Passwell Budgie Starter 1kg

Give your budgies the nutritional foundation they need with Passwell Budgie Starter — a nutritionally balanced, high protein soft food specifically formulated for breeding budgies, weaning chicks, and birds on seed-based diets. Prepared from ingredients high in essential amino acids and enriched with vitamins, minerals, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, Budgie Starter provides complete nutrition for budgie chicks and breeding adults at their most demanding times.

Budgie Starter is also an excellent soft food for other small parrots including Neophemas, Bourkes, Red-rumps, Hooded and Mulga Parrots. For larger parrots, Passwell Parrot Soft Food is recommended instead.

Ideal as a weaning food for hand-reared budgies transitioning from Passwell Hand Rearing Food to a solid diet. Older birds will readily transition from Budgie Starter to Passwell Crumbles by mixing the two products together and gradually increasing the proportion of Crumbles.
