Why should I feed my bird Low-Fat Maintenance?

The Low-Fat diet is formulated for birds that are overweight. In general, a bird can be considered obese if its body weight is 15% or more than its expected body weight for that species. The Low-fat diet is valuable because obesity increases the risk of heart disease (in longer lived species), lipoma formation, egg binding in reproductively active hens, respiratory distress upon excitation or stress, and increased anesthetic and surgical risks. If you think your bird may be obese, it is advisable to have your bird examined by an avian veterinarian.

I started my bird on Maintenance Diet to get him used to pellets. Now I want to switch him to Low-Fat, but he won't eat it. What should I do?

The easiest thing to do is add limited amounts of Low-Fat to the Maintenance diet until he gets used to having less fat in his diet. As soon as he is used to one level of Low-Fat in his dish, increase the proportion of Low-Fat in steps until he is eating nothing but Low-Fat. It may help to mix the two kinds of feed for a minute or two to allow some of the fat from the Maintenance Diet to coat the Low-Fat feed.
