Overview

Maintenance Diet is Vetafarm’s original veterinary-formulated diet designed for all parrots. It contains no artificial colours, flavours, or added sugars. Proudly made in Australia with fresh local produce and backed by over 30 years of avian nutritional expertise, this diet is both delicious and highly beneficial for your bird. It provides balanced nutrition that supports growth, feather health, brain function, and overall wellbeing.

Why Nutrition Matters

Unbalanced diets often lead to deficiencies, which may result in serious health conditions such as musculoskeletal disease, cardiac problems, reproductive issues, iron storage disease, and hepatic lipidosis. To prevent these risks, Vetafarm Maintenance Diet has been carefully developed to meet all core nutritional requirements in one convenient, easy-to-feed formula.

Key Features and Benefits

• Formulated by avian veterinarians for complete nutrition.

• Supports healthy weight without excess fat.

• Promotes strong feathers, tissue repair, and brain function.

• Extrusion-cooked for improved digestibility, palatability, and food safety.

Feeding Directions

For best results, feed Maintenance Diet as your bird’s primary food source (80% of daily intake). The remaining 20% should consist of:

• 15% fresh fruits and vegetables for enrichment.

• 5% nuts and seeds as occasional treats.

Always ensure fresh, clean water is available.

Daily Pellet Recommendation

Parrots typically need 10% of their bodyweight in pellets per day:

• Cockatiel (90g) → 9g pellets daily

• Sun Conure (150g) → 15g pellets daily

• Galah (300g) → 30g pellets daily

Use these values as a guide. If your bird has special dietary needs, consult your veterinarian.

Storage

Keep pellets in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, and below 30°C. For maximum freshness, use within 30 days of opening.

Expiry

Best before 2 years from the date of manufacture.
