Zupreem Avianbreeder Fruitblend - Parrots & Conures - 40 Lbs
As a vet tech of 22 yrs and a laboratory animal technologist of 7 yrs, and having a certificate in animal nutrition, I cannot stress the importance of the pelleted diet for birds. Most birds will pick out the high fat oil seeds that taste better and ignore or toss out the other seeds and dried fruits/veggies in seed based diets, when they do this they will give themselves ugly plummage and scaley feet, and beaks due to dietary imbalances. When an avian diet is pelleted, all the necessary elements of the ideal diet are ground together in such a way that each bite of food gives the animal complete nutrition. This diet is colorful and fruit flavored (looks like Trix cereal, kinda smells like it too..)my bird loves this diet. Funny, even when he (he is a sulfer crested cockatoo)decides he hates all the purple ones today, the red tomorrow and so on, no matter his mental issues, I dont worry about him going without proper balanced nutrition. His plummage and skin/beak are amazing. I have transitioned several seed diet eating birds for friends/coworkers/clients to this food (it comes in a variety of sizes for various sized hookbills) and have improved the color and quality of skin and feathers. I buy the giant bag on amazon as it is not avail in pet stores, even with the shipping, it is far more cost effective when purchased this way. If you choose to do this, when your bag arrives, divide the entire bag into multiple gallon size ziplock bags and date the bags. Store in freezer to retain freshness, vitamins and ideal nutrition.
