Papilla Mini Psittacus

It is a porridge designed to manually raise, from the week of age, small psittacine granivorous birds (nymphs, lovebirds, parakeets ...).

Contains dehydrated whole egg. It also contains papaya, which favors the digestive transit. Its use is recommended until the moment of emancipation.

These small psittacines have a capacity of crop and a very different food habits depending on the species and stage of development. For example, if on average parrots eat 7 to 10 ml of porridge per 100 g of weight, the nymphs ingest without problems up to 17 ml per 100 g of weight and take when they are being poured (especially in the first and the last take of the day). The main thing is to make sure that before each meal the baby's craw is completely empty and that we take into account the degree of satiety that the chick explicitly demands the food with more or less intensity. The number of feedings and the quantity of porridge to be supplied must always be based on the capacity and correct emptying of the crop, but also on the food requirements that the bird expresses.

We advise to supply the porridge with a syringe with a soft probe of virgin rubber or silicone. This is the method we use in our breeding center because it is the safest and cleanest. We recommend stimulating the animal by pressing the lateral commissures of the beak to provoke swallowing movements, before the introduction of the probe.

Prepare with an approximate concentration of 25% solids in warm water
