Artemis
Aviary Presents
Comparison of Avian Handfeeding Formulas
5/17/2009
**IMPORTANT NOTES**
- If there's a company missing
from my chart, it's most likely by mistake - please contact me via email.
I will need literature, company contact information or empty packages to
document them.
- Cells marked only with ?
are data I'm missing. This doesn't mean the product doesn't contain said
item; I just don't know at this date in what amount.
- I've also only noted the most often
listed nutrients / vitamins found on the labels - this also doesn't mean
that the diet doesn't contain other nutrients / vitamins.
- For simplicity sake, I chose
formula per company to profile - mainly the size for small birds
(lovebird, cockatiels etc.). Measurement units are noted in the header
unless specifically stated in the cell itself.
- Information is taken from
literature or product labels from Manufacturer.
Please NOTE - We DO NOT make recommendations on which pellet to use for your bird or which pellet is "better". You need to consult an avian veterinarian or an avian nutritionalist for that advice. This page is only an informational comparison.
