Answer by ChewyMay 31, 2021
This food is formulates specifically for Baby Parrots (including Parakeets, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Conures, Cockatoos, Macaws, Amazons, African Greys, and other Psittacines) & Baby Passerines.

Hi for how long I can feed my bird with this?

Answer by ChewyMay 20, 2021
Weaning age will vary depending on the individual bird species so it is best to research your species. To encourage the weaning process, exact Conversion diets should be offered when "exploration" begins. When the baby bird is fully feathered, offer exact Conversion diet, or an adult daily diet of exact Natural food or exact Rainbow food in a clean food cup, in addition to routine hand feeding. The baby bird will slowly begin to prefer these new forms of the food. Fresh water must be provided at all times. Prolonged use of hand feeding formula beyond the normal weaning age, or excessive feeding, may result in health concerns. A chick will lose up to 10% of its body weight during weaning as it begins to eat on its own. Birds wean easily onto exact Conversion diets or exact adult daily diets because of compatible taste and ingredients.

I bought a big pail like I always do and the one I got sent is about to expire, there’s no way I can finish 20lbs of baby. It’s formula in a month. I feel like I completely got ripped off and they gave me the oldest one on the shelve so they could get rid of it :( not happy at all. I’m a frequent buyer and always when I need it purchase it here but I feel like I’ve lost over $120 on a purchase that is about to expire. Not cool at all!!!
