A balanced diet is essential to keep your bird healthy and prevent nutritional deficiencies that can lead to serious health problems such as musculoskeletal disorders, cardiac issues, reproductive complications, iron storage disease, and hepatic lipidosis. Feeding your bird a well-formulated maintenance diet ensures they receive all the core nutrients necessary for optimal health and longevity.
Vetafarm Maintenance Diet is expertly developed by avian veterinarians to provide complete, balanced nutrition tailored to meet your bird’s daily needs. This easy-to-feed pellet formula is extrusion cooked to enhance digestibility, palatability, and food safety, making it an ideal primary diet for a wide range of parrot species.
Key Benefits:
- Complete Nutrition: Supplies all essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and balanced macronutrients to support your bird’s overall health and maintain a healthy weight.
- Weight Management: Designed to help prevent excess fat accumulation while maintaining optimal body condition.
- Convenience: Easy-to-feed pellets that encourage consistent eating habits.
- Safety: Extrusion cooking process ensures maximum food safety and nutrient availability.
Feeding Recommendations:
Maintenance Diet should make up approximately 80% of your bird’s daily intake. To provide a well-rounded diet, the remaining 20% should be composed of fresh fruits and vegetables (about 15%) and a small portion of treats like nuts and seeds (about 5%) for enrichment and variety. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.

- Cockatiel (90g): Minimum 9g pellets per day
- Sun Conure (150g): Minimum 15g pellets per day

These are general guidelines. For birds with special dietary needs or health conditions, always consult your avian veterinarian for tailored advice.

Great value & great product!
By: Jane on 8 October 2013The 2kg bag of maintenance pellets is exceptional value. Price + post is cheaper than any of my local stores. My cockatiel who is an extremely fussy eater outside of being a pig on seeds loves these. Her love of seeds has made her overweight as well as being poor in effective nutrition. Having tried a variety of other branded pellets to no avail, I was surprised how quickly she took to them. I can now leave pellets as her all day feed and only give seed for a period in the evening to help reduce her weight whilst giving her the nutritional elements that she needs. She's even started eating greens since she's been introduced to the pellets. Definitely recommend this product!
