What pellet(s) are you feeding? (Summer 2022)

[Shezbug]

I’ll have to double check the pellet mix jar but I think at the moment we’re using a mix of Vetafarm two different types, Pretty bird, Harrison’s, zupreem and Trill for the two big guys.
I always feed vetafarm as the main pellets and add others for variety as Burt seems to like that and Birdie doesn’t mind too much either.
Squeak usually gets just the trill and vetafarm.

I couldn't remember the other pellet I see you mention.. Trill! Added that also

Michael has eaten Hagen for years and loves it.

My OWA gets mazuri pellets, fresh veggies, some small nuts and some fruit. He gets seeds as training treats

Riley gets Zupreem Naturals. I tried two different sizes and flavors of Harrison's but he doesn't seem to like them. The first couple of times I gave him the coarse size soaked in water he seemed to like it but then stopped eating it, so I think to may have hurt his tummy? Or he's just picky, who knows. Anyway, would like to diversify but haven't picked my back up option yet.

Supplemented with not-chop daily with a mix of veggies and a bite or two of fruit (he has a sweet tooth for sure). Bits of almond, safflower and sunflower seeds for training rewards.

TOPs, Harrisons and Zupreem.

 

[BirdyBee]

My birdies eat some TOPs with some homemade dry mix(currently out of that right now!). And then they get their daily veggies, fruit every now and then, and some seeds before bedtime

Pam Clark has totally switched Erwin's diet. I was starting with the junk seed he was on and slowing switching to Zupreem. She didn't think that was a good course of action.

Now we have five bowls in Erwin's cage. One for junk seed and crumbled Nutriberries. One for water. One for chop. One for crumble Avicakes. One for Roudybush. The idea is he will start eating more Nutriberries, Avicakes, and Roudybush when the junk seed is slowly removed and more Nutriberries added. He will also be easier to target train when junk seed is removed. She reminded us that Nutriberries and Avicakes are a complete meal, not just treats.

Pam did not recommend TOPs or Psittacus. She likes Harrison's but has noticed cockatiels are more likely to eat Roudybush than Harrison's.

I think Quarter actually likes his Vetafarm more than his Passwell, even though he has only started eating Vetafarm recently.

I give my Senegal Tropican but with really small success. I would like to try zupreem fruity but for some reasons it is not available in europe apparently.

I was told by a UK supplier Zupreem fruity is no longer available in Europe as it contains a ingredient that has been banned by the EU.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! Did they say which ingredient?

Mojo and KiKi are both eating a mix of Harrisons pepper,Roudybush daily maintenance small and medium and pretty bird daily maintenance medium.

I had some issues earlier in getting hold of Roudybush so feel more comfortable with them getting a variety in case it happens again.

Unfortunately not i did e mail and ask but they couldnt confirm for me.

Did she say why she didn't like Psittacus?

For Ripley I wish Nutriberries were a full diet He only eats the safflower seeds and leaves the rest. I weighed his before and after bowls and he as wasting over 90% of the food! So sadly it didn't work for him.

To paraphrase, she said it was a faddy food company and that there is no real species-to-species differentiation of avaian food studies and that the fat content was too high.

@Zara

I am not even surprised

Good to know Part of the reason I'm feeding it is because of the higher fat content

My guess would be one of the artificial colors?

 

[Tyrion]

My guys are fed a small amount of Tops mixed in with their homemade seed diet plus fresh whole foods
