Parrots are intelligent, curious creatures with complex dietary needs. In the wild, they forage for a wide variety of foods, instinctively seeking out plants, seeds, fruits, and botanicals that provide the perfect balance of nutrition. However, commercial pellets alone offer no variety in shape, size, or smell. By adding Blossom Mix to your parrot’s diet, you immediately introduce greater nutritional diversity and mental stimulation.
Replicating a wild diet in captivity is a challenge, which is why we created Blossom Mix—a dry mix that supports physical health while encouraging natural foraging behaviors that keep your parrot mentally sharp and emotionally fulfilled.
Let’s dive into the exact benefits of each ingredient in Blossom Mix, covering everything from vitamins and minerals to how it supports your bird’s natural instincts.
Rowan Berries – Rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, these berries support immune function, aid in digestion, and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Hawthorn Berries – Renowned for heart health benefits, hawthorn berries improve circulation and provide essential flavonoids that support cardiovascular function.
Rose Hips – One of the richest sources of vitamin C, supporting immune function, skin health, and joint care. Rose hips also provide bioflavonoids that help with nutrient absorption.
Blueberries – Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber. Blueberries support cognitive function, immune health, and reduce oxidative stress.
These berries offer natural immune support, reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall well-being, making them an essential part of a parrot’s diet.
Dandelion Root – A natural liver tonic that aids digestion and detoxification. It’s also a good source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports healthy gut bacteria.
Fennel Seeds – Contain compounds that soothe digestive issues, prevent bloating, and act as a mild natural dewormer.
Chamomile Flowers – Known for their calming effects, chamomile supports digestion, reduces stress, and helps with mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Spearmint – Supports respiratory health and digestion while also providing a cooling, refreshing flavor that parrots enjoy.
Digestive health is critical for parrots, and these ingredients work synergistically to ensure optimal nutrient absorption while soothing the digestive tract.
Hibiscus – Rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, hibiscus helps support immune function, reduce inflammation, and balance blood pressure.
Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks – The mix contains broken-up pieces of Ceylon cinnamon sticks, which are parrot-safe and packed with antioxidants. They also have antimicrobial properties that support immune function.
Lavender – A natural stress reliever, lavender has calming effects on parrots, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
Raspberry Leaf – High in tannins, flavonoids, and antioxidants that support reproductive health and hormonal balance in birds.
Herbal additions such as these bring an extra layer of health benefits, from reducing stress to enhancing reproductive health.
Vitamin C (Rose hips, hibiscus, rowan berries, blueberries) – Supports immune function and reduces oxidative stress.
Vitamin A (Blueberries, marigold flowers) – Essential for eye health, feather quality, and immune support.
Flavonoids & Antioxidants (Hawthorn berries, hibiscus, rose hips) – Combat inflammation and support cellular health.
Calcium & Magnesium (Dandelion root, raspberry leaf) – Strengthen bones, support muscle function, and promote relaxation.
Fiber & Prebiotics (Dandelion root, fennel seeds) – Aid digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome.
These vital nutrients make Blossom Mix a powerhouse addition to any parrot’s diet.
Parrots aren’t just eaters—they’re foragers by nature. In the wild, they spend hours searching for food, using their beaks and brains to locate and extract nutrients.
Blossom Mix replicates this natural foraging experience in several ways:
Varied Textures – Crunchy seeds, chewy berries, fibrous roots, and delicate flowers keep birds engaged.
Scent Enrichment – Herbs like spearmint, lavender, and chamomile stimulate your bird’s sense of smell, adding a sensory dimension to feeding.
Cinnamon Pieces for Beak Work – The mix contains broken-up pieces of cinnamon sticks, which encourage chewing and beak conditioning, reducing destructive behaviours caused by boredom.
Scatter Feeding – This mix is perfect for scatter feeding, encouraging natural foraging behaviour that mimics what parrots do in the wild.
This not only enhances mental engagement but also reduces boredom and stress-related behaviours in pet parrots.
As a Complement to a Balanced Diet: Offer Blossom Mix alongside your parrot’s regular seed mix, pellets, and fresh vegetables to provide variety and additional nutrients.
As a Dry Mix: Serve in a separate dish or mix a small amount into their existing food.
As a Foraging Challenge: Hide pieces in foraging toys or scatter across a play area for a fun, interactive feeding session.
This flexibility makes it easy to incorporate into daily feeding routines, enhancing both nutrition and engagement.
Blossom Mix isn’t just another parrot food—it’s a scientifically backed, enrichment-focused blend designed to enhance your bird’s diet by adding essential vitamins, minerals, and sensory stimulation in a way that no generic seed mix can.
Used alongside a balanced diet of seeds, pellets, and fresh vegetables, Blossom Mix supports your parrot’s physical and mental well-being—providing the best of nature in every bite!
