A Pionus, Senegal parrot, or Jardine's parrot isn't a budgie... but a blend for a large parrot isn't automatically the right choice either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe developed Small Parrot Natural Balance specifically for this group. Complete daily nutrition with seeds, grains, walnut, pumpkin seeds, vegetables, fruit, and berries, formulated for smaller parrot species that deserve a nutritional profile of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA small change in color…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe small pellets in our blends now have a softer, less green hue. The recipe has been changed from a wheat base to a corn base. Natural ingredients can also vary slightly in color from one harvest to another. As a result, the food may look a little different from the product photo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmaller parrot... full-fledged parrot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bird's size says very little about what belongs in its food bowl. Smaller parrots also enjoy peeling, nibbling, choosing, and exploring different ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why this Natural Balance contains more than just smaller seeds. Buckwheat, hulled oats, hemp seeds, safflower seeds, and sunflower seeds are combined with ingredients including walnut, pumpkin seeds, and coconut. Apple, banana, papaya, pineapple, mango, bell pepper, carrot, broccoli, beetroot, and berries also provide very different flavors and textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne gets neatly gobbled up, the next gets turned over and inspected at length... and somewhere at the bottom of the food bowl, there's always exactly that one piece they were looking for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo compromise between two other blends\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Parrot Natural Balance wasn't created by simply combining a few ingredients from a budgie blend with a few ingredients from a large-parrot blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend was developed specifically for a group of smaller parrots such as Pionus, Senegal parrots, and Jardine's parrots. We consider the mix of seeds, grains, nuts, vegetables, fruit, and berries as a whole... so these ingredients combine to provide complete daily nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVariety you can see\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA walnut feels different in the beak from a seed. A piece of bell pepper calls for something different again from papaya or a pumpkin seed. That’s precisely what makes a food bowl interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, each of the different plant-based ingredients contributes its own nutrients. The complete mix naturally contains, among other things, protein, fiber, fats, vitamins, and minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther down, you’ll find the official average nutritional values per 100 grams. This lets you see not only what’s in the food... but also the average nutritional content of the finished mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMixed by hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery batch of Small Parrot Natural Balance is mixed by hand at Greenparrotshop. Each ingredient is carefully weighed according to the recipe, with a deviation of about 2 grams per 10 kilos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients are selected to consumer-grade quality standards. This applies to the larger ingredients that immediately catch the eye, but just as much to every tiny seed and every grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeeds without an oily shine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seeds aren’t oiled to make them shine or to even out their specific gravity. You simply see the seeds as they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe choose that deliberately. Dust sticks more easily to an oily coating, and a glossy exterior ultimately says little about the quality of the ingredients. We prefer carefully selected ingredients, proper storage, and as little unnecessary processing as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete daily food\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Parrot Natural Balance was developed as a complete daily food for species including Pionus parrots, Senegal parrots, and Jardine’s parrots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also recommend offering a small amount of conditioning food or egg food 1 to 2 times a week. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and other suitable natural ingredients can, of course, continue to provide extra variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat way, a smaller parrot doesn’t have to settle for a compromise... but gets food formulated for this group of birds from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHemp seed, hulled oats, wheat, buckwheat, katjang, dari, paddy, safflower, sunflower seeds, vetch, pumpkin seeds, walnut, bell pepper, coconut, carrot, apple, banana, puffed wheat, puffed corn, spinach-wheat balls, papaya, pineapple, mango, sultanas, juniper berries, rosehips, beetroot, broccoli, apricot, cranberry and pepita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAverage nutritional values per 100 g\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnergy 394 kcal | Carbohydrates 52 g | Of which sugars 6 g | Fiber 9.6 g | Fat 14 g | Of which o.v. 0.2 g | Of which m.o.v. 0.2 g | Protein 13 g | Vitamin A 1730 IU | Vitamin D 0.5 mg | Vitamin E 8.6 mg | Calcium 38 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding and nutrition advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable as a complete daily food for smaller parrot species such as Pionus, Senegal parrots and Jardine's parrots.

This provides extra protection against light and external influences and, when stored properly, has a shelf life of 24 months while maintaining consumer-grade quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2 kg and 5 kg sizes come in a transparent bag with a Greenparrotshop label. This food also retains its consumer-quality standard for at least 12 months if stored in a cool, dry place and kept tightly sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contents of Kleine papegaai Natural Balance are the same... the difference is in the packaging and the longer shelf life of the Freshpack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWould you also like to offer more natural variety?
