Would it interest you to be given the opportunity to create your own mix of parrot food from a list of fresh ingredients such as fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables? There would be a per lb charge for this product and you would be able to pick xx amount of ingredients.

I meant to make this to where you could vote on more than one thing, but I think I forgot to check that box, if a mod could help with that I would love it! (I'm such a dunce lol)

Sure I think it would be super neat to be able to do :)

I think cost is my only concern, if it would be reasonable I would buy it.

One reason I'm doing the poll Kristy! So I can figure out the best way to make it cost effective for everyone.

I would love to be able to do this, am so tired of having to pick through what I buy and remove things before feeding it to the fids,

at least it is not wasted, my outside crew and the squirrels and wild birds are not as picky!

Our wild birds and rabbits get fat from all of the leftovers my birds don't eat.

I make my own here, it is a little pricey but worth it in my opinion. Heres the recipe.

4 cups of these mixed Dried Cantalope, Sunflower, and Pumpkin Seeds
3 cups of steel cut oats
2 cups of Whole Wheat Berries
2 Cups of each...coconut, pine nuts, chopped walnuts, and almonds
6 cups of dried and cut up fruits...pinapple, mango, apple, banana, and rasins
4 cups of dried vegetable mix- beans, peas, and carrot
1 cup dried corn for color
1 Cup oat circles (like cheerios)
1 cup Musilix (sp)

Thanks for the input! I'm going to work on a price. I will start with some ingredients and then possibly add more later. Have to start out with things I know mine will eat lol so I don't lose money having something that doesn't sell well. If you know what you would like to have then please PM me.
