Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Egg-Cite! Cockatiel Food different?

Ans: This formula incorporates dried whole egg into the science-backed Nourish+Protect blend, boosting it with additional high-quality protein and essential amino acids. Paired with superfoods, prebiotics, probiotics, and omega-3s, it offers comprehensive nutrition tailored for breeding and molting cockatiels.

Q2: Why does this food contain dried whole egg?

Ans: Dried whole egg offers a rich source of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. This additional protein is particularly helpful during breeding and molting periods, when cockatiels require extra nutrition to maintain health and develop strong feathers.

Q3: Is the Egg-Cite! formula suitable for everyday feeding?

Ans: Yes, although the added egg protein is particularly beneficial during breeding and molting, this is a comprehensive daily diet. It includes prebiotics, probiotics, flaxseed, and omega-3s to promote digestive, brain, heart, and feather health throughout the year.

Q4: Do the prebiotics and probiotics really support digestion?

Ans: Yes. Prebiotics and probiotics collaborate to support beneficial gut bacteria and maintain a balanced, healthy gut microbiome. This combination encourages proper digestion, allowing your cockatiel to efficiently and comfortably absorb nutrients from each meal.

Q5: How much should I feed my cockatiel each day?

Ans: Kaytee suggests offering 2 to 4 tablespoons daily for each cockatiel. Modify the amount to maintain a healthy weight and when feeding multiple birds. Remove any leftover food before each new feeding to ensure a fresh diet.

Q6: How do I switch my bird to this food safely?

Ans: Start by mixing old and new food, slowly increasing the new food over 7 to 10 days. This gradual approach minimizes digestive issues and allows your cockatiel to adapt smoothly to the change.

Q7: Does this food support feathers and plumage?

Ans: Yes. The inclusion of egg protein and a mix of nutrients helps improve skin and feather health, leading to brighter plumage. This is particularly beneficial during molting, as birds regrow feathers and require additional protein and amino acids.

Q8: How should I store the food to keep it fresh?

Ans: After opening the bag, remove air and reseal tightly, then use the food within 30 to 45 days. Store in a cool, dry location, and refrigerate or freeze for extended storage to maintain maximum freshness.

Q9: Does this food contain any allergens?

Ans: This product is manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts, and it is not intended for human consumption. Washing hands with soap and water is recommended after handling pet bird food for good hygiene.
