My birds transitioned to these pellets from seed fairly quickly. I put about 2lbs of pellets in bags and freeze then to maintain freshness Review: My cockatiels love this! - I've tried a few foods for my cockatiels, mostly mixes of seeds and pellets, as well as one that was just pellets. The birds always avoided the pellets in the mixes, and weren't too keen on the pellets-only, whatever brand it was. This one, though, they love. The bag is huge for just two birds, but it's a good value. I'll stick some in the freezer to keep it fresh. ## Features - Complete and balanced nutrition with essential vitamins and minerals in every veggie flavored nugget - Highly palatable, highly digestible diet for cockatiels, lovebirds, Senegals, Meyer's parrots, caiques, small conures, Jardine's parrots, and other small parrots ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002AQLKQ | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Barley, Celery, Oat | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,465 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #568 in Bird Food | | Brand | ZuPreem | | Brand Name | ZuPreem | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 159 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Vegetable | | Item Form | Dry | | Item Height | 65 centimeters | | Item Weight | 9070 Grams | | Manufacturer | Premium Nutritional Products, Inc. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Special Ingredients | Vitamin E | | Specific Uses For Product | Staple food | | UPC | 062177925005 762177925004 | | Unit Count | 320.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZuPreem - **Flavor:** Vegetable - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Item Form:** Dry - **Specific Uses For Product:** Everyday Feeding for Medium Birds ## Images ![ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41vElSzloxL.jpg) ![ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YDd2UVeDL.jpg) ![ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710TzoKCBEL.jpg) ![ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KF6fUp8cL.jpg) ![ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A2CIX+A3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I feed these to my eclectus? The size is more suitable, she tosses her mediums out to much.** A: I feed to my african grey for the very same reason. Try a smallish bag and see. Some birds throw out small food less, some shovel it out like sand. I like the natural better than fruit because at least they don't pick around the yellow bananas. **Q: The image for this product shows the 3lb bag, but the description is for the 20lb bag. Is this in fact the 20lb bag?** A: Yes, that is the 20lb bag price ($42). The description below shows the shipping weight. Usually a 20 lb bag is around $45-$60 depending on where you buy it online. 3lbs bags are around $12 for Zupreem. the 20 lbs bag is DEFINITELY a better deal. **Q: Hello, what is the expiration date?** A: I've never seen a product without a expiration date. Check the bag before purchasing. **Q: The picture has a cockatoo but the description states this is medium pellet for cockatiels etc. which size are the pellets, medium or large?** A: This is the "medium" size which my Little Corella/bare eye and Rose Breasted/Galah likes and I also feed to my Congo African Grey, Nanday and Alexandrine. Pellets are too small for my Moluccans to grasp, but they didn't care for the big pellets of this brand. I use the med lg fruit falvored Zupreem and it's popular with all 8 of my birds (Having run out of the only brand of food I used to feed became a crisis one too many times and now everyone eats a blend of three pellets except the Corella who ONLY eats these Zupreem natural pellets). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My birds love this food *by K***Y on November 28, 2025* A great food for birds as a part of a well balanced diet. My birds transitioned to these pellets from seed fairly quickly. I put about 2lbs of pellets in bags and freeze then to maintain freshness ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My cockatiels love this! *by K***R on August 9, 2021* I've tried a few foods for my cockatiels, mostly mixes of seeds and pellets, as well as one that was just pellets. The birds always avoided the pellets in the mixes, and weren't too keen on the pellets-only, whatever brand it was. This one, though, they love. The bag is huge for just two birds, but it's a good value. I'll stick some in the freezer to keep it fresh. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wish I had transitioned to the natural earlier. So much better than the Zupreem fruit blend. *by L***R on March 1, 2025* I absolutely love this product. I had been feeding all of my birds the zupreem fruit flavored pellets, but they would always leave the banana ones (or throw them onto the ground) so I bought this instead to minimize waste. I mixed it half/half at first until I was out of the fruit blend, then they transitioned to this just fine. Added bonus - I did not realize how much the red fruit zupreem colored their poop. Poop is so much less gross now. I wish I had transitioned to the natural earlier. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural Bird Diet for Cockatiels - ZuPreem FruitBlend Flavor Pellets Bird Food for Parrots and Conures, 35 lb - Daily Blend Made in USA for Caiques, African Greys, Senegals, Amazons, Eclectus, Small Cockatoos - ZuPreem FruitBlend Flavor Pellets Bird Food for Large Birds - Daily Blend for Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos - 3.5 lb --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13493991-zupreem-avianmaintenance-natural-bird-diet-for-cockatiels](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13493991-zupreem-avianmaintenance-natural-bird-diet-for-cockatiels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
