Sun Seed Vita Small Hookbill 2.5lb
Sun Seed Vita Formulas are an excellent beginning to your bird's daily diet. As with all Sun Seed products, Vita Formulas start with a superior mixture of seeds and grains. This mixture is then fortified with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
The vitamin fortification is a two step process. First, ingredients that are totally consumable, such as oat groats, the heart of the oat seed, and flaked corn are coated with water soluble vitamins, human grade food colorings, and orange extract.
Water soluble vitamins are used because larger birds often tend to dip their food in their water prior to eating. If this occurs, some of the vitamins will actually soak off the food and fortify the water as well. The food coloring is used because most birds seem to be attracted to brightly colored objects and we want to ensure that they will be interested in the vitamin coated pieces. The orange extract also seems to help attract the birds to the vitaminized morsels.
Secondly, in addition to the vitamin coating, enriched extruded SunDiet pellets are also added to Vita formulas to offer the bird variety and help assure that even the most finicky eater will benefit from the vitamins that fortify Sun Seed's Vita Formulas.
