Product Faqs

Q: What makes this a high-protein and high-fiber blend?
A: Mycelium Cockatoo Food contains 17.4% protein from peanuts, sunflower seeds, and hemp, which provide essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and energy. The 20.5% fiber content, sourced from buckwheat and oat groats, supports digestive health and ensures proper nutrient absorption.

Q: Why are peanuts and sunflower seeds important in a Cockatoo’s diet?
A: Peanuts and sunflower seeds are rich in protein and healthy fats, which contribute to sustained energy, brain function, and feather health. These ingredients help maintain a Cockatoo’s active lifestyle while providing essential nutrients for optimal well-being.

Q: How does buckwheat benefit digestion?
A: Buckwheat is a high-fiber, easily digestible grain that supports gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria and preventing digestive issues. It helps Cockatoos process nutrients efficiently while reducing the risk of bloating or constipation.

A: Yes, this formula is designed with easily digestible grains and high-fiber ingredients to promote gut health. The absence of artificial additives and synthetic pesticides further ensures a gentle feeding experience for Cockatoos with sensitive digestive systems.

Q: Why is natural calcium included in the blend?
A: Calcium from pellets and kibbles is essential for maintaining strong bones, beak health, and proper nerve function. This is particularly important for breeding Cockatoos, as calcium supports eggshell production and overall skeletal integrity.

Q: How does this formula support feather health?
A: High-quality proteins from nuts and seeds, along with omega-rich hemp, contribute to strong, vibrant feathers. Proper nutrition helps reduce feather plucking, promotes regrowth, and enhances feather sheen and strength.
