I recently purchased some ZuPreem pellets for my loveys and it is one of the only kind of pellets that they will actually eat. Is this a recommended brand for full time basic meals?
That sounds about like Walter's diet. He is learning to eat more veggies and less seeds.I asked Zupreem how much of their recipe is sugar and they said less than 3%. So it really is a small amount and nowhere near the exaggerated claims people like to make.
My Jardine's eats a diet of 90% Zupreem FruitBlend. Is it my favorite pellet? No, but it is the one he will eat Fresh veggies and seeds should definitely be part of the diet for lovies!

I've been working with Ripley for 3 years now! We take it one day at a time. He's basically 90% pellets, 5% seed and 5% veggies. He was on 100% seed for 19 years before I got him!That sounds about like Walter's diet. He is learning to eat more veggies and less seeds.
That’s a lot of progress. Walter was about 60/40 pellets to seed and mostly fruits with some veggies but now we are about 85% pellets, 12% veggies and the rest in a small seed treat in the evening. The big thing is I have added variety to the seeds. My sunflower seed junky now gets 1 sunflower seed after his medicine. I am now trying to add a variety of grains and legumes such as lentils and quinoa.I've been working with Ripley for 3 years now! We take it one day at a time.

Thankyou for responding!Many have indicated that it is a little high in sugar but I use it with my 38 year old African Gray. He won't eat the other brands (although we are trying). I am still learning a lot about feeding birds the "new" way. When I first got Walter all that was available was the seed diet. The early pellets weren't much better but we have come a long way on understanding the nutritional needs of birds. I am sure some of the experts will fill you in on details.
Ah yea true! They seem to be liking these more than most I’ve triedMany here will say the best pellet is the one your bird will eat!
I started Preeno on Zupreem naturals and he currently eats mainly Mazuri mini bird.
