 Typical Analysis

Directions

Feed dry, or mix with warm water to a desired consistency. Always ensure that fresh drinking water is available. Remove soiled or uneaten food daily. Captive birds are prone to over-eating, so feed according to body weight, based on the guidelines below.

These feed amounts may vary depending on daily temperature, bird activity level and the nutritional value of other foods eaten. Offer a variety of fruit, vegetables and as much native blossom as possible.

Breeding Lorikeets

Increase feed quantity by up to 50% and supplement with Parrot Soft Food or Finch Soft Food.

Wild Lorikeets

Ration daily feed to no more than 3g (⅓ scoop) per bird per day. Limit feeding frequency to reduce dependence on the food. Thoroughly clean feed containers between feeds. Transmission of disease and the presence of predators can be problems at feed stations. An alternative to feeding is to plant flowering native shrubs and provide fresh water.

Analysis

Feed until the crop is comfortably full. As a general rule, this equates to about 10% of body weight per feed. Let the crop empty completely at least once a day by allowing an overnight fasting period.

Growth

Weigh chicks before feeding each day. On average chicks should gain from 5 -15% of their body weight per day, until they are well-feathered. Failure to gain weight could indicate disease, or mean that chicks are not getting enough food. Healthy chicks that are not gaining sufficient weight may need more frequent feeds, more volume at each feed or a higher proportion of powder in the mix. Feed and growth charts for various species are available under Hand-Rearing.

Weaning

Offer adult-type foods once chicks are fully feathered or start to resist being hand fed. Ideal weaning foods include Parrot Soft Food, Budgie Starter or Egg & Biscuit. Gradually reduce the frequency and volume of hand rearing food to encourage weaning. For long-term health, it is a good practice to wean young birds on to a balanced diet of Parrot Pellets/Crumbles. Initially offer moistened pellets/crumbles and once chicks start eating these, they can be fed dry. Chicks may naturally lose some weight during weaning (up to 15%), so it’s important to monitor food consumption and bird health in this period.

Nutritional supplement for finches and softbills. Feed to breeding birds, as a substitute for live food, or to improve a seed-based diet.

Key Features

• Excellent Nutrition: Highly digestible protein with a balance of amino acids for muscle and feather condition.
• Improved Breeding Condition: Vitamins, minerals and omega 3 & 6 to enhance egg production and chick health.
• Ideal Live Food Substitute: Easy and nutritious replacement to feeding live food.

Feeding Guide

Captive Birds

Use as the maintenance diet for captive lorikeets, lories & honeyeaters. Overfeeding can cause obesity, so feed the suggested amounts in the feeding guide. In hot weather provide fresh food in the morning and evening to prevent spoilage. Offer fresh water, fruit and blossom daily. For breeding birds increase feed by 30% and supplement with Insectivore Rearing Mix or Finch Soft Food.

Supplementing Wild Birds

Set up an elevated feeding station. Provide the prepared food in a shallow, glazed bowl. Ration daily feed to no more than 10mL per lorikeet or 5mL per honeyeater. Limit the frequency of food offered to reduce dependence on the food. Remove the bowl daily and thoroughly clean it. Disease transmission and the presence of predators can be a problem at feed stations. An alternative to direct feeding is to plant native shrubs and provide fresh water.

Easily prepared liquid food for nectar-eating birds and animals including lorikeets, honeyeaters and sugar gliders.

No weighing, no measuring, just add water and shake. 100gms makes 500ml

Ingredients

Pack Size

100g makes 500mL of nectar.

Also available as Wombaroo Lorikeet & Honeyeater Food in 300g, 1.5kg, 4.5kg & 9kg packs

Directions

To make 500mL: Half fill bottle with warm water and shake to disperse powder. Then fill bottle with more water and shake. 

Store nectar in refrigerator for one day or freeze for upto one month. Freeze small portions in ice-cube trays and thaw-out as required. Do not re-freeze thawed nectar.

For added variety and flavour, make-up using half water and half fruit juice.

Feeding Captive Birds

Use Nectar Shake 'N' Make as a treat for captive lorikeets, lories & honeyeaters. Do not overfeed as this is wasteful and may cause obesity in captive birds. Birds should be offered fresh fruit and blossom daily.

Supplementing Wild Birds

Wombaroo Nectar Shake 'N' Make can be used as a supplement for attracting native birds into the garden. Set up an elevated feeding station on a pole or suspended from the branch of a tree. Provide the prepared food in a shallow, glazed bowl or feeding tube. Ration daily feed to no more than 10mL per lorikeet or 5mL per honeyeater. Always limit the amount of food offered to reduce dependence on the food. Remove the bowl after feeding and thoroughly clean it - disease transmission can be a problem at feed stations. Be aware that when you attract birds into your garden you may also be attracting predators, so steps may need to be taken to avoid this problem.

For larger volumes

If feeding larger volumes use the Wombaroo Lorikeet & Honeyeater Food, as this is available in more cost effective bulk sizes and made up at a higher concentration. This product also comes with suggested maintenance feed volumes per day.

Distributed widely throughout Australia, lorikeets and lories feed mainly on fruit, pollen and nectar, and possess a tongue adapted especially for their particular diet.

Neocare is Vetafarm's most advanced hand-rearing formula. It was formulated by avian veterinarians to provide optimal nutrition, growth and development for all species of baby birds.

This product contains fresh Australian ingredients and is fortified with all necessary vitamins, minerals, calcium and amino acids for growing bones, organ function and strong feather development.

Neocare contains probiotics to promote healthy gut flora and pre-digestives to increase gut efficiency and ensure maximum nutrient absorption.

The extrusion process is used to create Neocare for safety and increased digestibility.

Directions:

Feeding Preparation:

Always mix Neocare fresh before each feed.

Do not re-use or refrigerate pre-mixed formula.

Never use a microwave to heat formula as it can create hot spots and cause crop burns.

Always use a fork to mix. This ensures proper mixing and consistency. Do not use a spoon.

Formula should always be between 38-41°C when feeding to avoid crop burns and indigestion.

Neonate / Transition Feeding

1. Always start with a very runny mix. Add 2 small level scoops of Neocare formula to a mixing cup, followed by 1 large scoop and 1 small scoop of boiling water.

2. Mix thoroughly using a fork for 30 seconds or until an even consistency is achieved. It is very important to ensure that you mix using a fork, using the back side of the fork to push through and stir the mixture.

3. Ensure the formula is a smooth consistency and that there are no dry lumps. Check the temperature, and then feed.

4. Over the next 48 hours, gradually thicken formula until the regular mixing level (outlined below) is reached.

Regular Feeding

Feeding Frequency

The first feed of the day should be approximately 5-6am, and the last feed between 10-11pm. Once every 24 hours, usually at the start of the day, the crop should be allowed to empty completely. The age and species of birds being raised affects the amount and frequency of feeds, so it is important to research individual requirements thoroughly before you begin. Always record your baby’s weight each day before feeding.
