Vetafarm South American Mix

Vetafarm South American Mix is a premium, vet-formulated diet tailored specifically to meet the unique nutritional requirements of South American parrots, including conures, amazons, and macaws. Designed for both breeding and companion birds, this complete daily diet provides optimal levels of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals to support:

• Healthy growth and development
• Reproductive health during breeding
• Cognitive and brain function
• Strong immune system and vibrant feather condition

Made in Australia from human-grade ingredients, this mix includes a blend of whole grains and fresh nuts—such as almonds and peanuts—to enhance taste and ensure high palatability.

Complete Nutrition for South American Parrots

To ensure a balanced diet, Vetafarm recommends feeding:

• 80% South American Mix pellets
• 15% fresh fruits and vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, berries, papaya, mango)
• 5% raw, unsalted nuts (e.g., macadamias, almonds, walnuts)

Vetafarm Deli Stix can be used within the 5% treat portion for added variety and behavioural enrichment.

The pellets are extruded, meaning they’re cooked at high temperatures for better digestibility, improved safety (pathogen reduction), and increased nutrient uptake.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed approximately 8g of pellets per 100g of body weight per day, making up 80% of the parrot’s total daily diet.

Average daily pellet requirements:

• Small Conure (~100g): 8g pellets
• Medium Amazon (~400g): 30g pellets
• Large Macaw (~800g): 60g pellets

Fresh water should always be available.

Note: These feeding amounts are a general guide. Individual bird needs may vary based on age, activity level, breeding status, and health. Consult with an avian veterinarian for tailored advice.
