What food do you guys use/recommend for African Grey? This is food to go along with all the fresh food.
My boy is approximately 7 years old. Sadly I didn't know better and fed him bad foods for some time. He was on Pretty Bird Daily Select (he didn't care for them, I also dont care for them) and just mixed seeds.
I've tried Roudybush and Roudybush California blend he wasn't a big fan of either.
I've looked at a few post didn't really find any just about African Grey and pellets but did find a lot of different pellets recommended for other types of birds.
#1: Harrison.
I've seen some say high potency was bad but there site recommends high potency for greys. So whats better High Potency Coarse or Adult Lifetime Coarse. $19 a 1lb(453.592g) bag 15-30g a day. So 15-30 feedings in a bag. .40-.80 a feeding price doesn't really sound high like others say it is. His seed seems to cost more a feeding.
#2: TOP's
$14 1lb. No idea on how much to use a feeding or there for price a feeding/quantity of feedings per bag.
#3: Higgins intune natural.
Not sure about it but i've been feeding him there Vita Seed California Blend. Thinking about there Mayan Harvest Celestial or Safflower Gold.
#4: Zupreem.
Seen some same Zupreem Natural is good. Looks like it would be the Parrots & Conures size. Opinions on this for a Grey? $17 for 3lb. 1/2 cup a day(don't know the weight to 1/2 cup of there pellets to do the math).
#5: Lafebers
Read that fruit avicakes are better then the pellets? Also as he only has one foot I'm not so sure how easly he could eat these.
#3 leads me to a 2nd question on best seed mixes
What would be the best seed mix? The ones I know of are:
Higgins Vita Seed California Blend (using now)
Higgins Mayan Harvest Celestial
Higgins Safflower Gold
Also saw mysafebirdstore from a few post I read and there seed mix. Bountiful Harvest vs Bountiful Harvest Plus
