Paradise Pellets were formulated by avian veterinarians as a species specific formula to suit the low iron dietary requirements of Eclectus Parrots and other frugivorous birds. The basis of any diet for birds should come from the most reliable source - nature.
This inspiration was used to create this completely balanced diet based on fresh fruit and select low iron grains from Australian farms.
These pellets are extruded to unlock natural flavours, improve digestibility and ensure food safety.

Average Daily Pellet Requirements
Average Eclectus Parrot:
Approx. 450g bodyweight requires minimum 35g of Paradise Pellets per day. (Note: this figure considers you feed equal parts fruit and vegetables in addition)
Other frugivores (fruit pigeons, birds of paradise, minors etc):
Approx. 8g of Paradise pellets per 100g of bodyweight, in addition to fresh fruit.
Feeding Guide (pie chart)
- 50% Paradise Pellets
- 45% Fresh fruit and vegetables
- 5% Selected treats (seeds and nuts)
Unlimited water
Paradise Pellets have been developed to provide complete nutritional balance for growth, breeding, brain function and optimum feather development when fed as 50% of your Frugivores total diet.
The remaining 50% should consist of majority fresh fruit and vegetables (45%) and small portion of treat foods such as select nuts and seeds (5%).
Vetafarm Delistix can also be added into this 5% as a healthy balanced treat and behavioural enrichment tool. Foods high in iron should be avoided when feeding Frugivores with a low iron tolerance.
