What fun! I actually did this last year too before Kylo came home, but I don't know what I did with all my "data" other than what I remember, who was most generous, etc. Excited to what the companies send you compared to me.:tup:

Good infor for every bird lover. My new budgie's breeder makes his own bird food for his babies and its 100% organic ingredients. He is giving me a 4 pound bag along with educational materials and I think a toy. He is amazing! I will have so much food for a little birdie!

Caitec: took 4 days from request to get sample, and they gave me:

4 oz Oven Fresh Medium Parrot pellets
2 oz Veggie Delight Birdie Munchies
2 oz Tropi-Fruit Melody Birdie Munchies
2 oz Cran-Blueberry Birdie Munchies

The munchies are about 6 of their snack muffins each, so a good assortment of food!
