Your Complete Guide to Your Parrot Supplements: What They Do & When to Use Them

Providing a balanced diet is the foundation of keeping a healthy parrot, but there are times when additional nutritional support can make a real difference. Whether you're preparing birds for breeding, supporting chicks, helping a bird recover from illness or simply maintaining peak health, Your Parrot Supplements are formulated to provide targeted nutrition when your birds need it most.

Here's a guide to each supplement in the range and when you should use it.

Your Parrot Probiotic

A healthy digestive system is essential for nutrient absorption and overall wellbeing. Your Parrot Probiotic contains beneficial bacteria that help support a balanced gut microbiome.

Ideal for:

• After antibiotic treatment

• During weaning

• After moving home

• Following illness or stress

• Routine digestive support

Healthy digestion often leads to stronger immunity, improved droppings and better nutrient absorption.

How to use:
Mix with soft food, egg food or your bird's daily feed following the recommended dosage on the packaging. It can be used as part of a regular health routine or during periods of increased stress.

Your Parrot B-Complex

Best for: Recovery, nervous system support, breeding birds and periods of stress.

B vitamins are essential for energy production, nerve function and normal metabolism. During illness, recovery, stress or breeding, birds can benefit from additional B vitamin support to help maintain their health and appetite.

• Birds under stress

• After veterinary treatment

• Breeding pairs

• Young growing birds

• During moulting

Many breeders begin using Breeder Boost several weeks before pairing birds.

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for parrots, particularly during periods of rapid growth or feather production.

Protein Pro 50 can be used:

It helps provide the amino acids needed for healthy feather and muscle development.

Your Parrot Calcium

Calcium plays a vital role in:

• Muscle function

Extra calcium is particularly important for hens during breeding and egg production.

How to use:
Offer as directed on the packaging, particularly during breeding and egg laying when calcium requirements are increased.

Your Parrot Vitamin E

Vitamin E is widely recognised for its role in reproduction and fertility.

• Breeding condition

It is commonly used alongside Breeder Boost as part of a breeding programme.
