Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg

Versatile Soft Food for Cage and Aviary Birds

Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg is a versatile soft bird food designed to add valuable protein and amino acids to the feeding programme of a wide range of companion and aviary birds.

Unlike a species-specific seed mix, Dutch Soft Food has been developed as a general-purpose supplementary food that can be used across many bird species. Avi Plus specifically recommends it either as a base for a home-prepared soft-food mixture or simply moistened and served as a soft crumble as part of the bird’s normal daily ration.

With 15% protein and 5% fat, Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food offers additional nutrition without the considerably higher fat levels found in many seed-heavy foods. This makes it useful for bird keepers wanting to increase dietary variety and provide additional quality protein without simply increasing the amount of fatty seed offered.

Nutritional Analysis

This makes Dutch Soft Food a particularly useful option when you want the benefits of a nutritious soft food without the higher fat content of the egg-food formulations.

How to Feed

Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg can be fed in two main ways.

It may be lightly moistened and served as a soft crumble as part of the bird’s daily ration. Alternatively, it can be used as the nutritional base for a homemade soft-food mixture.

When moistening the food, prepare only an appropriate quantity for the birds being fed. Aim for a moist, crumbly consistency rather than a wet or soupy mixture.

Because moisture encourages food spoilage, remove uneaten moistened food regularly, particularly during warm South African weather. Wash feeding dishes before supplying a fresh portion.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water separately.

Suitable For

Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg has been developed for many cage and aviary species, including:

• Budgies
• Canaries
• Cockatiels
• Parrots
• Macaws
• Other suitable cage and aviary birds

Current South African product information specifically lists budgies, cockatiels, canaries, parrots and Macaws among the species for which Dutch Soft Food can be used.

Part of a Balanced Feeding Programme

Although Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg is highly nutritious, it is intended to form part of the daily ration or a soft-food mixture, rather than replacing an appropriate complete diet by itself.

Avi Plus recommends complete diets as the main nutritional foundation for birds, with additional foods selected according to species, life stage and nutritional requirements. Fresh fruit and vegetables can also be offered where appropriate for the species.

This makes Dutch Soft Food particularly flexible for breeders and bird keepers who already have an established feeding programme but want a convenient way to add soft food, protein and amino acids.

Storage

Store Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Keep the bag securely sealed after opening. Do not use food that has become damp, mouldy, contaminated or developed an unusual smell.

Once the product has been moistened, treat it as fresh food and remove uneaten portions rather than allowing them to remain in the cage for extended periods.

Why Choose Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg?

Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg is a useful cupboard staple for bird keepers because it is not restricted to one particular species or one specific feeding situation.

Its 15% protein, 5% fat, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and spirulina provide useful nutritional variety, while the soft-food format makes it easy to serve on its own as a moistened crumble or incorporate into a more elaborate homemade mixture.

For homes or aviaries keeping several different bird species, Avi Plus Dutch Soft Food 1kg offers a convenient and versatile way to add nutritious soft food to the everyday feeding programme.
