Feeding Guidelines:
Feed as a moist crumble, or mixed with diced veg, soaked seed or other moist foods. Prepare food fresh each day to avoid microbial contamination.
Moist Crumble:
Mix 10g (1 scoop) of powder with approx. 3mL (½ tsp) of water
Slowly add water to the powder while mixing with a fork to form a moist, crumbly mix.
To feed with soaked seed or vegetables:
Mix 10g (1 scoop) of powder with 20g (2 scoops) diced veg or soaked seed
For convenience, use frozen peas & corn which have been thawed before mixing. Other foods such as chopped greens, fruit or soaked seed can be used, depending on bird preference. Add a little extra water to moisten the mix if necessary.

Weaning:
Parrot Soft Food is ideal to be used as a weaning food for hand-reared parrots when transitioning from Hand Rearing Food to a solid diet.
Pellet Conversion:
Birds will readily transition from Parrot Soft Food to Crumbles or Parrot Pellets by mixing the two products together, and then gradually increasing the proportion of Crumbles or Pellets.
