There's no such thing as senior food. You either feed nutritious healthy food or you don't. Requirements do not change (except maybe a little less). There is no need to change their diet. Especially if they are picky and won't eat it.

It's a marketing ploy to relieve you of a few extra pennies.

Somewhat true, but I do know for cats and dogs they tend to make the senior food not as hard and easier to chew for their teeth. For the Roudybush parrot senior diet it does say that the calcium content is much higher which makes sense. Like us, our bones get weak over time when we age.
