How to Feed Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend:
At Kiki Pets, we know that feeding your parrot is about more than just nutrition—it’s an opportunity to connect, enrich, and nurture. That’s why Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend was created to offer flexibility and variety, while supporting your bird’s natural foraging instincts and dietary needs.
Whether you have a picky eater, an enthusiastic forager, or a bird who thrives on new textures and flavors, our blend fits beautifully into a balanced diet. And the best part? You can get creative with how you serve it!
Here’s your guide on how to offer our blend in ways that keep your feathered friend healthy, engaged, and excited for mealtime.
Serve It Dry—Simple and Satisfying
You can feed Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend as is, right out of the bag!
Dry feeding encourages natural foraging and allows parrots to peel and shell seeds, exercising their beaks and providing mental stimulation.
Serve it in a dish, foraging toy, or scatter a small portion around their play area for enrichment.
This method mimics how parrots forage in the wild and offers plenty of physical and mental benefits.
Soak It for a Different Texture
Soaking the seeds can soften the ingredients, bringing out different textures and flavors that some birds really enjoy.
Simply rinse the amount you plan to feed, then soak it in clean, fresh water for about 4-8 hours.
Rinse thoroughly before serving.
Soaked seeds can be easier for some birds to eat and may be a good option for birds who are molting, breeding, or seniors who need softer foods.
Be sure to remove any uneaten soaked seeds within a few hours to prevent spoilage!
Sprinkle It Over Bird Chop for a Fun Topper
Our blend makes an excellent topping for bird chop!
Sprinkle a small amount over your bird’s fresh chop to add crunch, flavor, and variety.
This encourages exploration and foraging, keeping birds engaged with their fresh foods.
You can also mix it with sprouts, cooked grains, or veggie mixes to enhance meals with texture and balanced nutrition.
Mix It Into Pellets for Balanced Nutrition
Many parrots are pellet-fed, but pellets alone can be boring! Add variety by mixing in a small portion of our blend.
Blend Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend with pellets to encourage foraging behaviors and diverse textures.
Use a small amount to avoid selective eating, ensuring your parrot still consumes their pellets.
This method allows you to offer nutritional enrichment without compromising the balance pellets provide.
A Kind Note About Sprouting
While some of the seeds in Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend may germinate, our blend is not designed or tested for sprouting.
We do not guarantee germination rates.
More importantly, the sprouting process carries a risk of mold growth, spoilage, and bacterial contamination if not done with great care.
Because of this, we do not recommend sprouting our mix. We formulated it to be fed dry, soaked, or as a topper, without the need for sprouting to unlock its nutritional benefits.
Feeding Tips for Success
Start small! Introduce our blend slowly, especially if your parrot is new to seeds or variety.
Portion mindfully: Our blend is nutrient-dense. Adjust portion sizes depending on your bird’s size, activity level, and overall diet.
Always provide fresh water and remove uneaten food daily to ensure cleanliness.
In Conclusion
With Kiki’s Daily Maintenance Blend, you have the freedom to create a feeding experience that’s as diverse and dynamic as your parrot’s personality. Whether served dry, soaked, sprinkled on chop, or mixed with pellets, our blend offers natural enrichment, balanced nutrition, and the joy of foraging.
Explore what works best for your bird, get creative, and enjoy watching them thrive!
