Why choose RIO Daily Feed for Large Parakeets?

Large parakeets are active birds that not only eat but also enjoy interacting with their food. A seed mix with various shapes and textures suits this natural behavior well. They can hull, pick through, select small seeds, and calmly work on larger seeds or grains.

This RIO mix contains a broad base of seeds and grains, supplemented with dried rowan berries, dried carrots, algae, and calcium gluconate. As a result, it is a complete daily diet for large parakeets, with enough variety to keep feeding time interesting.

For picky eaters, it is important to keep a close eye on what is actually being eaten. Do not constantly refill the food bowl without restriction, but also check for any remaining hulls and scraps. This prevents your bird from choosing only its favorite seeds and leaving the rest.

For which birds is RIO Daily Feed for Large Parakeets suitable?

• Cockatiel: suitable as a daily staple food. The mix contains various seeds and grains that suit the eating habits of cockatiels.
• Agapornis / lovebird: suitable as a daily seed mix for lovebirds. Pay close attention to selective eating and consciously adhere to the daily portion.
• Other large parakeets: suitable for large parakeet species that require a varied seed and grain mix. Always consider species, activity level, condition, and other diet.

For budgies, canaries, finches, and parrots, it is preferable to choose a food specifically tailored to that group of birds. This way, the composition better matches the size, energy requirements, and eating habits of the bird.

Feeding & use

Give RIO Daily Feed for Large Parakeets as the daily staple food. The recommended amount is approximately 20–30 grams per bird per day. The correct amount depends on species, size, activity, season, condition, and other diet.

Offer the food in a clean food bowl and regularly remove empty hulls and old food remnants. Because seeds are often hulled, the bowl may appear full while it mainly contains empty hulls. Therefore, check daily to ensure that there is still truly edible food present.

In addition, always ensure clean drinking water is available. Large parakeets require appropriate minerals in addition to their basic food. Therefore, offer grit or a suitable mineral mix continuously. During molting, a special molting food or extra targeted support may be appropriate.

Foraging with large parakeets

Birds are naturally active in searching for and processing food. Therefore, you can offer part of the food not only in a food bowl, but also use it in a foraging toy, feeding platform, or small foraging spot. This way, your bird has to do more than just eat from a bowl.

Start simple: scatter a small portion of the daily serving on a clean feeding tray or hide some seeds among safe foraging materials. Build this up gradually so your bird understands where to find the food and doesn't miss out on unnecessary amounts.
