Grand Parakeet Food: Sturdy Mixes for Keepers and Breeders

Grand Parakeet Food: Sturdy Fare for Large Parakeets

Grand parakeets have a powerful beak and therefore need correspondingly larger seeds. Here you will find grand parakeet food from Leimüller for everyday use and for breeding, plus separate mixes for neophemas and lovebirds. The range is rounded off by sprouting food for the breeding and moulting season and by millet spray, which gives your birds something to nibble on.

For everyday use and for breeding

The Grand Parakeet Food Classic covers the daily need, while the Premium mix is put together to a higher grade. For the breeding season there is a separate mix matched to the raised demand of breeding pairs. Because sunflower seeds are rich in fat, you will also find the breeding mix in a variety without sunflower seeds. That is handy when your birds should not put on too much weight. Fill the bowl fresh every day and remove empty husks, so your parakeet always reaches full seeds.

For neophemas, lovebirds and treats

Not every parakeet eats the same way. The neophema food is matched to neophemas such as the splendid and turquoise parakeet, while the lovebird food suits the smaller lovebirds with their strong beak. Sprouting food for grand parakeets is made from germinated seeds and is in demand above all during breeding and moulting. As a treat you hang a millet spray into the cage, which your birds strip themselves. It replaces no staple food, yet it keeps them busy.

Frequently asked questions

Why a mix without sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds are rich in fat. If your birds should not get too heavy, or you want to steer the breeding, the variety without sunflower seeds is the better choice.

Does grand parakeet food suit lovebirds?
For lovebirds there is a separate mix matched to their size. You will likewise find a dedicated food for neophemas such as the splendid and turquoise parakeet.

When do I give sprouting food?
Sprouting food suits the breeding and moulting season, when the need rises. Offer it on top of the seed mix and take leftovers out of the cage on the same day.
