Passwell Crumbles | 330g & 1kg
Passwell Crumbles provide a nutritionally balanced alternative to traditional seed mixes for small parrots, budgies, lovebirds, canaries, finches, quail and doves.
Unlike seed mixes, where birds can pick out their favourites, Crumbles are completely edible, helping reduce waste and mess while providing more consistent nutrition.
Enriched with essential amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, this low-fat formula supports healthy feather condition, weight management and everyday bird health.

Feeding Directions
Birds may need time to adjust their feeding technique. Initially, they may break the crumbles apart, but they generally learn to eat the smaller pieces and fine powder.
Direct Change to Crumbles
Suitable for cockatiels, companion parrots, quail and pigeons.
Initially remove seed and treats, offering only Crumbles. If your bird hasn't eaten during the day, provide some seed before nightfall and try again the following day. If unsuccessful, introduce Crumbles gradually instead.
Gradual Introduction
Recommended for budgies, smaller birds and reluctant eaters.
Begin with a 50:50 mix of Crumbles and seed, gradually reducing the seed over several days as your bird adjusts.
Important: Monitor your bird's body weight, health and food intake throughout the transition to ensure it is eating enough.
Feeding Guide
Refer to the Passwell Crumbles Feeding Guide for recommended daily feeding quantities.

Wonderworld Tip
Changing a bird from seed to a formulated diet can take patience. Some birds take to Crumbles quickly, while others need a slower introduction.
Keep an eye on their weight and droppings, and make sure they're actually eating the new food rather than just playing with it. Never allow a bird to go without food while trying to change its diet.
