The all natural baking process keeps more nutrition intact and is less abrasive to nutritious and natural ingredients particularly proteins, vitamins and minerals. Natural leavening breaks down the indigestible components of grains, a process that develops the gourmet full flavor of whole grains without using sweeteners, oils, preservatives or yeast.

OUR BAKING PROCESS IS A NATURAL INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR AVIAN DIETS

The nature of our natural baking process allows the option of using large grain particles in the formulas. Nutritional research indicates that using larger grain particles may improve nutrient retention and digestion for your pet bird. Greater development of the gastrointestinal tract suggests that bird food may be retained in the upper digestive tract for a longer period allowing for increased enzymatic digestion. The natural baking dictates that our nuggets and pellets are produced in small batches, this is advantageous because it simplifies our rigorous quality control. Our manufacturing process achieves the highest quality and consistency.

Our natural baking process provides a gourmet texture which allows your pet bird to feed naturally, using harvesting techniques and mechanics which are similar to those used by their wild counterparts as they forage for food. Your pet bird is attracted to the natural shape, pleasing texture and visual content of Oven Fresh Bites™ premium parrot food. The nuggets and pellets are generally picked up with the foot of the parrot, particles are loosened using the beak. and manipulated with the tongue while being prepared for ingestion. This natural behavior is remarkably similar to the physical practices and behaviors of your bird feeding in its natural habitat. It is a parrot’s natural way of feeding and they have successfully employed this technique for several hundred thousand years! Developed by veterinarians and nutritionists Oven Fresh Bites™ natural gourmet nuggets and pellets provide the solution for the discriminating pet bird owners who are looking for a nutritious, natural parrot food.Oven Fresh Bites is second to none! Because our bird and parrot feed is oven baked, the natural flavors of all the ingredients are retained.

CONVERT YOUR BIRD TO A HEALTHIER DIET WITH OVEN BAKED BIRD FOOD

Unlike other parrot food, Oven Fresh Bites™ bird food does not utilize corn or wheat as the primary source of dietary energy and protein. Oven Fresh Bites™ is oven baked and uses wholesome ingredients that offer a variety of nutrients and textures such as oatmeal and sunflower meal. This special blend of bird food has been tried and tested by bird and parrot owners alike.

NATURAL CONVERSION METHODS

Association Feeding:
Combine 50% of the seed based or other diet with an equal amount of Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet parrot food. Fill food bowl approximately 30%. Feed three times daily for 15 -30 minutes, removing the food between meals to determine how much of each food type has been consumed. If your bird has eaten Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet parrot food, increase the amount with each feeding until the parrot is eating 100% of its new and nutritious diet. Seeds should be used only as treats. This method may take a few days or weeks, depending entirely on how your parrot responds. The advantage of the association feeding technique is you’re knowing that your parrot will not go without food, but will have an appetite at each scheduled feeding.

Immediate Transition Feeding:
Offer a few of the Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet nuggets as a treat for several days and remove all parrot food from the cage at night. Feed the regular diet free choice during the day. After 5 to 7 days, introduce 100% Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet parrot food for the morning feeding. If the parrot has not eaten the food by the afternoon, remove the new diet and replace with ¾ of the normal ration. Remove it before bedtime. During the next few weeks increase the amount of time that the morning portion of Oven Fresh Bites™ nutritious parrot food is left in the cage before giving the parrot an evening feeding with the previous diet. Repeat the process until the morning ration is fully consumed and offer a second helping in the evening.

Instinctive Feeding:
Most parrots, especially psittacines, prefer to feed from the treetops or the highest elevation possible where the risk of exposure to predators is minimal. To capitalize on this natural behavior feed a 50% ration of the regular food in its original position, add another similar bowl which contains an equal amount of Oven Fresh Bites™ nutritious parrot food in the highest location possible in the cage and add a water vessel nearby. Because parrots prefer the higher location, many are inclined to investigate the new bowl and test its contents. Observe the amount of parrot food remaining in each bowl at the end of the day. As the amount of food consumed from the top bowl increases, you should proportionally decrease the amount of food in the lower bowl. Eventually the parrot will be eating only Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet parrot food. This method ensures that your parrot will never be without a familiar food and the time required to make a complete transition can be extended. If your parrot offers resistance to this natural and nutritious food, try these helpful hints which have proven to be successful for other bird owners.

Helpful Hints
Your bird may not immediately recognize the new diet as food, be patient. Try introducing Oven Fresh Bites™ gourmet parrot food as treats, especially out of the cage! Try hiding in a favorite foraging device. Because parrots are flock oriented, your bird might benefit from exposure to a converted role model. Try pretending to eat Oven Fresh Bites™ yourself! Sometimes seeing a flock member “eating” the food can convince a skeptical parrot to try the new diet. If your parrot remains reluctant to experiment with the new food seek additional advice from your veterinarian.

Consult Your Veterinarian
Malnutrition and obesity are one of the most commonly reported health risks in companion birds. Birds that eat primarily seed-based diets do not receive adequate vitamins and minerals. Seed-based diets are the equivalent of humans eating “junk food” for breakfast, lunch and dinner! These issues can be remedied by feeding a nutritionally balanced diet such as Oven Fresh Bites™ nutritious parrot food. Your avian veterinarian should routinely evaluate your bird’s overall health. After your parrot has received a wellness exam you will be ready to begin the conversion process to our natural gourmet food. Your veterinarian will help you identify strategies for food transition, and can help monitor your parrot’s progress throughout the conversion process. Weighing your bird during the transition process can ensure that your bird is receiving adequate calories.

Do’s And Don’ts When Changing Diets

Do know your birds weight. Purchase a gram scale at your local bird or kitchen supply store to track your birds weight on a daily basis
Do provide clean, fresh water every day
Don’t be impatient, conversion to a new diet may is not easy but the long term health benefits will be worth the effort
Don’t use additional vitamin or mineral supplements
Don’t change your diet if your bird is sick
