Description

Mazuri® Small Bird Diet is a complete bird food that is designed for cockatiels, conures, lovebirds, Quaker parrots, and other small birds. This bird food is nutritionally complete and comes in multi-sized particles. It can be the primary diet for non-breeding birds. The mixed particle sizes and shapes provides enrichment. Also, the extruded form prevents the sorting of ingredients and helps support optimal nutrient uptake. You may provide additional species-appropriate food items, such as produce, seeds, etc., and can include up to 20% (by weight) of the diet. This bird food contains no added colors or artificial flavors.

Mixed particle size - Supports natural foraging behavior.
Extruded particle means fewer fines and increased digestibility.
Better than seeds - Consistent nutrition and less waste (20 to 50% of seed weight is hulls).
Reduced diet preparation - Less time chopping fruits and veggies.
Formulation allows for supplementation with species-appropriate food items - Can include up to 20% (by weight) of diet as produce, seeds, and other food items to encourage natural feeding behaviors and for training and enrichment.
Natural sources of pigments and antioxidants.
No artificial colors or flavors.

Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily.
A 3 ½ oz (100 g) bird will typically eat between 2 to 3 tbsp (10 – 15 g) per day, while a 1 lb. (450 g) bird may consume between 1/3 to 1/2 cup (33 – 40 g) per day.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, and seeds may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
To switch birds from seeds (or their current diet) to this diet, changeover gradually. Start with 90% seed (or current diet) and 10% Mazuri® bird diet. On each succeeding day, reduce the amount of seeds by 10% while increasing the amount of the Mazuri® bird diet by 10%. On the 10th day, the diet should consist only of Mazuri® bird diet. Do not overfeed during this transition time.
- Monitor the bird’s weight and behavior carefully during the conversion period and make sure it is eating the new diet. Be especially attentive during the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% seed and 50% Mazuri® bird diet and restart the conversion process from this point.
- If the bird is not eating, the excreta color will become dark green, and the volume will decrease. If the bird is consuming the bird diet, the excreta will be a brownish-green color.
Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals. This diet is not for human consumption.

Storage Conditions
For best results, reseal the bag between uses or store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75⁰F/24⁰C or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and insects. Do not offer moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may result in illness, performance loss or death. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Use within 1 year of bag manufacturing or "Best if Used By" date
