Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg

High-Fat Complete Food for Large Parrots

Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg is specially formulated for parrots with naturally higher dietary fat requirements. The combination of cooked grains and legumes, sunflower seed, mixed nuts and palm oil provides a ready-prepared high-fat food without requiring owners to calculate and add additional nuts or seeds themselves.

Avi Plus developed its Complete Mix range to accommodate the different nutritional requirements of various bird species. While African Greys and Amazons are generally matched to the 10% fat Sutherland formulation, Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg contains 20% fat and is specifically recommended for high-fat-requirement species such as Macaws and Palm Cockatoos.

The food also contains the Avi Plus Parrot/Parakeet nutritional supplement, which supplies and balances the amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required in the overall formulation.

Ingredients

Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg contains:

Rolled and roasted peas, maize and wheat, Avi Plus Parrot/Parakeet supplement, palm oil, mixed nuts and sunflower seed.

Rolled and Roasted Peas, Maize and Wheat

The base of the formulation combines rolled and roasted peas, maize and wheat.

These ingredients provide a mixture of legumes and grains with different textures, allowing large parrots to pick through and manipulate their food while eating.

The roasted and rolled ingredients are combined with the Avi Plus nutritional supplement so that the mixture provides much more than a basic collection of grains and seeds.

Mixed Nuts and Sunflower Seed

Mixed nuts and sunflower seed help increase the overall energy and fat content of Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg.

These ingredients also provide the larger pieces that Macaws and other large parrots naturally enjoy manipulating with their beaks and feet.

Rather than requiring owners to add nuts and sunflower seed separately, they are already incorporated into the High Fat formulation in order to achieve the intended nutritional profile.

Palm Oil

Palm oil provides an additional concentrated source of fat.

Together with the nuts and sunflower seed, it increases the overall fat content of the food to approximately 20%, making this formula suitable for species with higher fat requirements.

Nutritional Analysis

Avi Plus technical information lists Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix at 16% protein and 20% fat.

The 20% fat level is the major difference between this food and the standard Sutherland 10% Fat Complete Mix.

Suitable For

Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg is particularly suited to large parrots with naturally higher dietary fat requirements.

Avi Plus specifically recommends the formula for:

• Macaws
• Palm Cockatoos
• Other suitable parrot species requiring a high-fat diet

The manufacturer’s technical feeding guide identifies Macaws and Palm Cockatoos as the large-parrot group for which Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix is recommended.

Feeding Guidelines

For large parrots such as Macaws and Palm Cockatoos, Avi Plus provides a practical feeding recommendation of:

Approximately 120g Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix per pair per day.

Individual requirements can vary according to species, body size, activity level, age, environmental conditions, breeding status and body condition.

Avi Plus recommends ensuring that birds have enough food available while avoiding excessive overfeeding that encourages selective eating. Their feeding guidance suggests approximately 5% food remaining after feeding as a practical indication that adequate food has been offered.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water.

Directions for Preparation

Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg can be lightly moistened before feeding.

Add approximately:

100–200ml cold or lukewarm water per 1kg dry food.

No soaking period is required.

Preparation Guide

Mix thoroughly until evenly moistened.

Prepared moist food should be offered fresh. Remove uneaten moistened food regularly, especially during warm weather.

Complete High-Fat Formulation

One of the main advantages of Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg is that the additional fat sources have already been incorporated into the mixture.

The standard Avi Plus Complete Parrot Mix contains approximately 4% fat and is designed so that bird owners can add an appropriate fat source according to the species being fed. The Sutherland 10% Mix already contains added seed and palm oil for birds with moderate fat requirements.

The High Fat formulation goes further by including sunflower seed, palm oil and mixed nuts, raising the fat content to approximately 20% for birds that naturally require a richer diet.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

Suitable fresh fruits and vegetables may be offered alongside Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg to provide additional feeding variety.

Avi Plus states that fruit and vegetables may generally be supplied in addition to its Complete Mix diets because of their high moisture content.

Wash fresh produce thoroughly and remove uneaten portions before they spoil.

Avoid Excessive Selective Feeding

Macaws and other large parrots can become highly selective, particularly when nuts and sunflower seeds are available.

Feeding excessively large portions may allow a bird to continually choose only its favourite high-fat ingredients while leaving other components of the balanced mixture behind.

Providing appropriate portions of Avi Plus Sutherland High Fat Complete Mix 1kg helps encourage consumption of the complete mixture and supports the nutritional balance intended by Avi Plus.

Storage

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

Keep the bag securely closed after opening or transfer the food into 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 before they spoil.
