Avi Plus Delights African Grey
A Varied Food Mix Created for African Grey Parrots
Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg is a species-specific seed, fruit, nut, grain and pellet mixture formulated with African Grey parrots in mind.
African Greys are intelligent birds that benefit from variety in both their environment and their food. Avi Plus Delights provides a mixture of different shapes, tastes and textures that encourages natural picking and foraging while adding nutritional variety to the daily feeding routine.
An important feature of Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg is the inclusion of nutrient-enriched parrot kibble. Avi Plus explains that the pellets added to its Delights seed mixtures supply vitamins, minerals and amino acids that may be absent from seed-only diets.

Ingredients
Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg contains:
Sunflower seed, millet, whole oats, buckwheat, hemp seed, canary seed, linseed, pumpkin seed, groundnuts, dried fruit, roasted and rolled maize, peas, barley and nutrient-enriched parrot kibble.
Seeds and Grains
The mixture contains a broad selection of seeds and grains including sunflower seed, millet, oats, buckwheat, canary seed, linseed, hemp seed, maize and barley.
Offering different seed sizes and textures helps make feeding more interesting and gives African Greys an opportunity to sort, pick and manipulate their food.
Pumpkin Seed and Groundnuts
Pumpkin seed and groundnuts add larger pieces to the mixture that African Greys can hold and work on with their feet and beaks, adding an element of natural feeding enrichment.
Dried Fruit and Vegetables
Dried fruit and peas add further variety to Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg, providing different flavours and textures alongside the seeds and grains.
Nutrient-Enriched Parrot Kibble
The added parrot kibble is an important part of the Avi Plus Delights formulation.
Avi Plus describes its Delights range as species-specific mixtures of seed, fruit, nuts and pellets, with the pellets helping provide vitamins, minerals and amino acids that may be absent from seed-only diets.
For this reason, allow your African Grey access to the full mixture rather than continually topping up only the bird’s favourite seeds.
Feeding Guidelines
Feed approximately:
10–20g of Avi Plus Delights African Grey per bird per day.
Feed in conjunction with a suitable pellet diet, fresh fruit and vegetables. Fresh, clean drinking water should be available at all times.
| Bird | Recommended Daily Amount |
|---|---|
| African Grey Parrot | Approximately 10–20g daily |
The exact amount required may vary according to your bird’s size, activity level, body condition and the amount of pellets and fresh foods offered.
Feeding as Part of a Varied Diet
Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg is designed to add variety to an African Grey’s daily feeding programme rather than relying exclusively on plain seeds.
Alongside the Delights mixture, offer an appropriate formulated parrot pellet and suitable fresh vegetables. Appropriate fruit can also be offered as part of a varied feeding routine.
Fresh foods should be washed before feeding and any uneaten portions removed before they spoil. Food and water bowls should be cleaned regularly to help maintain good hygiene.
When changing your African Grey from another food, introduce the new mixture gradually. Parrots can be cautious about unfamiliar foods and may initially ignore new colours, shapes or textures.
Encourage Your Bird to Eat the Whole Mix
African Greys can become very good at finding their favourite ingredients and leaving everything else behind.
Regularly check what your bird is actually eating. A bowl may still contain plenty of food even though the preferred seeds and larger pieces have already been eaten.
The combination of seeds, grains, fruit, nuts and enriched kibble in Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg is intended to provide variety, so allowing the bird access to all components of the mix is preferable to continually replacing individual favourites.
Feeding Enrichment for Intelligent Parrots
African Greys are naturally curious birds, and feeding can provide an important opportunity for enrichment.
Instead of always offering the entire portion in one bowl, some of the Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg daily allowance can be incorporated into suitable foraging activities. Food may be placed in bird-safe foraging toys or appropriate feeding stations that encourage the parrot to search and work for selected pieces.
Always ensure that any enrichment equipment used is safe and suitable for the size and strength of an African Grey.
Suitable For
Avi Plus Delights African Grey 1kg is formulated specifically for:
