Vetafarm's Nutriblend Mini Pellets provide a completely balanced, diet designed to meet the particular dietary needs of most parrots.
The fruit flavoured, multi-coloured pellets promote better acceptance by seed eating birds and include balanced vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids essential for a stable maintenance diet during the regular season. The extrusion cooked pellets offer a palatable, balanced diet that maintains birds at a healthy weight. The feeding of Nutriblend Mini Pellets eliminates waste associated with seed and ensures a longer healthier life by providing scientifically formulated nutrition.
Vetafarm's Nutriblend Mini Pellets are recommended for Australian and Asiatic Parrots and are also suitable for exotic parrots (e.g. South American Parrots).
Nutriblend Mini Pellets are a complete diet, however the higher demands of the breeding season may require some additional nutrition be added to the birds diet.
Nutriblend Mini Pellets are an ideal foraging treat.

Vetafarm Insecta Pro takes the mess and guesswork out of feeding insect eating birds. Insecta Pro supplies crucial proteins found in insects, that grains and vegetables lack.
Recommended for: Insectivorous and Omnivorous Birds.
Insectivorous birds require a diet high in protein and fat. Insecta-Pro provides a convenient, balanced diet for all species (except Mynas and Toucans).
Omnivorous birds (Blackbirds, Thrush, Magpies etc.) benefit from Insecta-Pro and mixed 50:50 and fed as a moist blend.
Features:
Stimulates breeding pairs of Insectivores/Omnivorous and balances the diet of young.
Extrusion cooked for safety and digestibility.
Used and recommended by Taronga Zoo.
Designed to provide a supplemental feed for all insectivorous birds, including those requiring "live food".
Complete live food replacement.
Can optionally be used with Finch Crumbles.
For Insectivorous birds, mix at a rate 75% Insecta-pro 25% of Finch Crumbles. For Omnivores mix at a rate of 25% Insecta-pro 75% of Finch Crumbles.
Directions for use:
Can be fed dry, mixed with water to create a crumble, mixed with other foods and fruits or dampened and rolled into balls.
Insecta-Pro can be mixed with other "soft feedstuffs" such as fruits, pupae, eggs etc.
This damp mix is supplied to the birds to provide a wide based, nutritious feed that will stimulate breeding pairs and provide a fully balanced diet for the young.
Formulated by veterinarians and made with fresh Australian ingredients, Vetafarm’s Forest Fusion Lorikeet diet has been developed with NO artificial colours, NO refined sugars and NO by-products. Instead our vets and nutritionists used wholesome foods that include naturally low GI carbohydrates along with real, delicious dates, bee pollen and blueberry extract, achieving a natural sweetness and amazing taste for lorikeets.
Recommended for: Australian and exotic Loris/Lorikeets
Key features: NO artificial colours, NO refined sugars and NO by-products. Made with real, delicious dates, bee pollen and blueberry extract, achieving a natural sweetness and amazing taste for lorikeets.
Directions:
Make freely available as your birds primary diet. Forest Fusion Lorikeet may be fed dry, direct out of the packet or as a wet mix by adding a small amount of water.
Wet Mix: A wet mix can be achieved by adding warm water to the powder and mixing thoroughly with a fork. You can mix to any consistency you desire but Vetafarm recommends a mix of 1 heaped teaspoon of Forest Fusion Lorikeet with 10 teaspoons of hot water. Mix well with a fork and change every 24hrs.
Forest Fusion Lorikeet is designed as a complete diet when fed at 80% of the total diet.
Converting Lorikeets: We use the natural deliciousness of dates, bee pollen and blueberry to achieve an outstanding taste! However, as most commercial lorikeet diets contain large quantities of refined sugar, changing some birds from one of these diets may take a number of days.

Directions: For conversion from seed if gradual, mix 50:50 seed to crumbles. Allow all seed to be eaten before adding more mix. Birds should be consuming the crumbles within 3-4 days. Once crumbles are being eaten, eliminate seed.
Conversion may be sudden, simply remove all seed and replace with crumbles. Ensure familiar feed dishes and feeding locations are retained. Birds may appear fluffed for 2-3 days while their systems adjust but should return to normal within a week.
For soft feeding add hot water to a small amount of crumbles, stir and supply in place of normal soft foods. As birds take to this food, decrease the water added and begin reducing the amount of seed supplied. Birds will convert shortly.
Water must be available at all times as birds on Finch Crumbles consume more water than seed eating birds. (Allow for extra water consumption when using in-water medications).

South American Mix is designed to meet the specific dietary requirements of South American Parrots such as Macaws, Conures and Amazons. The formula's high nut content is fully balanced with good fat levels and suitable antioxidants to meet the nutritional requirements of your valuable birds.
Directions: South American Mix should be used as a total diet but may also be used as a balanced addition to seed and fruit diets.
To convert birds to South American Mix, take 50:50 blend of normal seed and pellet - add a small amount of hot water (just enough to make the pellets sticky), form the seed/pellet mix into a "rissole" and place in the bird's food bowl. Allow the bird to pick through the rissole until it gets a taste for the pellet. After several days
Entirely edible pellets mean elimination of waste, keeping aviaries and cages clean and hygienic while providing parrots with a fully balanced diet. Includes vitamns, chelated minerals, protein and energy. Active ingredients: Crude protein min 17%, crude fat min 5%, crude fibre min 3.5%, salt 0.5%.
Directions: Parrots larger than a Quarrion – initially offer Vetafarm Parrot Pellets as a sole diet. Remove all remaining seed from the cage or aviary. Remove seed hulls or other vegetable matter from the cage. Also remove any seed bells or other treats from the cage. Offer Parrot Pellets as a sole diet for two days. If the birds are not eating after two days, mix seeds and pellets 50:50 for a further two days then return to pellets only. Repeat this process until the bids begin to eat pellets then remove seed completely.
Parrots smaller then a Quarrion – Especially Neophemas (Bourke’s, Elegants, Scarlets) mix 50:50 seed/pellet for seven days, then 75:25 pellets to seed until pellets are being consumed. Switch to total pellets as soon as pellets are being eaten. When converting to pellets, continue to use the same feed dishes and locations as when seed was offered. Birds in a colony situation and birds feeding young will convert to pellets more readily than the single bird. Ensure adequate clean water supply during the conversion process. Birds will increase their water consumption when eating pellets. Droppings from pellet eating birds will change colour from black to brown/tan. Droppings may also increase in size.

DIRECTIONS:
Please note: The below directions are a guide only. If babies' crops are emptying faster than normal, add slightly more Nutricore formula to your mix. If babies' crops are emptying slowly, slightly more water can be added for a thinner consistency.
IMPORTANT NOTES Always ensure food is fed to babies at a temperature of between 38-41°C. Never reuse a premixed batch of formula from a previous feed. Mix Nutricore fresh every feed. Always ensure feeding utensils are thoroughly cleaned and sterilised between feeds. Always weigh your babies at the beginning of each day before their first feed to ensure they are gaining weight. Always mix well to achieve a uniform consistency, cool to feeding temperature (38-41°C) and feed fresh to babies.
NEONATE FEEDING RECOMMENDATION (HATCHING TO DAY 5) Feed a combination of Spark Liquid and Synbiotic solution only, for the first 24 hours or until your baby passes the meconium (first dropping). After the first dropping, mix 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore with 5 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water to make a very thin solution, then feed this solution for the next 24 hours. This solution can be gradually thickened over the following 3 days until the Standard feeding dilution is achieved as outlined below.
STANDARD FEEDING RECOMMENDATION (BABIES OVER 5 DAYS) Mix 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore Hand Rearing Formula with 3 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water. This consistency will be used from day 5 through to when the bird weans onto an adult diet.
TRANSITION FEEDING A Nutricore mix of very thin consistency should be fed to babies for at least the first 24 hours when transitioning from another brand of formula or when pulling babies older than 5 days from the nest for hand raising. This is to ensure babies remain hydrated and allows a period for adjustment to the new diet. The recommendation for this transition period is 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore with 5 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water.

A healthy and balanced diet is key to a successful breeding season. Breeding is a very nutrionally demanding time for birds, their bodies require increased nutrition to help stimulate breeding, lay fertile eggs and rear healthy chicks.
Some examples of key nutrients for breeding birds and their young are increased protein to stimulate breeding activity, calcium and Vitamin D3 for egg formation, egg laying and prevention of egg binding.
