Could not find small Tropican.on the net for US. Harrisons is sold here in extra fine which I feed. The small size choked my budgies. Thanks for the info Zara
Thank you for the info!The Hagen Alternative is about the size of Zupreem Cockatiel.
Thanks for that. I wonder if the smaller sizes are more expensive for the companies to make? Maybe that is why Goldenfeast dropped the small beak size. It was just perfect.
Ohhh so the CS went down with the Goldn’obles III after the buyoutOh no Goldenfeast did not get back to me. They used to answer the phone!!
I just saw that Volkmann's is all seed, so weird! Might be something to mix a little in with their pellets. It's so odd that Volkmann doesn't have their pellets on their site.Hmm, didn't realize that Volkman sold their pellets separately! I've only seen them in their seed mixes until now. I've never had a bird actually eat then from the mix...
From what I found, as they don't have the pellets listed on the Volkman website, here are the ingredients:
Corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, soybean oil, DL-methionine, maltodextrin, choline chloride, natural and artificial flavors, L-lysine, dicalcium phosphate, magnedium oxide, betaine anhydrous, silicon dioxide, vitamin E supplement, ascorbic acid, manganous oxide, preserved with BHT, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, niacinamide, yucca schidigera extract, copper sulfate, calcium pantothenate, sodium selenite, mineral oil, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin A acetate, calcium iodate, riboflavin, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, natural and artificial colors, cobalt sulfate, folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement.

All the things you don't want in a bird food. Volkmans makes a pretty good seed product but I stick with Goldenfeast so far on seed.Corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, soybean oil
@iamwhoiam I cannot see the size Caitec OFB are from a photo. Wish they would show the food out of the bag.

I just read on another freeze dried bird food site that supplements for Vit. A and Vit D3 is suspected to be behind much of a birds compromised cardiac issues if they have them. Have no idea how true this is. It was in an e mail the owner of this company to me.
@Mizzely Here is part of that email and she describes natural Vit D3 in food products for birds.
Yes we use natural ingredients to insert Vitamin D3. In addition we use Suntrex D3 which is a naturally plant-derived form of Vitamin D3.
We do not use synthetic vitamins because they are isolated molecules that are not well-processed and absorbed by living bodies. Also,
synthetic Vitamins A, D, E and K can be very damaging to the liver and the cardiovascular system, especially if they are not given or absorbed
correctly. This is one reason why so many birds now suffer from liver and cardio damage.
What do you all think?
