Mazuri, Large Bird Diet - 3 lb
Mazuri® Large Bird Diet is a complete bird food designed for large parrots, like macaws, African grays, cockatoos, and other large birds. It is nutritionally complete and can be the primary diet for adult non-breeding birds. This parrot food comes in multi-sized particles for enrichment. The extruded form helps prevent the sorting of ingredients and reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies. This balanced food meets your bird's nutritional needs without the need for supplementation. You may provide additional species-appropriate food items, such as produce, seeds, etc. and can include up to 20% (by weight) of the diet.
Nutritionally complete - Requires no mixing or supplementation.
Extruded particle means fewer fines and increased digestibility.
Better than seeds - Less waste (20 to 50% of seed weight is hulls).
Reduced diet preparation - Less time chopping fruits and veggies.
Formulation allows for supplementation with species-appropriate food items - Can include up to 20% (by weight) of diet as produce, seeds, and other food items to encourage natural feeding behaviors and for training and enrichment.
Natural sources of pigments, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
No artificial colors or flavours

Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily. A 1 lb. (450 g) bird will typically eat between 1/3 to 1/2 cup (33 â 40 g) per day, while a 2 lb. (900 g) bird may consume between 2/3 to 1 cup (66 â 80 g) per day.Fresh fruits, vegetables, and seeds may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.To switch birds from seeds (or their current diet) to this diet, changeover gradually. Start with 90% seed (or current diet) and 10% Mazuri® bird diet. On each succeeding day, reduce the amount of seeds by 10% while increasing the amount of the Mazuri® bird diet by 10%. On the 10th day, the diet should consist only of Mazuri® bird diet. Do not overfeed during this transition time.Monitor the birdâs weight and behavior carefully during the conversion period and make sure it is eating the new diet. Be especially attentive during the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% seed and 50% Mazuri® bird diet and restart the conversion process from this point.If the bird is not eating, the excreta color will become dark green, and the volume will decrease. If the bird is consuming the bird diet, the excreta will be a brownish-green color.Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals. This diet is not for human consumption.
When introducing a new food or treat, it's best to allow your pet to adjust gradually. For new food, we recommend a 7-day transition. Begin with a 75:25 ratio of old to new food on Day 1 and Day 2, shifting to a 50:50 mix on Day 3 and Day 4, and a 25:75 balance on Day 5 and Day 6. By Day 7, your pet can fully enjoy their new food. For treats, remember to feed them sparingly — they should constitute no more than 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake. Monitor your pet for any unusual reactions when introducing a new treat. Treats are not a substitute for balanced, complete meals.
For best results
reseal the bag between uses or store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75â°F/24â°C or colder)
dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and insects. Do not offer moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may result in illness
performance loss or death. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Use within 1 year of bag manufacturing or "Best if Used By" date.
