Feed free choice to non-breeding birds and provide fresh food daily.
A 1 lb (450 g) bird will typically eat between 1/3 to 1/2 cup (33 - 40 g) per day, while a 2 lb (900 g) bird may consume between 2/3 to 1 cup (66 - 80 g) per day.
Fresh fruits, vegetables and seeds may be provided, but no more than 20% of the total diet.
To switch birds to this diet, gradually replace your old diet with this diet at the rate of 10% per day. Do not overfeed during this transition time and monitor your bird to be sure it is eating the new diet.
Monitor the bird's weight and behavior carefully during the conversion period. Be especially attentive during the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% old diet and 50% Mazuri Large Bird Diet and restart the conversion process from this point. If the bird is not eating, the excreta color will become dark green and the volume will decrease. If the bird is consuming the Mazuri Large Bird Diet, the excreta will be a brownish-green color.
Storage Conditions: For best results, store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75F or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and insects. Do not offer moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may result in illness, performance loss or death. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Adhere to the "Best if used by" date or use within 1 year of bag manufacturing.
