Vetafarm Nutriblend Small Pellets Complete Diet for Parrots 10kg

Vetafarm Nutriblend Small Pellets: Vet-Formulated Complete Diet for Parrots

Vetafarm Nutriblend Small Pellets are a complete, vet-formulated diet for small to medium parrots such as ringnecks, alexandrines, cockatiels, quakers and similar birds. Formulated by avian veterinarians in Australia, these fruit-flavoured, multi-coloured pellets give your bird balanced nutrition in every bite and take the guesswork out of feeding. The "Small" pellet size suits birds a step up from budgies, and this 10kg bag is the bulk size for multi-bird households and aviaries.

Unlike a seed mix, where birds pick out their favourites and leave the rest, an extruded pellet means every piece carries the same balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids. This stops selective feeding and the nutritional gaps that come with it, while the fruity flavour and colour make the pellets easy for seed-eating birds to accept.

The pellets are extrusion cooked for palatability, digestibility and food safety, and are designed to help maintain your bird at a healthy weight. Fed as the main diet, Nutriblend supports good feather development, tissue health and brain function, and cuts down on the waste and mess of loose seed.

Ingredients

Whole grains (corn, wheat, soybean), soy protein isolate, oat fibre, vegetable oils and natural organic acids, amino acids (lysine and methionine), fruity flavours (apple, blueberry and raspberry), plus a balanced range of vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E, H and K) and minerals (including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc).

Feeding Guide

Nutriblend should make up about 80% of your bird's daily diet, with the remaining 20% from healthy fruit and vegetables (around 15%) and a small amount of treats such as nuts and seeds (around 5%). As a guide, most birds eat about 10% of their body weight in pellets per day, so a 100g ringneck would need a minimum of around 10g of pellets daily, and a 250g alexandrine around 25g. Always provide fresh, clean water. If your bird is currently on a seed-only diet, introduce the pellets gradually rather than switching suddenly, and check with your avian vet if your bird has any special dietary needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What birds are Nutriblend Small Pellets for?
They suit small to medium parrots like ringnecks, alexandrines, cockatiels and quakers. The Small pellet size is a step up from the Mini size made for budgies and smaller birds.

Is it a complete diet?
Yes. It is a complete, vet-formulated maintenance diet designed to be fed as your bird's main food, at around 80% of the daily diet.

How is it better than a seed mix?
Because every pellet is the same, birds can't pick out favourites and leave the rest, so they get balanced nutrition instead of the gaps that come with selective seed feeding.

How do I switch my bird from seed to pellets?
Introduce the pellets gradually alongside the current diet rather than changing over suddenly, so your bird learns to accept them. Vetafarm has conversion tips, and your avian vet can help.

What is the difference between Mini, Small and Large?
They are the same style of diet in different pellet sizes. Mini suits budgies and small birds, Small suits small to medium parrots like ringnecks, and Large suits big birds like macaws and cockatoos.
