FEEDING DIRECTIONS: Parrots and Conures require a high quality diet composed of superior ingredients. A parrot cannot survive a period of 24 hours without food and should not be without food for periods of more than 3 hours. Offer only as much Buckeye Parrot Food as the bird will consume during a normal feeding period. Seeds should be changed daily to remove seed hulls and rejected seeds. Hulls and rejected seeds will account for approximately 30 to 40% of the mix. The feeder should be of a shape and in a location so as not to be contaminated by bird droppings and become a source of disease to the birds. A minimum of 50% of the pellets in the mix should be consumed because most of the supplemental vitamins and minerals are contained in the pellets. The colored seeds are also coated with additional vitamins, and sunflower hearts are an excellent an source of vitamin E. Supplementation of additional vitamins and minerals may be harmful, and is not recommended. Always maintain a source of clean, fresh water. A drip type waterer is preferred so as not to spread bacteria through the watering system. This is particularly true where a number of birds drink from the same waterer. Grit may be made available to the bird although this is not a requirement for birds which hull their seeds. Store the unused portion of Buckeye Parrot Food in a clean, well ventilated area where it cannot be contaminated by rodents, insects, or possibly disease carrying birds. When changing to Buckeye Parrot Food from another food, mix the new mix with the previous diet until the birds have become totally accustomed to the new diet.

To maintain freshness store in a cool dry environment. For extended storage keep refrigerated.
