The eggs have hatched and the parent birds are busy feeding the young ones. This is of course the ideal picture that every breeder of parrots has in mind. Unfortunately, it does not always go so smoothly. The parent bird dies or does not feed the young. It can also be the case that there are several youngsters in one brood and the youngest one is not fed enough by the parents. In such cases, there is a need to intervene and hand feed the young. Of course, you want to give such a small bird the best possible food, to give it a good start. So what do you give a young parrot to eat?
Do you have a young parrot that needs a diet with a higher fat content? Then Wisbroek Parrot High Fat Handfeeding is the product you need. This diet contains a fat content of 16.4%. Egg powder, lecithin and probiotic, among other ingredients, make it a complete food. It is suitable for birds such as Psittacus, Macaw, Poicephalus and Pionites melanocephalus.
For young parrots that need a diet with extra protein, Wisbroek Parrot High Protein Handfeeding has been developed. This food contains 23% crude protein and 9% crude fat. A recipe with ingredients such as egg powder, digestive enzymes and probiotics makes it a complete food that is easily digestible. For birds such as Amazons, Pionus, Psittacula, Pyrrhura and Pionites leucogaster this is the right recipe.
The special building blocks in these two types of handfeeding support the growth and development of the musculature and bone system. It is a natural and energy-rich food that contains everything a young parrot needs to grow up without the help of the parent bird. Its consistency is ideal for feeding it to your bird with a crop nipple or spoon.
