Higgins466146 Bird Food Formula, One Size

My wife is such a good shopper that when she knew that I wanted an African Grey parrot, she went out and bought me one. Unfortunately someone talked her into a Timneh African Grey instead of the Congo African Grey that I wanted. But I graciously accepted the gift and named HIM Socrates. We expected a lot of mimicry out of HIM and therefore a wise name seemed fitting.I believe that it was three years of age that Socrates laid HER first egg. Not only did my wife get me the wrong species, she bought a female instead of what the pet shop owner said was a male. We've had a few eggs since then and always watch her to make sure that she doesn't get egg bound.Our primary diet for her has been various configurations of the LaFeber's Nutri-Berries. She has done extremely well on these as far as nutrition but we noticed that she was ignoring her toys and seeming to stay out of sight a lot. My research showed me that parrots spend the vast majority of their time in the wild foraging for food. Since a captive bird has their meals pretty much served to them, it seemed logical that I add more items to her food bowl to make her search out the food she wanted to eat.The Vita Seed California Blend for Parrots seemed to be one of the more nutritionally sound seed diets available. Now when we feed her, we use the LaFeber Nutri-Berries combined with a scoop of the Vita Seed food along with a few peanuts and corn. She also gets a daily mixture of cooked peas, green beans, red apple, grapes, and a bit of cooked pasta.These birds need to be challenged and kept busy, so look at your cage environment and see if there is something that you can add to it to engage their energy and attention. Your bird will be happier for it.

I own two African Greys and one Moluccan Cockatoo, and they are picky eaters. They normally get a high quality pelleted feed and a handful of sunflower seeds or cashews daily along with their fresh fruit and veggies, but there are days when they leave just about everything scattered on the floor of their cages. Someone recommended this seed mix to me and I had to really hunt for a place to purchase it. I was glad to finally find it on Amazon, and hopeful that it would appeal to my crew. To my amazement, they LOVED it. They each get a scoopful daily and consume every last bit. All three birds are thriving and can't wait for their morning serving. The mix is quite varied and is a complete feed, though I still provide the fruits and veggies. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, DHA and all the vitamins and minerals that they need. I don't work for the company, so I'm not selling this for their benefit, just a very satisfied customer happy with a high quality product.

One of Higgins best products. Have purchased many times. My Parrots love it.

The birds love this and I was excited to find a blend without sunflower seeds. This makes a great foraging addition to their pellet diet.

I ordered the Higgins California Blend and the Zupreem pellets.I am very pleased as my order came in 3 days.It has a expiration of June 2023. Yes, I will order again! I used to purchase Sweet Harvest without the Sunflower seeds but they included peanuts.Peanuts and Sunflowers seeds are not healthy for parrots.I will be buying Higgins California Blend from now on.I was a previous Sweet Harvest Customer for over 15 years and made the switch.My baby love the California blend mixed with the Zupreem pellets.

My bird has good taste in food. Some things he doesn't like and throws it out of his dish. Not so with this food! I'm happy when he his -- so I am very happy!

Used for my African gray parrots. They love this food. Had plenty of nuts and seeds for them to choose from and mine always eat almost all of it with hardly any waist. I love this food for them and will continue to order.

There is more unhealthy sunflower seeds than there are other healthy seeds. I don’t know about other types of parrots or macaws but our veterinarian took our African grey off of sunflower seeds completely because it was a contributing factor to her developing scissor beak.
