Yellow millet, red millet, canary seed, peeled oat, black millet, linseed, oat, Niger seed, healthy seeds, algae and calcium gluconate.

Approximately 2% of RIO Daily Feed for Budgies consists of Niger seed.

Niger seed naturally contains protein and fat and adds another small seed variety that is well suited to the feeding habits of budgies.

Linseed

Linseed is included as a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. RIO highlights these fatty acids for supporting healthy skin and bright, glossy plumage.

Algae

Algae adds further nutritional variety to the mixture. RIO includes algae in the formulation as nutritional support for the bird’s general health and immune system.

Calcium Gluconate

RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg also contains calcium gluconate. RIO uses calcium granules in the mixture as a readily available source of calcium to support healthy bones and the beak.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed approximately:

7–12g of RIO Daily Feed for Budgies per bird per day.

Ensure that your budgie always has enough food available and provide fresh, clean drinking water at all times.

The actual amount eaten may vary depending on the bird’s body size, age, activity level, environment and any additional foods offered.

Check the feeding dish every day. Budgies remove the outer husks from many seeds, and these empty husks can remain in the bowl and make it look as though plenty of food is still available. Remove husks and old food before topping up with a fresh daily portion.

Feeding During Moulting

RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg is formulated for normal everyday feeding.

RIO recommends switching to its specially formulated RIO Moulting Period Feed for Budgies when a bird is moulting. The moulting formula contains increased protein and fat compared with the everyday food and is designed to meet the additional nutritional demands of feather replacement.

Once the moulting period has finished, the bird can return to its normal RIO daily ration.

Add Variety to Your Budgie’s Diet

Although RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg provides a varied selection of seeds and grains, appropriate fresh foods can also be incorporated into a budgie’s feeding routine.

Suitable vegetables and other bird-safe fresh foods can provide additional dietary variety and enrichment. Introduce unfamiliar foods gradually and remove fresh foods before they spoil.

RIO also recommends that birds have continued access to an appropriate source of grit and minerals alongside their main food.

Fresh drinking water should always be available and should be replaced daily or more frequently if it becomes contaminated with seed husks, food or droppings.

Encourage Natural Feeding Behaviour

Budgies naturally spend considerable time searching for, selecting and opening seeds.

The diverse mixture in RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg provides several different seed types and textures for birds to investigate. Some of the bird’s measured daily allowance can also be incorporated into suitable bird-safe foraging activities to encourage natural feeding behaviour and provide additional enrichment.

Suitable For

RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg is specifically formulated for:

Budgerigars / Budgies

For larger parakeets and other bird species, RIO produces separate species-appropriate feeding mixtures with different ingredient combinations and feeding recommendations.

Storage

Store RIO Daily Feed for Budgies 1kg in a cool, dry place.

Keep the package securely closed after opening and protect the food from moisture and contamination. Food that becomes damp, mouldy or develops an unusual smell should not be fed.

Clean food containers regularly before replacing the daily ration.
