Finnish translation:kivennäisrehu eksoottisille linnuille
Explanation:
I would also change "hehkutusjäännös" to "tuhka", I see it used more in ingredients lists. I own parakeets, so the topic is intimately familiar to me.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Problem is that I have to follow European regulations and it is in fact "crude ash" and not "ash" in English. Thank you for your feedback though. 5. | Without affecting the analytical methods, for pet food the expression ‘crude protein’ may be replaced by ‘protein’, ‘crude oils and fats’ may be replaced by ‘fat content’ and ‘crude ash’ may be replaced by ‘incinerated residue’ or ‘inorganic matter’. 5. | Ilmaisu ”raakavalkuainen” voidaan lemmikkieläinten ruuan osalta korvata ilmaisulla ”valkuainen”, ”raakarasva” voidaan korvata ilmaisulla ”rasvapitoisuus” ja ”tuhka” voidaan korvata ilmaisulla ”hehkutusjäännös” tai ”epäorgaaninen aines”, sanotun kuitenkaan vaikuttamatta määritysmenetelmiin.
