Vetafarm Softbill Food 10kg – Vet-Formulated Complete Diet for Soft-Billed Birds

Vetafarm Softbill Food 10kg: Complete Diet for Soft-Billed Birds

Vetafarm Softbill Food is a nutritionally complete diet formulated by avian veterinarians specifically for soft-billed birds. It's an extrusion-cooked formula, so rather than a loose seed mix it's a cooked diet designed for palatability, digestibility and food safety, and it can be fed either as a complete diet on its own or to supplement an existing diet. It supports vitality, song and breeding performance, and it's made in Australia by Vetafarm from Australian ingredients.

Softbills have quite different diets in the wild, so this formula is built to suit the range of feeding types found among soft-billed species, including carnivorous, insectivorous, omnivorous, frugivorous, nectivorous and folivorous birds. That's the point of a vet-formulated diet like this: it delivers consistent, balanced nutrition that a variable seed or live-food diet often can't.

Birds It Suits

Vetafarm recommends Softbill Food for soft-billed species including, but not limited to:

• Canaries

• Green and grey singing finches

• White eye birds

• Hwa Mei

• Larks

• Magpie robin

• Hill blue flycatcher

• Siberian red-throated flycatcher

• Pied bush chat

• Gracula religiosa (hill mynah)

What's In It

Softbill Food is built around whole grains and quality protein, then fortified with the amino acids, vitamins and minerals softbills need:

• Whole grains (wheat, corn) and lucerne

• Soy protein and vegetable oils

• Natural organic acids

• Added amino acids (lysine, methionine, choline and threonine)

• A broad vitamin premix (including A, D3, E, C, K and the B group)

• Minerals including calcium, iron, copper, iodine, magnesium and cobalt

How to Feed It

Softbill Food can be used as a complete diet or alongside your birds' existing food. Offer it in a clean, dry dish placed where it won't be fouled by droppings or water, and replace it if it becomes contaminated. Provide fresh, clean water at all times, and where appropriate for your species, fresh fruit and vegetables can be offered as variety and enrichment. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place so the diet stays fresh, which matters more with a 10kg bag being used over time.
