Q3: Can larger birds eat the mash?

Ans: Yes, High Potency Mash can be a good choice for larger birds that struggle to eat pellets because of age, illness, injuries, or beak problems. You can mix it with water, organic fruit juice, or chopped vegetables to make a soft, dough-like texture that’s easier for them to eat.

Q4: How do I feed the mash?

Ans: Small birds, such as finches and canaries, can be fed the mash as is. It can also be mixed with other foods to encourage acceptance, or used in recipes such as Bird Bread and other veterinarian-approved formulations.

Q5: When should I use High Potency Mash?

Ans: High Potency Mash is ideal for conversion, breeding, weaning, molting, growth, and recovery. Birds that are molting, overweight, underweight, very active, housed in cold climates, recovering from illness, or affected by liver or kidney disease can all be fed this formula.

Q6: How long should my bird stay on this formula?

Ans: All birds should start and remain on this formula for at least six months. For weaning birds, feed it for at least six to nine months after weaning, and all breeding birds should be fed this formula.

Q7: How do I convert my bird to this food?

Ans: Consult an avian veterinarian before any diet change, then mix the mash with your bird’s current diet and note acceptance. If your bird needs more time, increase the mash by 25 percent each week over four weeks while reducing other food by 25 percent.

Q8: What else should my bird eat each day?

Ans: A bird’s daily diet should be 75 to 80 percent mash and 15 to 20 percent organic dark green leafy or dark yellow meaty vegetables and fruits, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, or papaya. Do not offer vitamins or use other formulated diets alongside it unless your avian veterinarian directs it, since this could reduce its benefits.
