Lol....thanks... I've had people actually see my pantry and quote... " geez you have more stuff for your birds than I do for my whole family".
I even have a separate fridge in pantry just for mostly bird stuff... And what ever I can't fit in other fridge.
I actually believe in a variety for my birds. Works well for me. That way they don't get burnt out of same things all the time. My wife and I can our own stuff, veggies and fruit from yard... My wife has a massive herb garden where we harvest and store suitable herbs and flowers for birds.
Can't wait for spring as I'm beginning to get low on the stuff.

I feed Caitec Oven Fresh Bites as the staple and offer Zupreem Natural (which I prefer to soak) or Harrison's Pepper. I've offered both Goldenobles and TOPs, but my birds have turned their beaks up multiple times. I agree with @Nikomania : TOPs seems like a rabbit pellet to me.
A pellet only has value when a parrot ingests it.

It was a no go with the caitec here.. not one would like it even when I made goodies with it crushed in. Thinking I need to expand my own diet and add a few crunchy treats in... but I think the pellets and caitec nuggets would be hard on my teeth if I don't soak them first. Not brave enough to eat them quite yet. Not when there's a tasty blueberry muffin in the house!

I like tops and it will remain a regular staple for us-but I feed a large variety of pellets. I guess there are more brands I like, than don't like. I don't care for pretty bird, kaytee and a few rando others that I can't think up off the top of my head. I prefer brands that have a history of researching the needs for exotics and a longer history of feeding exotics. Also, I like brands that specialize in avian nutrition. I also prefer a more natural type pellet, however, I'm not opposed to some fruity zupreem now and then.

Haven't tried Tops but Lurch really liked the Harrison samples we were sent when I requested them. Petco now carries Harrison's so we may try it to go with the Zupreem he seems to really like. Of course Dobby likes a lot of things that he shouldn't have, like soap so maybe he's not a good example...

Buddy wilk not eat TOPS no way! no how! If I try to add it to sprouts or warm food he will reject all of it. Then if I try to feed it to him again (sprouts or warm) he'll more than likely reject food again, even if there are no pellets the 2nd time.

Usually not
They won't eat TOPS or Roudybush though. I'm pretty sure it's the alfalfa. They throw them in their litter box!

Never in a million years would I have thought of alfalfa in a bird pellet. Remember when Roudybush pellets took a turn towards the more green side? My birds ate them before that change but wouldn't eat them after the change. Seems they decreased the alfalfa in those and now every body is happy again with Roudybush.Usually not

I'm surprised... Chewy sells Tops now. Might have been for a while but I haven't looked at Chewy for some time.

They are really kind and helpful, and did ask me if their was something I missed, so I suggested Roudybosh fir them.

Wow. All my budgies have been eating the Top's since day one. But now it's in a different dish in a different place and Angel is literally swimming in them. She spent the past hour rolling in them and eating them. She's refusing millet for the Top's. I don't mind, she can eat as much as she wants, I'm just going to have to set up another dish for the others.

You have a TPA (Top's Pellets Addict) in your house.
Get some help for her, before it's to late. Hurry!
I've had a few budgies wierd out over certain foods. The most memorable was a grey male who used to do loops on string beans. I have video evidence somewhere.OMG!
