This guide is for owners of medium to large parrots, including Conures, Caiques, Quakers, Pionus, Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos, and African Greys. Its key benefit is providing a scientifically formulated, highly palatable, and nutritionally complete diet that supports breeding and growing birds with higher energy needs. A potential caveat is its larger granule size, which may require an adjustment period for some birds accustomed to smaller foods. Tropican High Performance Granules offer a balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, grains, nuts, and essential fatty acids, promoting optimal health, feather condition, and beak health, while minimizing waste due to their clean-breaking extruded form.

The 4mm granules are recommended for medium to large parrots including Conures, Caiques, Quakers, Pionus, Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos, and African Greys.
Yes, Tropican High Performance Granules are scientifically formulated to be a complete and balanced diet, incorporating all necessary vitamins and minerals. No additional supplements are typically needed when fed as the primary diet.
Gradually mix Tropican with your bird's current food over 7-10 days, increasing the proportion of Tropican daily. Ensure fresh water is always available during the transition.
No, Tropican Formulas are made without any artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.
The extruded granules break cleanly, resulting in significantly less dust and waste compared to traditional pellets. They are also hard and dense, contributing to healthier beak maintenance.
This 'High Performance' formula is ideal for parrots with higher nutritional needs, such as breeding or growing birds. For parrots with lower energy requirements or smaller species, other Tropican formulas may be more appropriate. The 4mm size is specifically for medium to large parrots.
Store unused granules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Avoid airtight containers that can trap moisture.
Gradually introduce Tropican by mixing it with the current food, slowly increasing the ratio over 7-10 days. Try offering it alongside familiar treats or fruits to encourage acceptance. Ensure the bird has access to water.
While designed to minimize waste, ensure the food dish size is appropriate. Check if the bird is selectively eating or playing with the food. Ensure the granules are not getting wet, which can cause them to break down.
This formula is high in calories and protein. Monitor your bird's weight and activity levels. If weight gain is a concern, consider rotating with a maintenance formula or reducing the portion size slightly, ensuring they still receive adequate nutrition.
Ensure the diet is the primary food source and that no significant dietary changes have occurred. While Tropican contains Omega fatty acids, a sudden change in feather quality could indicate other factors like stress, environmental changes, or underlying health issues. Consult an avian veterinarian if concerns persist.
Setup: Tropican High Performance Granules are ready to serve directly from the bag. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available. When transitioning your bird to Tropican, gradually mix it with their current food over a period of 7-10 days, increasing the proportion of Tropican daily.
Compatibility: This 4mm granule size is recommended for medium to large parrots such as Conures, Caiques, Quakers, Pionus, Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos, and African Greys. It is a natural transition food from the Tropican Hand-Feeding formula.
Care: Store unused granules in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Do not store in airtight containers that can trap moisture. Discard any food that has been left in the cage for more than 24 hours to prevent spoilage and contamination. Clean feeding bowls daily.
