Pellets Hookbills, Small, Medium and Large Parrots - Non-GMO, Peanut Soy & Corn Free, USDA Organic Certified - 4 lb / 1.81 kg

So I didn't know what size to get initially bc this is listed for large parrots, but my senegal likes to hold her food to eat it, and the small (really medium in the line I think) seemed possibly too small to do that for her. This was for sure a good decision. To preface, my bird may be the grumpiest bird I have ever seen in my life whose #1 pastime is ruining my life and laughing about it (its more of an evil cackle honestly). She is incredibly picky on another level, and its been harrowing trying to switch her to a healthier pellet over the years from the rainbow zupreem she's been eating since weaning 9 years ago. Recently though, I was looking over zupreems ingredient list, and its literally corn, soy meal, and freaking sugar!!! Why is sugar even an ingredient in there???? Anyways my senegal, who once stole a bite of my yogurt 7 years ago, and has since decided I am trying to poison her with new foods, watched me put some Tops into her breakfast bowl the morning we got it, proceeded to scream complain at me about it/growl, but then ate every tops pellet and not a single zupreem. I literally cannot believe it. It can take months to get her to take a single tongue lick of a new food and she just ate this stuff immediately and has had it for breakfast and dinner since (about 3 meals so far). I'm just in shock... I tried to give this hell spawn Harrisons for years on advice of seemingly all bird people and she refused to eat it opting at points to go on food strikes instead of just trying a new pellet for literal survival... I once watched her pick a turd off a perch instead of tasting a single Harrisons pellet again. These Tops pellets smell really good too which makes me wonder if that in part had to do with her trying it immediately. I also made sure to tell her NOT to touch them to ensure she would at least go near them in an effort to annoy me (definitely worked, she ate them while staring at me). I did put most of them into a zip lock to put in the freezer to keep fresh.... this pellet is unbelievably promising. If you also own a spawn of hell, this pellet is really worth giving a shot. I don't know if this will help her hateful personality, but I do think it's likely to keep her screaming at me for years to come. The best advice I ever got, albeit later than I'd like to admit, was looking at the ingredient list on my birds pellets, and if your bird eats rainbow zupreem, wow that stuff is trash, but apparently tops is more tasty thank God! My bird also eats too many nutriberries for treats than I should probably be giving her, and I now believe this is contributing to very hormonal behaviour based on what I've researched lately and heard from countless bird owners, so we are attempting to overhaul her entire diet for something much healthier and mood stabalizing. I've heard so many good things about people switching diets to a Tops and veggies only diet who have hormonal, feather plucking, and even egg laying birds. My senegal ate all of her Tops so fast this morning, she had an extra 10 minutes more to do the smoke alarm at real volume, so I am incredibly optimistic about new diet changes for the first time ever after countless attempts. Photos are of 1. the bane of my existence who is runt sized compared to standard Senegals, and 2. the large pellets in my hand for scale next to the African Grey sized rainbow zupreem pellets. Also 3. Tops in a zip lock (most of the 1lb bag I purchased to try fits in a ziplock sandwich bag. I have ab 2/3 cup or so left in original bag).

Good

My Gray like others are extremely picky and messy eaters. He actually eats some of these. I add them to his vegetables and he will eat some of these. I chose this brand of pellets because of the ingredients. There are no fillers like corn, artificial colors, sweeteners ect. Just plain good and healthy ingredients. A little pricy but worth it. The pellets do go a long ways. I use a couple of small teaspoons at a time. Just read the ingredients on the package or in the ad page on Amazon and you will see why I picked these pellets. Much better than other brands.

I love this product. Good nutrition, size and easy to use. Good value for money.

seems to be quality feed, birds don't seem to excited about it

I absolutely LOVE these pellets for my weaning babies. I will not use any other pellet as I raise many Eclectus who are SUPER sensitive to any artificial anything. Most pelleted diets out there (even those toted as organic and vet recommended) have artificial vitamins/minerals, which Eclectus cannot handle. I do not believe that pellets are a full "complete" diet and use them only for supplementation. That said, let me inform those interested in this formula of a few things. First, it should be considered the "health food" of parrot pellets. It smells akin to alfalfa, and is very natural. Other pellets, such as Zupreem, LaFaebers, Kaytee, should be considered the "fast food" of the pellet world. Others such as Hagan, Harrison's, and Roudybush are better, but still contain artificial vitamins/minerals. For most birds, those are OK. Not for Eclectus. Being that these pellets are natural and free of ANYTHING artificial, many parrots on a "junk food diet" will not find these pellets palatable. It will take MONTHS, if not a year, for your bird to transition in most cases. My babies know nothing else and therefore eat it readily. You must be willing to have patience and dedication, and yes, you will lose money and your bird will waste food. But, there are MANY methods you can try to get your bird transitioned. It comes down to your patience level. Think of it this way. A child is given an option between broccoli or candy. What do you think they will choose? Parrots are not much different. Also, birds really do not have taste buds in the way that we do. Therefore, it does not come down to the taste as much as it does the shape, size, color and familiarity. Birds over a year of age will be leery of any new food and can take weeks or months of seeing it before they feel it is "safe" to try. If they tried anything they came across in the wild that appeared to be edible, chances are that many parrots would die from poisoning. What many people forget is that parrots are not domesticated, and thus retain all their natural instincts. All this said, give it time! And that can be anywhere from days for some birds to weeks, months, or over a year. But once you get there, the effort is worth the payoff. The difference in plumage, behavior, and energy becomes very apparent.

I thought i was getting the 4 lb bag but instead I received the 1 lb bag. I had to reorder due to my last bag being damaged.

Lily is a picky eater. That’s putting it mildly. She flings everything out of the seed mix except sunflower seeds and cashews. I never had success with pellets until today! I selected these because they crumble and she likes that texture. She loved it! She even ate the crumbs that fell onto the collection tray, which she doesn’t even do with the cashews! I recommend these pellets because it has the nutrients needed for these type of cockatoos. Lily is a Bare Eyed Cockatoo- 5yrs old.

我が家のインコの１番のお気に入りでAmazonで定期購入していましたが、コロナ禍に入りとんでもない価格になりしばらく店舗に買いに行ったりしてなんとかしていました。 ふと見るとコロナ禍前くらいに戻ってる！早速ポチりました。 想像通りデカすぎましたが、我が家のインコはこのメーカーに関しては全て粉々にして食べるのが気持ち良いのか？好きみたいなので、1番やすいサイズで購入。助かります。

Only just started giving my parrot this food, but she is eating it so hopefully she likes it

Bird loves it. Only down side it crumbles really easy compared to other pellets.

Excellent 👍

素晴らしい商品をありがとうございました。これからもよろしくお願いします。
