About: Cloud 9™ Super Seed Blend
Elevate your parrot’s enrichment and nutritional variety with Cloud 9™ Super Seed Blend, a thoughtfully curated mix of over nine premium seeds, herbs, and botanicals selected to support overall wellness, foraging behavior, and dietary diversity. This blend is designed as a functional supplement and enrichment food—not a primary food source—to complement a healthy foundation of pellets, a high-variety seed mix, and fresh vegetables.
From an avian nutrition and phytochemistry perspective, many of the seeds and herbs in Cloud 9™ are studied in animal and avian research for their roles in providing essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), plant antioxidants, dietary fiber, protein, and naturally occurring bioactive compounds. Ingredients such as flax and hemp contribute essential fatty acids associated with feather quality, skin health, and immune support, while aromatic herbs like fennel, anise, coriander, rosemary, and caraway contain compounds researched for digestive support and antimicrobial properties.
Why Cloud 9™ supports parrot care (when used correctly):
- Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids: Support feather condition, skin integrity, and normal inflammatory balance
- Antioxidant-rich botanicals: Help protect cells from oxidative stress
- Digestive & gut support: Aromatic seeds and herbs are traditionally studied for digestive comfort and microbial balance
- Protein & fiber: Contribute to satiety, muscle maintenance, and digestive health
- Foraging enrichment: Mixed textures and aromas encourage natural exploration and mental stimulation
Important bird-care note:
Cloud 9™ Super Seed Blend is NOT a primary food source. Avian veterinary nutrition literature consistently cautions that seed-heavy diets can contribute to nutrient imbalance, obesity, and fatty liver disease. This blend should be used in moderation only, as a supplement and enrichment food to complement—not replace—a balanced diet of pellets, varied seeds, and fresh foods.

Feeding Instructions
Use as a supplemental seed blend, foraging mix, or enrichment topper—not a complete diet.
How to offer:
- Sprinkle lightly over pellets or fresh chop to encourage interest and dietary variety
- Offer in a foraging tray or enrichment toy to promote natural feeding behaviors
- Rotate with other enrichment blends to avoid overexposure to any single ingredient
Suggested serving amounts:
(Adjust based on species, size, activity level, and total diet.)
- Small parrots (budgies, lovebirds, parrotlets): ¼–½ teaspoon per session, 2–3 times per week
- Medium parrots (cockatiels, conures, quakers): ½–1 teaspoon per session, 2–3 times per week
- Large parrots (amazons, African greys, cockatoos, macaws): 1–2 teaspoons per session, 2 times per week
Reduce frequency if other fatty seeds or supplements are offered.
Best practices:
- Keep supplemental blends to a small percentage of total intake
- Maintain a foundation diet of quality formulated pellets, a varied seed mix, and fresh vegetables, consistent with avian nutrition research
- Always provide fresh water daily
- Store Cloud 9™ Super Seed Blend in a cool, dry, airtight container to preserve freshness and potency
