    Any opinions on Psittacus pellets?

    Been thinking of getting them, since they are one of the few pellets offered on amazon in germany that are in my price range, without having to import them from america (which takes days sometimes). Has anyone tried them yet? Any opinions...

    Now a big proponent of pellets

    Hey all, I see a lot of discussion about pellets and their efficacy as a staple diet item. I am here to make a gentle case for them along with some anecdotal and scientific evidence to back up my claims. What spawned this post was 1) the general back and forth and confusion I see about parrot...

    'Tiel & Budgie Diet

    I'm wondering if a mix (in all equal parts) of Zupreem Natural Pellets, Harrison's Adult Lifetime, Dr. Harvey's Colossal Cockatiel Blend, and Top's Parrot pellets is a healthy well rounded diet for my cockatiels and budgie to eat? Of course they will still get fresh fruits and veggies as well as...

    Harrison's pellets changes from batch to batch?!?

    I just opened a new bag of Harrison's pellets that I just bought from the vet and I noticed that the colour is lighter than usual, the pellets are smaller and the shape of them is a lot more square.... I am glad my bird didn't notice anything and still ate his pellets or I'll be in big trouble...

    Is it safe to feed your bird colored pellets?

    I’m getting a macaw and I was searching through food options, i came across a brand that sells colored pellets. I did further research on the product and it says the colorants are natural (chlorophyll, for example) and that it doesn’t contain agrochemicals. Would it be safe to feed (with a well...

    Foods similar to Harrison's?

    My two cockatiels' favorite food is Harrison's extra fine, they love it and there's no wasted food. Unfortunately, it's a little difficult to get my hands on right now so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for foods with a similar texture? I've tried roudybush, they eat it but the...

    Lovebird not eating enough?

    I am a bit concerned about my lovebirds eating habits. She is currently on pellets and chop and gets millet everyday as a training treat. However, she only eats around 1/2 tablespoon of pellets. From what I’ve heard most people give their lovebirds 1-2 tablespoons a day. However, she’s been...

    Hello, I have a 6-month-old female cockatiel! I am trying to get her to eat pellets and hopefully switch her diet to a well-balanced one. I've tried to do more seed and slowly go into pellets but she just picks the seeds right out. I tried to crush up the pellets w/ water and kind of make...

    Pellet Opinions?

    What brands do you feed your conures? I have been feeding my green cheek Zupreem (dye-free) pellets, but I’ve noticed that when he eats these his droppings have a sour smell, and his feathers seem to develop black spots (not entirely sure it’s due to the food or something else though). Either...

We’re progressing quickly with the trust building. She will step onto my hand when I offer it and she likes hanging out under my hoodie. She’s...

    I feed my conure the RoudyBush California Blend bird food as that what he was already eating when I got him and his previous owners said to keep him on it.

    Cockatiel eats everything!

    So I got Plato this Wednesday and everything is going amazingly well. Since Socrates already came sick I never really experienced what was having a real cockatiel. Plato seems very healthy, he's very active and loved the toys I gave him right away. Within two days he was practically fully...
