Bucktons launches smaller pack sizes for indoor pet bird food range

Bucktons, a leading indoor pet bird and wild bird food brand, and part of Westland Horticulture, has launched new, smaller bag sizes across a selection of its most popular indoor pet bird blends, making it even easier for customers to pick up and take home their favourite products.

 

The new range includes compact 2kg and 3kg options, designed with shopper convenience in mind, and the larger 12.75kg and 20kg sizes will still be available for those consumers that prefer to purchase in bulk. The smaller sizes are perfect for customers looking for lighter, more manageable packs without compromising on the high-quality nutrition Bucktons has been trusted for by generations of pet bird owners. 

 

The new sizes now available include:

No.1 Mixed Canary Food, 2kg

Now available in a 2kg pack size that will feed two canaries for up to four months, this feed features a variety of small seeds that are high in protein and help to maintain plumage condition. 

 

Special Budgie Food, 2kg

An easily digestible mixture that uses high quality sourced ingredients, is now available in a 2kg format that will feed two budgies for up to two months.

 

Cockatiel & Lovebird Food, 2kg

Using a selection of the finest quality small seeds that ensure easier digestion, this proven formulation contains a high oil content for improved condition and is now available in a 2kg format that will keep one bird fed for up to three months. 

 

Foreign Finch Food, 2kg

Suitable for all Finch species, this formulated blend uses only high quality ingredients, making it a great choice as an all-round mix, and is now available in a 2kg pack size that feeds two birds for up to four months. 

 

Elite Parrot Food, 3kg

This fruity blend of ingredients is now available in a 3kg pack size that will feed one parrot for approximately two months. This elite blend is designed to keep parrots amused as the ingredients are formulated to be in a variety of shapes and sizes. 

 

No.1 Parrot Food, 3kg

This traditional blend is now available in a 3kg pack size to keep one parrot fed for approximately two months and is suitable for a wide variety of parrot breeds. 

 

In addition to the smaller sizes, the Bucktons brand is also unveiling refreshed branding that will include clearer labelling to help pet owners understand exactly how long each bag will last the average pet bird. This update aims to remove confusion at point of purchase, making decisions quicker and easier for shoppers.

 

Kirk Rothwell, Brand Manager, at Bucktons, commented: "We know our customers value both quality and convenience, and these new pack sizes and improved on-pack guidance are part of our ongoing commitment to making pet bird care simpler and more accessible for everyone."
