Garvo bird seeds, bird food, bird nutrition
Garvo bird seeds, bird food, bird nutrition cage & aviary birdsWhen you keep birds and care for them, there is no greater satisfaction than healthy and fine-looking birds. To this end, health and nutrition are interwoven: fresh drinking water, proper feed, sufficient care and attention determine the ultimate quality of the birds. When they live in the wild, our aviary birds feed on seeds and buds, fruits, leafy greens and clay minerals, providing a complete supply of nutrients. Seeds alone are not enough for a balanced diet. Canaries, parakeets and tropical birds, each need their own specific food supply. Garvo has composed different kind of mixtures with various coarseness of the seeds and nutritional value, which perfectly fit the needs of the different birds. When birds have a balanced diet, they are active and lively. The right feed affects their resistance and helps determine their life expectancy. Garvo's seed mixtures form the basic feed for seed-eating aviary birds. Give fresh birdseed every day, rationing the amount, and make sure that they always have fresh water. In addition, give all your birds egg food two or three times a week or give them a supplement, such as 9508 garvo-cyme. Only then will they get sufficient minerals, vitamins and micronutrients. [KADER] Garvo-cyme Garvo-cyme is an effective supplement for your birds, based on baking yeast. Because it contains the necessary proteins and vitamins, it is an ideal supplementary feed for your birds. Mix garvo-cyme with your birds' seed mixture once or twice a week. The dosage is about one tablespoon of garvo-cyme to 1kg of feed. [EINDE KADER] To complete the care, give them as much grit and sharp gravel as they want, which is even more important when you breed birds. Special bird grit has a fine structure and provides the necessary calcium for building and maintaining the skeleton. Sharp gravel serves as "molars", crushing the seeds in the bird's gizzard and facilitating the activity of digestive fluids. Without stomach grit, it is much harder for the birds to digest the nutrients from the seeds. Scatter some sharp grit on the floor of your aviary or put it in a separate dish. The birds will take only a little, but this is all they need. [TKP] Aviaries with mixed bird species Aviculturists who want to have various bird species in one aviary will need 5343 Aviary seed. This mixture is an ideal feed, richly assorted to meet the basic needs of all seed-eating birds. It is a real boon for any heterogenous gathering of birds in your aviary. However, if you want to breed certain birds in your aviary, Garvo recommends that you provide each bird species with its own special feed. [TKP] Budgies Garvo’s 5341 budgerigars basic and 3828 budgerigars show are special mixes for budgerigars and English budgies. The composition of budgerigars show is richer and makes it very suitable for birds that are used for breeding, as well as for parakeets in an outdoor aviary, since they use more energy. [TKP] Large Parakeets Garvo has two mixtures for large parakeets: 5342 large parakeet and 5325 large parakeet extra. Both mixes are suitable for all large parakeets, including the Australian budgerigars, like the cockatiels, and the various rosellas, such as the common, crimson and penant rosella. It is better to ration the feed for parakeets. If there is too much food, the birds will first select the coarse seeds and not eat the complete composition. Garvo's large parakeet extra contains more sunflower seeds, making this mixture richer in fat and more suitable for South-American large parakeets. [TKP] Lovebirds Lovebirds or Agapornides can't handle the coarse mixtures for parrots. 9111 Lovebird seed is especially composed for these thick-billed parrots and is very suitable for the well-known Peach-faced, Masked, Fischer's and Abyssinian Lovebird. Lovebird seed is also good for the Australian grass parakeets. When you give them this nutritious mixture, you can add some leaf buds, leafy greens or pieces of fruit. [TKP] Parrots Parrots can have a long life span with the proper care and a healthy diet. Garvo's 5313 parrot melange is a good foundation for a healthy parrot. Garvo parrot melange contains grit to support their digestive system. It also contains cedar nuts, which stimulate the birds’ digestion and provide the essential fatty acids that are paramount for their resistance to diseases. Parrot melange is very suitable for the larger parrot species, like the macaw, the cockatoo, the amazon and the African grey. Give them the necessary supplements or some egg food, and ensure that grit or chalk is added to their menu. [TKP] Tropical birds Garvo has two mixtures for tropical birds. 5351 tropical birds basic is somewhat coarser than 3829 tropical birds show, which makes it very suitable for, among others, the estrildid finches, and the zebra and gouldian finches, but also for the red-headed and tri-coloured parrot-finches and the shaft-tail grass finch. Tropical birds show is an excellent mixture for small African tropical birds, such as the orange-cheeked waxbill, red-cheeked cordon blue, yellow-fronted canary and black-rumped waxbill. To enrich the feed, you can add about ten percent of 5333 weeds mixture. Tropical birds are also fond of foxtail millet, and it is a lovely sight to see how they pluck the seeds from the stalks. [TKP] Diamond doves Diamond doves are small pigeons. With their small bills they can hardly pick up the seeds from the common fancy pigeon feeds. It is advisable to give them 3829 tropical birds show to provide the necessary nutrition. [TKP] Canaries 5361 Canary basic is a varied mixture for all canaries. Ration the quantity for your canaries; they usually spill it anyway. When your canaries are moulting (in spring and autumn or when there is a drastic change in temperature), it is important to provide them with fat, and canary basic is sufficient. Garvo 5371 Canary without turnip rapeseeds is a mixture without the bitter turnip rapeseeds, especially composed for bigger type canaries, like the Gloster, the York and the Norwich canaries. [TKP] Wild passerine birds European cultured birds or wild birds like goldfinches, bullfinches, greenfinches, yellowhammers, linnets and sparrows, can get their basic nutrition eating 5345 European indigenous bird mixture. You can enrich this mixed birdseed with safflower seeds or with 5333 weeds mixture. [TKP] Garden birds Birds add liveliness to your garden and around your home. If you regularly scatter some 5346 wintermix for gardenbirds in your garden, you can be sure that sparrows, blackbirds, thrushes, finches, robins, oxeyes and perhaps even squirrels will come to visit you. Winter is not the only time that wild birds find it difficult to collect food. Nature often does not provide enough variety in their diet in early spring, when many birds have chicks, or in summer, when it is hot. Garvo's 5346 wintermix for gardenbirds is a well-balanced and responsible relief for wild birds.
