Troubleshooting
Parrot not eating the new food
Gradually introduce the new food by mixing it with their current food, slowly increasing the proportion of Willsbridge Parrot Food Mix over several days. Ensure no other food sources are readily available during this transition.
Food appears dusty
While formulated to be dust-free, minor settling can occur. You can gently sift the food or lightly mist with water if dust is a significant concern for your bird or environment. Ensure the bag is properly sealed to prevent dust from entering.
