Product Information
Full details
This RIO Daily Feed is designed for parakeets, lovebirds, and corellas, offering a balanced blend of seeds and grains for everyday nutrition. Its key benefit lies in its varied ingredients, including rowan berries and carrots for eye and skin health, plus added calcium and linseed for bone, beak, and feather strength. A potential caveat is that while comprehensive, it should be supplemented with fresh foods for optimal avian health.

FAQs
What types of birds is this feed suitable for?
This feed is specifically balanced for parakeets, lovebirds, and corellas.
How often should I feed this to my bird?
This is a daily feed and can be offered as the main component of your bird's diet once or twice a day, depending on your bird's needs and activity level.
Does this feed contain artificial preservatives or colors?
No, the feed is free from preservatives and artificial colorants.
What are the benefits of linseed in this feed?
Linseed provides essential fatty acids which are beneficial for maintaining healthy skin and vibrant plumage.
Can I feed this to other types of parrots?
While primarily formulated for parakeets, lovebirds, and corellas, it may form part of a varied diet for other small parrots, but it's best to consult with an avian veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations.
How should I store the feed?
Store the feed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after opening or use an airtight container.
Should I supplement this feed with anything else?
While this feed is balanced, it is recommended to supplement it with fresh fruits, vegetables, and other healthy treats to ensure a complete and varied diet for your bird.
Troubleshooting
Bird refuses to eat the new feed
Gradually introduce the new feed by mixing it with the old feed, slowly increasing the proportion of new feed over several days. Ensure fresh water is always available.
Feed appears dusty or contains excessive fine particles
This can happen during shipping. Gently sift the feed if necessary, or mix with slightly moistened pellets to reduce dust. Store in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
Bird is only eating certain seeds
This is common. While the feed is balanced, encourage consumption of all ingredients by offering it in a way that mixes them thoroughly or by providing a varied diet including fresh foods.
