Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg

Complete Maintenance Nutrition for Adult Parrots

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is a nutritionally complete, pelleted food developed specifically for parrots that are not actively breeding or feeding chicks.

Maintenance birds have different nutritional requirements from breeding parrots. Avi Plus has therefore adjusted the protein and energy levels of this formula to suit adult parrots between breeding seasons as well as birds approaching sexual maturity. The result is a convenient everyday food containing balanced levels of protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Because Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is formulated as a complete diet, additional seed mixtures or vitamin and mineral supplements are not required for nutritional balance. This makes feeding straightforward while reducing the opportunity for parrots to select only their favourite high-fat seeds.

Ingredients

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg contains:

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

Balanced Protein and Amino Acids

Protein plays an important role in maintaining muscle, feathers and normal body tissues. The formulation provides a minimum of 16% protein, with added amino acids including methionine and lysine.

These amino acids help improve the overall amino-acid balance of the food, making Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg more nutritionally complete than relying on a mixture of individual seeds.

Controlled Fat for Maintenance Birds

The formula contains a minimum of 6% fat, providing energy while remaining appropriate for birds in a maintenance phase rather than birds with the increased nutritional demands associated with breeding and chick rearing.

Calcium and Phosphorus

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance provides:

Calcium and phosphorus are important minerals involved in normal skeletal structure and numerous physiological processes. Their inclusion at defined levels is another advantage of feeding a nutritionally formulated pellet rather than allowing a parrot to live primarily on selected seeds.

Complete Pelleted Food

One of the biggest benefits of Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is its convenient pelleted format.

Parrots offered loose seed mixtures can become highly selective feeders. Some birds quickly learn to pick out sunflower seeds, nuts or other favourite high-energy ingredients while leaving less-preferred foods behind.

With a formulated pellet, the important nutrients are incorporated into the food rather than being separated into individual ingredients that the bird can selectively discard.

This helps provide more consistent nutrition from meal to meal.

Feeding Guidelines

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is designed to be fed as a complete maintenance diet.

Offer the pellets dry in a clean feeding dish or hopper. The manufacturer states that the maintenance diet requires no additional seed or other feedstuffs to provide complete nutrition.

The exact amount consumed will vary according to:

• Species
• Body size
• Age
• Activity level
• Environmental temperature
• Body condition

Provide enough food to maintain a healthy body condition and monitor your bird’s weight regularly.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water in a separate container.

Can Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Be Offered?

Suitable fresh fruit and vegetables may be offered alongside Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg for variety and enrichment.

Fresh foods should be washed thoroughly and removed before they spoil. The pelleted maintenance food should remain the nutritionally balanced foundation of the feeding programme rather than being displaced by large quantities of treats or high-fat seeds.

Suitable For

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is formulated for psittacines, meaning birds in the parrot family, that are in a maintenance rather than breeding phase.

It is suitable for adult parrots that:

• Are not actively breeding
• Are not feeding chicks
• Are between breeding seasons
• Are growing towards sexual maturity
• Require a convenient complete maintenance diet

The formula is intended to help maintain birds in good condition without the increased nutrient levels required during active breeding.

Not Intended for Breeding Birds

Parrots that are actively breeding or feeding chicks have increased nutritional demands.

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg is specifically formulated for non-breeding birds. Breeding birds should therefore receive a food formulated for the breeding and chick-rearing period rather than relying on the Maintenance formulation.

Transitioning from Seed to Pellets

Parrots accustomed to seed may initially be cautious about pellets. Any major dietary change should therefore be made gradually while carefully monitoring the bird to ensure it continues eating.

Introduce Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg progressively and observe actual food intake rather than assuming that food disappearing from the bowl has been eaten.

Birds should never be deliberately starved in an attempt to force them to accept a new diet.

Storage

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

Keep the bag securely closed after opening or transfer the food to a clean, dry, airtight food-storage container.

Do not feed food that has become damp, mouldy, contaminated or developed an unusual smell. Clean feeding bowls regularly and replace the food with a fresh portion as required.

Why Choose Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg?

Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg takes much of the guesswork out of feeding an adult parrot.

The 16% protein and 6% fat formulation is specifically designed for parrots in the maintenance stage rather than birds with the increased nutritional demands of breeding and feeding chicks.

For parrot parents looking for straightforward everyday nutrition without needing to mix seeds, supplements and additional feedstuffs, Avi Plus Parrot Maintenance 1kg provides a practical complete feeding solution.
