Complete, or formulated diets are “balanced” as the bird must eat the nutrients in the ratio intended. MIXED diets (seeds, fruits, and table foods) are much harder to balance and require the time-consuming use of a supplement.

Tropican is the only formulated food line that most birds will need in their lifetime, from a newly hatched baby chick to a mature, breeding adult.

For baby chicks, Tropican Breeding Diet is a formula product with no guesswork, recipes or cooking required. Tropican High-Performance Granules provide stressed or breeding birds with extra protein and minerals.
