Vetafarm NutriBlend Small Pellets 2kg – Complete Diet for Ringnecks & Small-Medium Parrots

Vetafarm NutriBlend Small Pellets 2kg: Complete Diet for Ringnecks & Small-Medium Parrots

Vetafarm NutriBlend Small is a complete, balanced pellet diet formulated by avian veterinarians for small to medium parrots, including ringnecks and alexandrines. These fruit-flavoured, multi-coloured extruded pellets are designed to give birds everything they need in one food, supporting feather development, tissue health and brain function when fed as the main diet. It's Australian owned and made.

The big advantage of a pellet diet is that every pellet is nutritionally complete. With a seed mix, birds pick out their favourites and leave the rest, which leads to an unbalanced diet and a lot of waste. NutriBlend removes that problem, no selective feeding, less mess, and balanced nutrition in every bite. The fruit flavour and bright colours are there specifically to help seed-eating birds accept pellets more readily, and the pellets are extrusion cooked for better palatability, digestibility and food safety.

Ingredients & Nutrition

NutriBlend Small is made from whole grains (corn, wheat and soybean), soy protein isolate and oat fibre, with vegetable oils and natural organic acids. It's fortified with amino acids (lysine and methionine), choline, a full vitamin package (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E, H and K) and minerals (calcium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulphur and zinc). The typical analysis is a minimum 17% crude protein and 5% crude fat, with a maximum 3.5% fibre and 0.5% salt.

How to Feed

NutriBlend should make up about 80% of your bird's daily diet, with the remaining 20% as fresh fruit and vegetables (around 15%) and a small amount of treats like nuts and seeds (around 5%). Vetafarm recommends feeding a minimum of 10% of your bird's bodyweight in pellets per day, so as a guide a 100g ringneck needs at least 10g of pellets daily, and a 250g alexandrine at least 25g. Always provide fresh, clean water. When switching a seed-eating bird onto pellets, introduce them gradually and be patient, as fussy birds can take time to convert.

Frequently Asked Questions

What birds are NutriBlend Small Pellets for?
They're formulated for small to medium parrots, particularly ringnecks and alexandrines and similar-sized birds. For smaller birds like budgies and cockatiels, Vetafarm's Mini pellets are the better-sized option.

What's in NutriBlend Small?
Whole grains (corn, wheat and soybean), soy protein isolate, oat fibre, vegetable oils and natural organic acids, plus added amino acids, choline, a full range of vitamins and minerals. The analysis is around 17% protein and 5% fat.

How much should I feed my bird?
Feed NutriBlend as about 80% of the diet, with 20% fresh fruit, vegetables and a few treats. As a guide, offer at least 10% of your bird's bodyweight in pellets daily, for example 10g for a 100g ringneck. Always provide fresh water.

Is it a complete diet?
Yes. When fed as 80% of the daily diet, NutriBlend provides the balanced protein, vitamins, minerals and amino acids your bird needs, with the remaining 20% coming from fresh foods for variety and enrichment.

How do I switch my bird from seed to pellets?
Introduce the pellets gradually alongside your bird's current food and increase the proportion over time. Some birds take to them quickly; fussy seed eaters can take longer, so be patient and persistent.

Why choose pellets over a seed mix?
Pellets stop selective feeding, where birds eat only their favourite seeds and miss out on balanced nutrition. Each NutriBlend pellet is complete, which supports better health and reduces waste.
