i'm curious what everyones favorite vitamin drops are? i want to have a high quality vitamin drop (available in the states) that i could recommend to customers that wouldn't break the bank. my big birds are all on pellets + veggies, and my small birds are on bank-breaker vitamin drops imported from australia (robb marshalls ioford and dufoplus) + veggies. we have a lot of customers with their small birds (or even large birds) on a fairly simple seed diets (or even downright bad diets). while i can inform them until i go blue in the face, i think pointing them to a simple vitamin drop supplement would make it a lot easier for them to wrap their heads around, since it's a very simple change.

i'm only really familiar with the oasis vita-drops available at petco. i know versele laga has muta-vit and canto-vit, but those are high in vitamin e for the breeding season rather than a general mutlivitamin. am i overthinking this? :lol:

I like these ones for seed eaters as they have a satisfactory level of Vitamin D3.

I personally like the Hagen Prime one.

I am curious about this as well. My bird is an extremely picky eater and after exhausting much creativity and funds, I have not found one thing which she will eat other than the millet, which, I'm guessing is what she was raised on. I'm still trying to find ways to get her to try new things, but I'd like to have this handy.

When I was a new bird owner 11 years ago, I used Hagens Prime. I discovered pellets about 2 years later or so and then stopped using Hagens. My budgies always looked colorful and happy. Both died just last year, one was almost 10 1/2 and the other made it a little past 11 years old.
