{"title":"ProBird","description":"\u003cp\u003eProBird is the aviary basics range — the things a breeder restocks rather than shops for. Egg and biscuit soft food for birds in breeding condition, in moult, or feeding chicks. Hand rearing mix for chicks off the nest. A nectar-style lorikeet mix in 1kg and 5kg. Fine shell grit for calcium and digestion, and pre-cut liner sheets so cleaning a cage tray takes seconds instead of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo things worth getting right\u003c\/strong\u003e — first, made-up wet soft food is a bacterial culture medium, so mix small amounts and pull it out of the cage within a few hours, sooner in summer. Second, hand rearing is unforgiving of small mistakes: formula too cool causes crop stasis, too hot burns the crop, and too thin underfeeds a chick whose crop looks full. If you have not hand reared before, have a breeder or an avian vet walk you through the first few feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrit is offered free choice in a separate dish, not mixed into seed — birds regulate their own intake, and the fine grade matters because grit sized for poultry is wrong for a finch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-food\"\u003eBird food\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/harmony\"\u003eHarmony\u003c\/a\u003e — wild bird and companion bird seed mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vetafarm\"\u003eVetafarm\u003c\/a\u003e — for avian health products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/probird.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
