FAQs – Illiger's Macaw Food
What's the best food for daily feeding?
Pellets like Harrison's or Askio Nature are excellent as a staple diet. They offer complete nutrition and help prevent selective feeding. Supplement with vegetables, sprouted seeds, and healthy treats.
Can I mix seed and pellet diets?
Yes, but it's important to monitor intake to avoid overconsumption of seeds. A balanced mix could be 70–80% pellets and 20–30% soaked pulses, vegetables, and treats.
Are these foods safe for other mini macaws, too?
Absolutely. These options are also ideal for Hahn's, Yellow-Collared Macaws, and other small macaws. Always adjust portion size based on species and activity level.
What's the benefit of soaked or sprouted food blends?
Soaking or sprouting enhances nutrient absorption and digestibility. It also adds hydration and variety, which supports gut and immune health.
Can I save by subscribing?
Yes. Many food items come with a Subscribe & Save discount, so you'll never run out while enjoying savings and hassle-free delivery.
