• Mazuri® Softbill Gel Diet is designed for iron sensitive avian species.
  • Provide gel product as at least 75% of the bird's dry matter intake. If desired, it may be fed in conjunction with the dry, extruded Mazuri® Softbill Diet.
  • Other food items offered may include fruit (e.g. papaya, apples, pears, grapes, etc.), vegetables and greens. Avoid feeding bananas because they are high in calories and dry matter content. Avoid food items which may contain high levels of iron (e.g. meat, dog food), and limit citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruit) because they may enhance the uptake of iron.
  • Provide fresh food items and a clean source of water daily.
• Feed intake will vary based on age, body size and reproductive status. 
• Never feed dry powder without first combining with water.
