Parrot Food

Nutritious and varied diet

Parrots need a varied diet consisting of seeds, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables. Many types of parrot food combine these ingredients in one mix, ensuring your bird gets all the essential nutrients. Pay close attention to the composition: some parrots are sensitive to certain ingredients or require additional vitamins.

Specialised food for different species

Not every parrot has the same nutritional requirements. Larger species such as macaws or African grey parrots need different nutrients than smaller parrots. That’s why parrot food is available that is specifically tailored to the type of parrot. This helps you support your bird’s health in a customised way. Versele-Laga Prestige Loro Parque – African Parrot Mix is a good option for larger parrots, such as the African grey, while Versele-Laga Prestige Loro Parque – African Parakeet Mix is a complete food for smaller parrots.

Seed mix or pellets?

When it comes to parrot food, you can choose between traditional seed mixes and complete pellets. Seed mixes resemble the natural eating behaviour of parrots, but birds can eat selectively from them. Pellets are fully balanced: each piece contains the same nutrients. This way, you can be sure your parrot gets everything it needs, without deficiencies or excess. Versele-Laga Nutribird P15 Original is suitable as a complete daily maintenance food.

Extras and treats

In addition to daily parrot food, you can spoil your bird with healthy snacks such as dried fruit, like Versele-Laga Exotic Fruit mix, or nuts. Be mindful of the amount and make sure these snacks don’t contain too much sugar or fat. This way, your parrot stays fit and happy. Special treats like Back Zoo Nature Fruit Cups can also be a tasty addition.
