Nutrition

My preference as seed mixture goes to “AGAPORNIS CHAMP ORIGINAL” of the company SLAATS. This mixture has been created by Rudi Bleyen and introduced together with the company SLAATS on the market. This mixture is provided to my birds throughout the year, plus 1/3 of oats depending on the breeding or the resting season. After the breeding, 1/3 of sunflower seeds will be added to this mix and fed to the young birds. Be careful that they won’t become too fat!

This will also be provided to the fischeries, tiricas and elegants.

Complementary to this seed mixture I try to feed the birds 3 times a week extra fresh fruits and vegetables such as: apples, broccoli, onions, carrots, cauliflower, chicory and bell pepper. As supplementary nurture I choose “Tropical Paté” of ORLUX which are already provided to them from day 1 after hatching out of the eggs.

About 3 times a week this is complemented with self-created supplementary nurture. The homemade egg food consists of ½ part crushed bread and ½ part dry supplemtary nurture “Tropical Paté” of ORLUX. Furthermore crushed fruits and vegetables are added, supplemented with 1 cup of muesli.

My birds are also dewormed twice a year. For this treatment I use PANACUR.
