exploring everything I put in that cage for them. They also learnt to feed themselves within a couple of weeks and were soon enjoying the fruit/veg/pulses I feed to the adults the pulses I only feed during the breeding season. I also introduced them to P15 tropical pellets by Versele Laga, which again all my adults get, and they had great fun with these as toys and food. I do sometimes feed a parakeet mix but not as a main food.
This year I added some extras to the
birds’ feeding regime. I know the Birdcare Company’s reputation is second to none and wanted to try their ‘Potent brew’ as another breeder highly recommended it for top breeding results. I phoned the company and they suggested something

different: ‘Super Max Breeder’ which is a powder supplement given 6 weeks before the breeding season and ‘Super Feast’ which is an egg food with prebiotic herbs and mixed with honey – it’s lovely and moist, and also smells great. I started feeding these during the breeding season so a bit late but so far it seems good. I don’t know if the supplements really make a great difference but I am happy to add them knowing they are a nice additive to their diet. The Super Feast has replaced my old ‘not so interesting’ egg food mixture and there is no need for extra calcium as it is also included. It’s all a little bit more expensive from the Birdcare Company but I believe I am giving my birds the best I can get and I will continue using these products. A tip
