This 1.6kg pack is made up of fruit-flavoured, multi-coloured pellets that seed-eating birds take to readily, and it's extrusion-cooked for palatability, digestibility and food safety. It's designed as a balanced maintenance diet that helps keep large parrots at a healthy weight, and it's 100% Australian owned and made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe advantage of a complete pellet over a seed mix is that birds can't feed selectively. With seed, parrots pick out their favourites and miss out on key nutrients, whereas every Nutriblend pellet carries the full balance of vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids. When fed as the main diet, that consistent nutrition supports feather development, tissue and brain function, and it cuts out the waste that comes with seed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuaranteed Nutrition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVet-formulated, nutritionally complete maintenance diet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtrusion-cooked for palatability, digestibility and food safety\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit-flavoured, multi-coloured pellets for better acceptance by seed-eaters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBalanced vitamins, minerals, calcium and essential amino acids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReduces selective feeding and seed waste\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIngredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhole grains (corn, wheat, soybean), soy protein isolate, oat fibre, vegetable oils and natural organic acids, amino acids (lysine and methionine), a full vitamin premix (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E, H and K) and choline, plus minerals including calcium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulphur and zinc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVetafarm recommends Nutriblend makes up around 80% of the daily diet, with the remaining 20% from fresh fruit and vegetables (about 15%) and a small amount of treats like nuts and seeds (about 5%).
