Black Parrot Breeder Grower 18% is a high-performance, nutritionally balanced feed designed specifically for breeding, growing, and rearing parrots and large hookbill birds. With a higher protein level than maintenance diets, it supports healthy chick development, strong feather growth, successful breeding cycles, and optimal condition in parent birds.

This scientifically formulated ration ensures breeding pairs receive the extra energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals required during egg laying, chick feeding, and post-breeding recovery. It also supports young birds during critical growth stages for strong skeletal and feather development.
