Feeding Directions
- Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily. A ½ oz (15 g) bird will typically eat 2 tsp (3.5 g) per day, while a 2.0 oz (57 g) bird may consume approximately 5 tsp (8.4 g) per day. Fresh fruits, vegetables and seeds may be provided, but no more than 20% of the total diet. To switch birds to this diet, gradually replace your old diet with this diet at the rate of 10% per day. Do not overfeed during this transition time and monitor your bird to be sure it is eating the new diet.
- Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling pets. This diet is not for human consumption.
Storage Conditions
For best results store contents of open paper bag in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75°F or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Use within 1 year of manufacturing.
