Mazuri® Large Bird Diet

Mazuri® Large Bird Diet is a complete bird food designed for large parrots, like macaws, African grays, cockatoos, and other large birds. It is nutritionally complete and can be the primary diet for adult non-breeding birds. This parrot food comes in multi-sized particles for enrichment. The extruded form helps prevent the sorting of ingredients and reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies. This balanced food meets your bird's nutritional needs without the need for supplementation.

  • Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily. A 1 lb. (450 g) bird will typically eat between 1/3 to 1/2 cup (33 – 40 g) per day, while a 2 lb. (900 g) bird may consume between 2/3 to 1 cup (66 – 80 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%. Onthe 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 of50% 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 washhands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals. This diet is not for human consumption.
