A parrot native to South America doesn't eat the same wild diet as an African or Australian species, which is the reasoning behind Vitakraft building separate regional blends rather than one generic parrot mix for every bird.

This blend includes cereals, seeds and fruits such as dried banana at 3.8%, dried physalis (cape gooseberry) at 1.5% and mango at 1%, alongside oyster grit at 3% and dried paprika at 1%. A full trace element and vitamin panel is added per kilogram, including vitamin A, D3, selenium, iodine, zinc, manganese and copper. Vitakraft's feeding guide is one to two tablespoons per bird per day, and it's formulated for South American parrots.

• Cereals, seeds and fruit including dried banana, cape gooseberry and mango
• Oyster grit included at 3%, plus dried paprika
• Full added vitamin and trace element panel per kg
• Feeding guide: 1-2 tablespoons per bird per day
• Formulated for South American parrots
• 750G pack

On the numbers. No protein, fat or fibre percentage is published for this feed, so it can't be measured against a pelleted diet's guaranteed analysis. The additive panel is exact; the base nutritional profile isn't, so this is an ingredient-led choice rather than a numbers-led one.

Who it's for: owners of South American parrot species who feed seed rather than pellets and want a regionally-formulated mix with grit already included.
