Tropican Alternative Formula for Parrots

$34.38 $42.97

Tropican Alternative Formula provides proper daily nutrition for Adult and Senior Parrots who are diet challenged, require lower protein and fat content (versus High Performance formula), have less active lifestyles, or who have protein sensitivities..... Show Details

Since Tropican incorporates vitamins and minerals, a vitamin supplement is not needed. The ingredients found in this new formula have been carefully selected to support birds that might have had issues with our current Lifetime and High Performance formulations, which have been tested for nearly 3 decades.

Many other tasty ingredients present in the Alternative Formula include pumpkin seeds, maple sugar, cranberries and sweet potato. The bentonite clay (montmorillonite) found within the Alternative Formula is effective and powerful in aiding Parrots who are diet challenged. Another special ingredient found is marigold, a source of lutein for the maintenance of good eye health, making this a great diet for senior parrots.

Tropican extruded granules break cleanly and do not explode into fine powder like pellets do, leading to significantly less wastage. Tropican morsels are hard and dense contributing to a healthier beak, which is essential to your bird's overall health.

Tropican has an outstanding 30+ year tradition of raising thousands of parrots over several generations at HARI. HARI continues its ongoing work on the research and development of advanced bird nutrition. In fact, HARI is the longest-standing research facility dedicated to studying the care and breeding of parrots.

The extruded 4 mm granules are sized to be eaten easily, and are recommended for Caiques, Pionus, Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos and African Greys.

Shipping

Petland ships within Canada, Monday through Friday (excluding statutory holidays). Orders made online after Friday at 11 am CDT will ship the following business day (subject to daily order volume and warehouse availability). When considering delivery times, please allow 1-2 business days to process your order after the order is placed. Courier delivery times do not include the day the order is picked up from our warehouse.

Petland will happily ship to your home and/or office. Normally, we use Canada Post, Purolator & Canpar for delivery. "Free Shipping" will usually be sent through Canpar Ground service or Purolator ground service. Canpar Ground & Purolator Ground services do not have guaranteed delivery times and the shipping times will only be estimates.

Changes to our shipping policy due to the Canada Post Labour Negotiations:

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a nationwide overtime ban for employees in both the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units. This is a legal strike action and means that CUPW-represented employees will refuse to work overtime across the company. As a result, Canada Post will continue operating but customers may experience delays.

We will continue to ship out orders using Canada Post if you have chosen this as your method of shipping.

We advise you to stay informed by checking Canada Post's website for updates.

As of August 01, 2025, Canada Post stated on their website that the majority of CUPW-represented employees reject Canada Post's final offers.

Corporation evaluating next steps following vote outcome

If the union issues a strike notice, all Canada Post operations will shut down. Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike, and some post offices will be closed. Service guarantees will be impacted for items already in the postal network. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.

All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible on a first-in, first-out basis once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Shutting down facilities across the country will affect Canada Post’s entire national network. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.

In the event that there is a Canada Post national work stoppage:

We will only be shipping through Canpar or Purolator. "Free Shipping" will be sent through Canpar Ground service or Purolator Ground service. Canpar Ground & Purolator Ground services do not have guaranteed delivery times, and the shipping times will only be estimates. If you are shipping the order to your business or workplace, please include the business name in the shipping address. Unfortunately, Canpar will not deliver to rural locations (see link further down).
Our website will still offer Canada Post shipping as an option. However, if you choose this method of shipping, it will not leave our warehouse until after the Canada Post strike is resolved.

If you are shipping the order to your business or workplace, please include the business name in the shipping address. Unfortunately, Canpar will not deliver to rural locations. For a complete list of these postal codes, click HERE
