Choosing the right formula
Nutricore is recommended for most parrot species from hatching to weaning, but Vetafarm advises raising sensitive species such as African Grey Parrots, Black Cockatoos and Hyacinth Macaws on its Neocare formula instead. The 450g pack suits a single clutch, while the 2kg pack is the practical size for breeders hand-rearing several chicks. Follow the pack directions or your vet’s advice.
Good to know
Mix each feed fresh at the temperature and consistency given on the pack, and throw away any leftover formula rather than reheating it.
