Countrywide VAM Parrot – Low Sunflower is a premium UK-manufactured bird food blend specifically engineered for parrots, especially species prone to weight gain like African Greys. It features a significantly reduced sunflower seed content (approximately 15%) to lower overall fat intake while utilizing an incredibly diverse mix of seeds, grains, fruits, and Nutribird P19 pellets to ensure complete, balanced nutrition.
Key Features
-
- Low Sunflower Content: Formulated with around 15% sunflower seeds (small and white sunflower variants). This prevents selective overeating of high-fat seeds and manages your bird’s weight effectively.
- Added VAM Pellets: Infused with Nutribird P19 pellets, which provide necessary Vitamins, Amino acids, and Minerals that standard seed-only mixes lack. Enhanced Digestibility & Health: Contains fine oyster shell grit to support proper gizzard function and calcium levels, alongside blended marine oil for feather condition
