Ingredients to Look For (and Avoid)
When choosing pet food, it’s important to read the ingredients label carefully.
Many people assume “pellets are pellets,” which is an inaccurate statement.
For example, the larger the Hagen Tropican pellet, the higher the protein content given the assumption that bigger birds require more protein.
BTW, “assumption” is the wrong word.
Hagen operates a facility in Ontario named the Hagen Avicultural Research Institute where they house 250 pairs of wild caught and domestic parrots.
The birds are overseen by a team of avian veterinarians and fecal testing is done daily proving feedback on the efficacy of Hagen bird food.
All Higgins Versele Laga bird seed has appropriately sized InTune pellets blended in to ensure your FIDS are getting proper nutrition.
Choosing the Right Brand
Once you’ve narrowed down your choices based on your pet’s nutritional needs and the type of food you want to buy, it’s important to choose a brand that you trust.
Windy City Parrot sells bird food brands that have a good reputation, use high-quality ingredients (low levels of corn), and have undergone rigorous testing to ensure the safety and quality of their products like Hagen employs HARI.
