ABBA 1400 for African Greys, Conures & Senegals

Medium parrots like African greys, conures, and Senegals are active, intelligent, and particular about food. ABBA 1400 is a long-standing seed blend built for exactly these birds. Here's what's in it and how to use it.

What is ABBA 1400?

ABBA 1400 ($30.39, 5 lb) is a premium seed blend for African greys, conures, and Senegal parrots. It packs safflower seeds, sunflower, cracked corn, oats, peanuts, millet, papaya, sorghum, and soy nuts, a varied mix that delivers protein, fats, and carbohydrates along with ABBA's added vitamins and minerals.

Who it's for

It's formulated for medium parrots. African greys in particular are intelligent foragers that appreciate variety and texture, and the mixed nuts, fruit, and seed in the 1400 give them something to work through. Conures and Senegals in the same size range do well on it too.

Why it works for these birds

• Protein and variety. Nuts and seeds provide the protein and energy active parrots use, while papaya adds variety.
• Fortified and balanced. ABBA adds vitamins and minerals in usable proportions, not as an afterthought.
• Low waste, vacuum-packed. Birds eat most of the blend, and sealed bags keep it fresh.

How to feed it well

A seed blend like the 1400 is a strong base, but greys especially are prone to calcium issues, so don't stop at seed:

• Offer fresh vegetables and limited fruit daily.
• Keep a calcium source available, greys benefit from a constant cuttlebone. Read why birds need calcium for the full picture.
• Watch the sunflower and peanut portions if your bird tends toward weight gain, and talk to an avian vet about the right balance.

FAQ

Is ABBA 1400 enough on its own? It's a high-quality base diet, but pair it with fresh produce and calcium for a complete plan. Some owners also offer pellets alongside.

My grey is a picky eater. Will it help? The variety of textures in the 1400 often appeals to greys, and ABBA's low-waste reputation means less gets left behind.
