Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk 500g Complete Hand-Rearing Formula for Baby Parrots and Neonatal Frugivorous Psittacines

Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk 500g – Complete Early-Life Hand-Rearing Formula for Frugivorous Baby Parrots

Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk is a specialized hand-rearing formula developed for the early nutritional needs of newly hatched and neonatal frugivorous psittacine birds. It is intended for use from hatching through approximately day 7–8 of life, providing a carefully formulated source of nutrition during one of the most delicate stages of a young bird’s development. The formula is designed to provide optimum nutrition while being highly digestible for young chicks.

Complete Hand-Rearing Nutrition for Neonatal Birds

This specialized bird food is formulated for hand-rearing frugivorous psittacines during their first days of life. It can be used as an early-stage feeding formula for young fruit-eating parrots when hand-feeding is required. The formula is designed to support the nutritional requirements of neonatal chicks during this early developmental period.

Designed for Frugivorous Psittacine Chicks

Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk is intended for frugivorous psittacine birds and their young chicks. Depending on the specific bird and breeding program, frugivorous psittacines may include species such as macaws, African grey parrots, Amazon parrots, cockatoos, conures, lovebirds, budgerigars and other psittacine species with comparable nutritional requirements. Always confirm that the formula is appropriate for the particular species and chick before feeding.

Highly Digestible Formula

The formula is designed with the delicate digestive systems of neonatal chicks in mind. Its smooth-blending formulation helps create a suitable hand-feeding mixture when prepared according to the recommended concentration and water temperature. Proper preparation and feeding technique are important for young birds.

Non-GMO Ingredients & No Artificial Colorants

The formulation uses non-GMO ingredients and is made without artificial colorants. It is designed to provide early-life nutrition while maintaining a carefully controlled ingredient profile suitable for hand-rearing applications.

Natural Antioxidant Protection & Modified Atmosphere Packaging

The product is packed using modified atmosphere packaging to help protect the contents and preserve product freshness. Natural antioxidants are used as part of the product's preservation system, helping maintain the quality of the formula during storage.

100% Recyclable Polypropylene Packaging

The packaging is made from 100% recyclable polypropylene (PP) mono-material. For recycling purposes, the multi-layer label should be removed where applicable according to local recycling requirements.

Recommended Life Stage

The formula is designed for use from hatching until approximately day 7–8 of life. After this early stage, chicks should be progressively transitioned to an appropriate subsequent hand-feeding formula, such as Psittacus Frugivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding, according to the manufacturer's feeding recommendations.

Day 1 Preparation

On day 1, prepare the formula at a low concentration of approximately 1% for the first feeding bout. The concentration is progressively increased during the subsequent feeding bouts, reaching approximately 20% for the final feeding bout of the day. Follow the manufacturer's preparation guidance carefully when preparing each feeding.

From Day 3 Onwards

From day 3 onwards, prepare the formula at approximately 25% concentration using warm water. The recommended mixing water temperature is approximately 37°C–39°C. Maintaining the recommended temperature is important when preparing the feeding mixture.

Feeding Frequency

The chick's required daily amount should be divided into approximately 8 individual feeding bouts throughout the day. The exact quantity required can vary according to the chick's species, age, size, development and individual needs. Feeding amounts should therefore be determined using appropriate professional breeding or avian-care guidance.

Important Preparation & Feeding Instructions

Always prepare the formula according to the manufacturer's recommended concentration and temperature. Use clean feeding equipment and prepare each feeding carefully. Any leftover prepared formula must be discarded after each feeding session and should not be stored or reused for a later feeding. Fresh preparation should be used for subsequent feeding sessions.

Suitable for Early Hand-Rearing Applications

Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk is a specialized early-stage formula for breeders, aviculturists and experienced bird keepers involved in the hand-rearing of neonatal frugivorous psittacine chicks. Its early-life formulation, digestibility, non-GMO ingredients, natural antioxidant protection and modified atmosphere packaging make it a purpose-designed option for the first days of hand-rearing.
