Which formula to choose

The standard formula is made for baby parrots, from budgies, lovebirds and cockatiels to conures and African greys, and for baby passerines. It comes in an 18 oz (510 g) pack or a 5 lb (2.26 kg) bag. The 5 lb Baby Macaws version is for chicks needing more energy, such as macaws, eclectus, caiques and chicks under two weeks old; Kaytee does not recommend it for cockatoos. Mix fresh formula for every feed and discard leftovers. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within 30 to 45 days.

Good to know

Mix and feed exactly as the pack directs, at the correct temperature and consistency for the chick’s age. Hand-rearing needs experience, so ask an avian vet or breeder for guidance if you are new to it.
