Vetafarm Nutriblend Large 1.6kg

Product Description

Give your large companion parrot balanced everyday nutrition with Vetafarm Nutriblend Large 1.6kg. This complete pellet diet is specially formulated by avian veterinarians to support your bird’s daily nutritional needs and help maintain a healthy body weight.

Nutriblend Large features colourful, fruit-flavoured pellets that encourage acceptance, particularly in birds accustomed to eating seeds. The tasty apple, blueberry and raspberry flavours make it an appealing option for many parrots.

Each pellet is extrusion cooked to improve palatability, digestibility and food safety. Unlike loose seed mixes, the uniform pellets help provide consistent nutrition in every serving. They also help reduce the mess and waste often associated with traditional seed-based diets.

The balanced formula contains essential vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids. These nutrients help support healthy feather development, tissue function and normal brain function.

Vetafarm Nutriblend Large is designed to form the main part of your bird’s daily diet. Combine it with fresh fruit and vegetables, plus a small amount of suitable treats, to provide variety.

The 1.6kg pack is a convenient choice for owners of larger parrots who want a balanced and easy-to-serve daily food.

Feeding Guidelines

Vetafarm recommends feeding Nutriblend as approximately 80% of your parrot’s daily diet.

The remaining 20% should include:

• 15% fresh fruit and vegetables
• 5% suitable treats, such as nuts and seeds

Parrots should receive a minimum of 10% of their bodyweight in pellets each day.

Daily feeding examples:

• 300g Galah: Minimum 30g of pellets per day
• 600g Cockatoo: Minimum 60g of pellets per day
• 1kg Macaw: Minimum 100g of pellets per day

These amounts are guides. Adjust feeding according to your bird’s individual needs and activity level. Always provide fresh, clean drinking water.

When changing from a seed-based diet, introduce pellets gradually and monitor your bird’s acceptance and food intake. Consult an avian veterinarian if your bird has special dietary requirements.
