    Parrot Breeder Pellets should be fed as your bird’s primary diet (80% of daily feed consumed).
    The remaining 20% of the diet should be made up of healthy fruit and vegetables (15%) and a small amount of treat foods such as nuts and seeds (5%) to provide variety and enrichment.
    Feeding should begin approximately 6 weeks before breeding season and continued until chicks fledge.
    Chicks raised by parents being fed Parrot Breeder Pellets can be weaned directly onto Maintenance Pellets.
