Nature’s Nest Avian Complete

Complete Vet-Formulated Nutrition for Companion Birds

Nature’s Nest Avian Complete is a balanced pelleted bird food formulated to provide the essential nutrients companion birds need as the nutritional foundation of their everyday diet.

Instead of relying on a mixture where birds can pick out favourite seeds and leave other ingredients behind, every pellet delivers a consistent combination of nutrients. Nature’s Nest describes Avian Complete as a complete daily diet formulated around avian biology, with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements considered as part of the overall formulation.

The recipe is suitable for a wide range of companion parrots and parakeets, including Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Ringnecks, Senegal parrots, African Greys, Amazons, Cockatoos and Macaws. Nature’s Nest also produces Avian Softgrain for birds that require a softer or finer texture, particularly very small birds or those with sensitive beaks.

Why Pellets Can Help Reduce Selective Feeding

Parrots can become extremely good at searching through mixed foods and eating only their favourite ingredients. In seed-heavy mixtures, favourites such as sunflower seeds may disappear while other components remain untouched.

Nature’s Nest Avian Complete is pelleted so that the key nutritional components are incorporated into a consistent food. This helps reduce the opportunity for a bird to selectively consume only certain ingredients.

Nature’s Nest positions Avian Complete as the nutritional starting point of the bowl, with the pellets providing the consistent daily foundation while fresh foods and suitable treats provide additional variety and enrichment.

Feeding Guidelines

Nature’s Nest Avian Complete should make up at least 60% of your bird’s daily diet.

The remaining portion can include suitable fresh fruit, vegetables and occasional treats.

Daily Feeding Guide

The manufacturer’s feeding volumes are based on a standard 250ml cup.

Use these quantities as a starting guide. Individual requirements may vary according to species, body size, activity level, appetite and the amount of fresh food offered.

Always provide clean, fresh drinking water.

How Long Does 1kg Last?

Nature’s Nest provides the following approximate guide for a 1kg pack:

Actual usage will depend on the bird, portion size and the amount of other food included in the diet.

Suitable For

Nature’s Nest Avian Complete is suitable for many popular companion birds, including:

• Lovebirds
• Cockatiels
• Ringnecks
• Senegal parrots
• African Grey parrots
• Amazon parrots
• Cockatoos
• Macaws

Nature’s Nest specifically lists these species as suitable for Avian Complete. For birds outside these examples, use the closest comparable species and size as a feeding reference.

Adding Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

A complete pellet diet provides consistency, but feeding can still be varied and interesting.

Nature’s Nest recommends using Nature’s Nest Avian Complete as at least 60% of the daily diet and complementing it with suitable fresh fruit, vegetables and occasional treats.

Fresh produce should be washed before feeding and uneaten portions removed before they spoil. Avoid foods known to be unsafe for companion birds, and ensure fresh drinking water remains available throughout the day.

Transitioning to Nature’s Nest Avian Complete

Birds accustomed to loose seeds may initially be hesitant to eat pellets. Changes to a bird’s main food should therefore be introduced carefully.

Gradually increase the proportion of Nature’s Nest Avian Complete while monitoring your bird to ensure it continues eating properly. Never assume a bird is eating the new food simply because it is moving or breaking the pellets.

Regularly monitor body condition and food intake during any dietary change.

Storage

Store Nature’s Nest Avian Complete in a cool, dry location away from excessive heat, moisture and direct sunlight.

Keep the resealable pouch properly closed after opening to maintain freshness and protect the pellets from moisture and contamination.

Do not feed food that has become damp, mouldy or developed an unusual smell.

Available Sizes

Nature’s Nest Avian Complete is available in:

• 1kg resealable stand-up pouch
• 5kg box containing 4 x 1.25kg zip-lock bags
