Ingredients

RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets 1kg contains:

Yellow millet, red millet, canary seed, peeled oat, buckwheat, white sorghum, safflower seed, sunflower seed, paddy rice, black millet, linseed, oat, Niger seed, healthy seeds, dried rowanberry, dried carrot, algae and calcium gluconate.

Millet and Canary Seed

Yellow, red and black millet provide a selection of small seeds that parakeets can naturally pick and dehusk.

Canary seed is another traditional ingredient commonly used in food for seed-eating companion birds and adds further variety to the mixture.

Oats, Buckwheat and Sorghum

Peeled oats, whole oats, buckwheat and white sorghum provide additional grain variety and help create a mixture with different sizes, shapes and textures.

Safflower and Sunflower Seed

RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets 1kg also contains safflower and sunflower seeds. These larger seeds add variety and are particularly attractive to many cockatiels and lovebirds.

Because individual birds may selectively choose their favourite seeds, monitor the contents of the food bowl and encourage consumption of the broader mixture rather than continually replacing only preferred ingredients.

Linseed

RIO highlights linseed as a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, which contribute to healthy skin and plumage.

Dried Rowanberries and Carrots

Dried rowanberries and carrots add fruit and vegetable ingredients to the seed and grain mixture.

RIO includes these ingredients as sources of nutritional variety and specifically highlights them for supporting normal skin and eyesight.

Algae and Calcium

Algae is included as another nutritional component of the formulation.

Calcium gluconate provides an additional calcium source. RIO highlights its inclusion as nutritional support for healthy bones and the beak.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed approximately:

20–30g of RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets per bird per day.

Ensure that birds always have access to enough food and clean, fresh drinking water.

The exact amount consumed may vary depending on species, body size, age, activity, environmental temperature and additional foods offered.

Check food bowls daily. Birds remove husks from many seeds, and these empty husks can remain in the bowl, making it appear fuller than it actually is. Remove old husks and debris before providing the next fresh portion.

Feeding During Moulting

RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets 1kg is intended for normal everyday feeding.

During moulting, RIO recommends using its separate RIO Moulting Period Feed for Parakeets, which is specially formulated for the increased nutritional demands associated with feather replacement.

Once moulting has finished, birds can return to their normal RIO daily ration.

Add Variety to the Daily Diet

Although RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets 1kg contains a broad mixture of seeds, grains, berries and vegetables, suitable fresh foods can also be offered according to the needs of the particular bird species.

Fresh vegetables and bird-safe foods can provide additional dietary variety and enrichment. Any fresh produce should be washed before feeding and removed before it spoils.

When introducing unfamiliar foods, make changes gradually. Birds can be cautious about new ingredients, and a slow transition helps them become accustomed to different flavours and textures.

RIO also recommends that birds have ongoing access to a suitable source of sand and minerals alongside their primary food.

Encourages Natural Feeding Behaviour

Cockatiels, lovebirds and other parakeets naturally spend considerable time searching for, selecting and opening food.

With 18 different ingredients, RIO Daily Feed for Parakeets 1kg gives birds a range of foods to pick through and explore.

Some of the measured daily ration may also be incorporated into suitable bird-safe foraging activities to encourage natural feeding behaviour and make mealtimes more interesting.

Suitable For

RIO specifically recommends this daily feed for:

• Cockatiels
• Lovebirds
• Other larger parakeets

Storage

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

Keep the package securely closed after opening and protect it from moisture, insects and contamination.
