supplement.

Avi Plus states that its complete mixes include the required spectrum of amino acids, vitamins and minerals to balance the underlying ingredients.

Essential amino acids such as methionine and lysine are included in the formulation, together with mineral sources and other nutritional ingredients.

Nutritional Analysis

The published Avi Plus complete-mix technical information lists Complete Parrot Mix at 16% protein and 4% fat.

The relatively low fat level is intentional. It allows the bird keeper to increase the dietary fat content where necessary according to the requirements of the species being fed.

Directions for Preparation

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg is a convenient just-add-water food.

Add approximately:

400ml cold or lukewarm water per 1kg dry food.

Mix thoroughly until the food is evenly moistened.

No soaking time is required.

For smaller quantities, the same ratio can be reduced proportionally.

Prepared moist food should be served fresh. Remove uneaten moist food regularly, particularly during warm weather, and keep food bowls clean.

Fresh drinking water should always be available.

Adjusting the Fat Level for Different Birds

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg is designed as an adaptable base food.

The manufacturer explains that fat levels can be increased by adding seeds or a suitable source of vegetable oil according to the requirements of individual species.

Birds with comparatively lower fat requirements may be able to use the mixture without additional high-fat ingredients, while species with higher requirements may benefit from the addition of suitable seeds.

Published Avi Plus feeding guidance gives Galahs, Ringnecks and Cockatiels as examples of birds that may be fed the low-fat mixture as supplied. African Greys, Conures and Eclectus parrots are examples where additional dietary fat may be appropriate, commonly through sunflower seed or another suitable vegetable-fat source.

Add Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

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

Avi Plus notes that the high moisture content of fruit and vegetables allows them to be incorporated for feeding variety without significantly affecting the nutritional balance of the complete food for most parrot species.

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

Encourages Feeding Variety

Large parrots and parakeets naturally encounter foods with a range of textures and consistencies.

The combination of cooked grains, legumes and soft food in Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg gives birds something different from a standard dry seed bowl. The moist preparation can also encourage birds to investigate and manipulate different food pieces.

Suitable bird-safe vegetables or other approved foods can be incorporated separately to provide even more variety and enrichment.

Suitable For

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg is designed for a wide range of:

• Parrots
• Larger parakeets
• African Grey parrots
• Conures
• Eclectus parrots
• Ringnecks
• Cockatiels
• Galahs
• Other suitable medium and large parrots

The quantity and any additional fat sources should be adjusted according to the species, body condition and individual nutritional requirements.

Storage

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

Keep the dry food securely sealed after opening. Once water has been added, treat the mixture as fresh moist food and remove uneaten portions regularly to prevent spoilage.

Always wash feeding containers before adding a fresh portion.

Product Specifications

Why Choose Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg?

Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg provides a convenient alternative to feeding parrots an ordinary seed mixture alone. Rolled and roasted maize, peas and wheat provide the base, while the specialised soft-food premix adds important vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids.

Its 16% protein and 4% fat formulation makes the food particularly adaptable. Keep the base mixture relatively low in fat for species with lower requirements or add suitable seeds or vegetable fat where the particular parrot requires a higher-fat diet.

Preparation is equally straightforward. Add water, mix and serve, with no overnight soaking required. For parrot owners looking for an adaptable, varied and easy-to-prepare food, Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix 1kg provides a practical option for everyday feeding.
