Vetafarm Parrot Essentials 2kg

Product Description

Give your companion parrot balanced everyday nutrition with Vetafarm Parrot Essentials 2kg. This complete pellet diet is formulated by avian veterinarians to provide essential nutrients while adding natural variety to your bird’s daily meals.

Parrot Essentials combines nutritionally balanced, blueberry-flavoured pellets with real dehydrated fruit and selected nuts. The formula includes approximately 5% fruit and 5% nuts, providing different flavours and textures to make mealtimes more interesting.

The added fruit and nuts also provide enrichment and variety compared with plain pellet diets. They encourage natural food exploration while helping reduce the selective feeding often associated with traditional seed mixes.

The balanced formula contains essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to support normal feather development, tissue health and brain function. It is also made without added artificial colours.

Vetafarm Parrot Essentials is designed to form approximately 80% of your parrot’s daily diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables can be offered alongside the pellets, with suitable treats included as part of a varied feeding routine.

The convenient 2kg pack is ideal for regular feeding and provides a generous supply for households with companion parrots.
