Store below 30 degrees Celsius. Shelf life is 3 years from date of manufacture. Keep away from children and pets when not in use.

Is this safe to use around my birds?
Yes. Avicare is completely safe for all birds and environments. Always remove your bird from the area before cleaning and allow surfaces to air dry before returning your bird to the cage or aviary.

What surfaces can I clean with this?
Use on bird cages, Seed Cubes, perches, toys, swings, food and water bowls, hand-rearing equipment, incubators, brooders and hospital cages. Do not use in fish tanks or on aquatic equipment.

Why do I need to wait 5 minutes?
The 5-minute contact time allows Avicare to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi on contact. This is particularly important for disinfection and disease prevention.

Can I use this on my Seed Cube?
Yes. Avicare is ideal for maintaining hygiene in Seed Cube trays and on perches. Weekly cleaning helps prevent bacterial buildup and keeps your bird's feeding area safe.

Do I need to rinse after using Avicare?
For disinfection, allow to air dry without rinsing. For cleaning with visible dirt, rinse after scrubbing and allow to air dry. Both methods are safe once dry.

Maintenance Pellets are a clean, natural-coloured everyday diet with no added flavours or sugars.

Parrot Essentials offers the same complete nutrition but includes 5 percent real fruit, 5 percent seasonal nuts and a blueberry flavour to encourage feeding and enrichment.

  • Parrot Essentials is ideal for medium to large parrots that enjoy variety
  • Nutriblend Mini, Small or Large is perfect for birds of different sizes from cockatiels to macaws
  • South American Mix suits conures, amazons and macaws
  • Paradise Pellets are made for Eclectus and other fruit-eating species
  • B-Calm is designed for birds that experience mild anxiety or stress

Yes. Vetafarm pellets are complete and balanced. They should make up 80 percent of your bird’s daily diet. The remaining 20 percent can include fresh fruit, vegetables and occasional treat foods like nuts or seeds.

Only the pellet size is different. The nutritional content is the same.

  • Mini is suited to small birds like cockatiels, conures and lovebirds.
  • Small works for ringnecks, Alexandrines and amazons.
  • Large is best for cockatoos, macaws and African greys.

Parrot B-Calm is a complete pellet diet that supports birds prone to anxiety or nervous behaviour. It contains L-tryptophan to support mood balance. It is non-sedative and safe for daily feeding as your bird’s main food.

Start with a 50:50 mix of your current seed and Vetafarm pellets. Gradually reduce the seed over one to two weeks. Birds often accept fruit-flavoured pellets like Nutriblend or Parrot Essentials more easily during transition.

Nectar Pellets are low in sugar, tidy to feed and nutritionally complete.

Forest Fusion includes ingredients like dates, bee pollen and blueberry for flavour and gut health.

Both should make up 80 percent of the diet, supported by fresh fruit for enrichment.

Yes. Avicare is a hospital-grade disinfectant that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is safe for use on Seed Cubes, perches, toys, food bowls and most surfaces in your bird’s space. Always remove your bird before cleaning and allow items to dry fully before reuse.

Yes. Vetafarm pellets can be used as the base diet while Forage blends add natural variety. Many customers feed pellets as 80 percent of the diet and use seed, vegetables and fruit to complete the remaining 20 percent.
