Vetafarm Macaw Nuts Complete Diet for Macaws & Large Parrots 10kg

Vetafarm Macaw Nuts: Vet-Formulated Complete Diet for Macaws & Large Parrots

Vetafarm Macaw Nuts are a complete, vet-formulated diet designed specifically for macaws and other large parrots, including amazons, African greys and large cockatoos. Made in Australia by avian veterinarians, these large, nut-shaped and nut-flavoured pellets contain real nuts to appeal to exotic parrots and replicate the kind of food they seek out in the wild.

Larger parrots have high energy needs and demanding appetites, and Macaw Nuts are built for that, delivering the fatty acids, protein, vitamins and minerals these birds need for year-round maintenance, with the extra nutrition to support breeding, chick growth and good feather condition. It is extrusion cooked for palatability, digestibility and food safety, and the bigger pellet size suits large beaks better than standard pellets.

Because it is nut-flavoured with real nuts mixed through, it is often accepted by fussy large parrots that turn their beaks up at plain pellets, and the nut shape encourages natural chewing and foraging. As a complete diet it cuts down on the selective feeding and waste that come with seed mixes, so your bird gets balanced nutrition in every piece. This 10kg bag is the bulk size, well suited to large-parrot owners and breeders.

Ingredients

Whole Australian grains and nuts (wheat, corn, soybean, peanuts and almonds), potato starch, chicory root extract, vegetable oils and natural organic acids, amino acids (lysine, methionine and threonine), choline, plus a balanced range of vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E, H and K) and minerals (including calcium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulphur and zinc).

Feeding Guide

Macaw Nuts should make up about 80% of your bird's daily diet, with the remaining 20% from fresh fruit and vegetables (around 15%) and a small amount of fresh hand-selected nuts such as almonds, walnuts and macadamias (around 5%) for enrichment. Make it freely available as the primary food source, and always provide fresh, clean water. If your bird is currently on a seed diet, introduce the nuts gradually rather than switching suddenly, and check with your avian vet for birds with special dietary needs.
