Weaning Young Parrots
Passwell Parrot Soft Food is ideal for helping hand-reared parrots transition from Passwell Hand Rearing Food to a solid diet.
Its moist texture makes it a practical intermediate food while young birds develop their independent feeding skills.
Transitioning to Pellets
Parrot Soft Food can also help introduce parrots to a formulated diet such as Passwell Parrot Pellets or Passwell Crumbles.
Begin by mixing the products together, gradually increasing the proportion of pellets or crumbles as your bird becomes comfortable eating them.
Monitor food intake and body weight throughout the transition to ensure your bird is eating enough.

Wonderworld Tip
Parrots can be particular about changes to their food, especially when they're used to a seed-based diet.
Mixing Parrot Soft Food with familiar favourites, such as thawed peas and corn, can help encourage them to try something new. It's also a useful stepping stone when introducing pellets.
Prepare fresh portions daily, remove uneaten moist food promptly and keep an eye on your bird's food intake during any diet change.
