Passwell Small Bird Crumbles 1kg – Complete Low-Fat Diet for Small Birds

Passwell Small Bird Crumbles 1kg: Complete Low-Fat Diet for Small Birds

Passwell Small Bird Crumbles are a complete and balanced diet formulated for small birds, offering a healthier alternative to a dry seed diet. They're suitable for small parrots, cockatiels, budgies, lovebirds, canaries, finches, quail and doves. Each crumble carries a full balance of nutrients, so birds get proper nutrition in every mouthful, rather than picking out favourite seeds and missing out.

Seed diets are naturally low in several nutrients, so Crumbles are built to fill those gaps with elevated levels of essential amino acids, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The formula is low in fat, which helps with weight control in pet birds that don't get a lot of exercise, and because the crumbles are 100% edible, there are no seed hulls or leftovers dropped around the cage. That makes them far less messy than seed, which is a real plus for indoor birds.

Ingredients

Ground grains (triticale, wheat, barley, maize and oats), whey and soy proteins, meat meal, lysine, methionine, vegetable oils, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D3, E and K, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, folic acid, choline, inositol, and the minerals calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium.

How to Feed

Crumbles are designed to make up around 80% of the diet, with the remaining 20% offered as fresh fruit and vegetables, seeding grasses or sprouted seed. Feed them dry in a clean dish, with fresh water always available. For very small birds like finches and canaries, the crumbles can be lightly ground down to a finer grade.

Converting from seed: Birds used to seed need to adjust their feeding technique, so introduce Crumbles gradually. Start with a 50:50 mix of Crumbles and seed, then increase the proportion of Crumbles over several days, removing the seed once the birds are eating the Crumbles reliably. At first they may just break the crumbles apart, but they'll soon learn to eat them fully, including the fine powder. Avoid changing the diet on very hot or very cold days, or when your bird is stressed. For breeding birds, increase Crumbles by around 50% and supplement with a Passwell soft food suited to your species.

Are they a complete diet?
Yes. Crumbles are complete and balanced and are designed to make up around 80% of the diet, with the other 20% as fresh fruit, vegetables and sprouted seed.

How do I switch my birds from seed to crumbles?
Introduce them gradually. Start with a 50:50 mix of Crumbles and seed, increase the Crumbles proportion over several days, and remove the seed once the birds are eating the Crumbles well. Avoid changing the diet on very hot, very cold or stressful days.

Why choose crumbles over seed?
Seed diets are low in several nutrients and let birds selectively feed. Crumbles provide balanced nutrition in every bite, are lower in fat for weight control, and being 100% edible they leave no hulls or mess.

Can I feed them to finches and canaries?
Yes. For very small birds, the crumbles can be lightly ground down to a finer grade that's easier for them to eat.

What should I feed alongside the crumbles?
Offer up to 20% of the diet as fresh fruit and vegetables, seeding grasses or sprouted seed, with fresh water always available. For breeding birds, increase crumbles and add a suitable Passwell soft food.
