Vetafarm MD (Maintenance Diet) Parrot Pellets are Vetafarm's original veterinary-formulated pellet food for parrots. It's a complete daily diet designed for non-breeding adult parrots, made in Australia from local produce.

The pellet format ensures the bird gets a balanced ratio of nutrients in every bite — unlike a seed mix, where birds can selectively eat the high-fat seeds and leave the rest. MD is formulated to provide complete maintenance nutrition for adult parrots, with vitamin, mineral and amino acid levels suited to a non-breeding lifestyle. Vet-formulated, no artificial colours or preservatives. Available in 350g and 2kg bags — the 2kg is the standard for owners feeding pellets as the everyday diet.

Vetafarm's MD is one of the longest-running veterinary parrot diets in Australia. Owners moving birds off seed mixes onto pellets typically use it as the transition food because the formulation is so widely trusted by avian vets. The transition takes time — birds raised on seed are often suspicious of pellets — but it's the standard approach for keeping a parrot in long-term good health.
