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 way, the smell alone is enough for me to want to change him to something else.
I changed him for a few months to Lafeber pellets, (until it ran out and my mom picked me up a bag of Zupreem again!), and the smell seemed to stop completely. Also, I think his feathers improved. I switched him back to Zupreem to finish the new bag my mom picked up for him, but his poos smell and his feathers have developed black edges. Otherwise he seems fine and healthy. He eats a daily mix of veggies, legumes and ancient grains as well. He also gets almonds and fruits as treats.
just wondering if anyone had any favorite pellet brands or had the same experience with Zupreem that I have had.
Thanks in advance!
