ZuPreem VeggieBlend Bird Food, Bird Feed Pellets for Parrots, Conures, Caiques, African Greys, Eclectus & Small Cockatoos, Parrot Food, Conure Diet, Made in USA, (Medium/Large, 3.25 lb)

My Green Cheek loves this food! Some of the pieces are a bit big (orange discs and green elongated pellets), so she tends to drop them every now and then. Not a big deal because of the price/amount ratio. She definitely prefers for the food to be soft, so I just add a layer of water to the bowl and let the food absorb the water before placing the bowl in her cage. I do this to all of her food, except for seeds. My wife recently tried to give our bird different food (she didn't think the bird would mind and the food was on sale) and she refused to eat it, so I gave her the Zupreem brand and she was once again very happy. This brand is excellent and adequately priced. I will continue to buy Zupreem brand bird food. I've had great success with the vegetable, fruit and nut blend. I have yet to try the natural blend. I recommend that you soften the food with water, even the smaller sized ones like the fruit blend, if you have a smaller bird. Our Green Cheek definitely agrees. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

My Cockatoo loved this bring back!

Our Moluccan Cockatoo love the parrot food. It is a very good food for him.

Yet I keep feeding it to my 11 yo cockatoo Woodstock Archamedes Wagstaff ..aka "Woody, Birdbrain, Woodbrain, Birdzilla, Woodzilla, Destructo Chicken and SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Because I know as a long time bird owner, moderate avian "expert" (25 year vet tech with a lot of emphasis on birds as a hobby) and holder of a certificate outside of formal education as a vet tech, (animal nutrition/Registered Lab Animal Technologist) that PELLETED FOOD is always the way to go..that way the birdbrains canNOT pick out the high fat content oil seeds that taste better than the stuff that the animal NEEDS to maintain a healthy immune system...(not to mention radiant plumage...oil seed fed birds are unhealthy looking on skin..its flakey...and feathers look like the bird just came out of the dryer..while white casings cover the feathers.) Bird people of amazon and the world: HEAD MY WARNINGS...SEED DIETS RUIN BIRD HEALTH..AND BIRDS ARE DESIGNED BY NATURE TO SHOW NO SIGNS OF ILL HEALTH UNTIL ITS TOO LATE....THIS WAY THEY WONT BE PICKED OFF OUT OF THE FLOCK BY PREDATORS OR HEALTHIER STRONGER BIRDS FIGHTING FOR MATING PRIVILEGES WITH FEMALES IN THE WILD. By the time clients would come into our ER with sickly or dying birds..IT WAS TOO LATE!! Protect your birds health!!! Feed well, always try and offer even if they reject repeatedly HEALTHY fresh food, change water am/pm and take at least every 12 months if not every 6 mos for check ups that should include no less than routine blood work and fecal tests to rule out and DETECT EARLY parasites and illnesses! I buy this stuff along with all other formulas in same size bag (the fruit, the nut and the veggie blend) and mix in a huge apothecary jar I keep on my kitchen counter..the smell is amazing...the taste and colors appeal to my horrible brat. Dont overfeed...if you have a bird like my holy terror Woody..who looks at it and when bored and wants attention, chooses his LEAST favorite flavor/color..which changes daily/weekly) and TOSSES it out of the cage to watch my min pin dogs gobble it up or worse yet, to the bottom of the floor..consider these two things...1.) only put enough food in two times a day to cover the BOTTOM of the bowl...if he throws it out...DONT immediately refill..this stuff is expensive..instead..allow the bird to forage...my cockatoo amuses himself and does in his cage what he would do in the wild...hmmm.....im hungry...yet my bowl is empty and no one is around....I shall go hunt for food...hey LOOK!! This one I can reach on the bottom of the cage through the grate and DOESNT have poop on it!!! keep safe shavings and fecal matter will stick to it and the grate and not food. We spend a LOT of money on foraging toys but few of us actually force the issue of natural foraging. 2.) If your brat likes to throw this food out of the cage JUST to feed it to your dogs and literally LAUGH at them while doing it...take the bowl away until a later time...heavy free choice feeding in expensive pelleted diets can make a well meaning pet owner go broke!! KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA THAT THIS ONLY WORKS WHERE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO POSSIBILITY OF ALL OR MOST OF FOOD BEING COVERED IN FECAL MATTER. IT WILL NOT HURT YOUR BIRD IF HE/SHE ACCIDENTALLY INGESTS TINY PORTIONS ROUTINELY..IT IS ONLY WHEN ITS A HEAVY THREAT OF BACTERIAL OVERLOAD THAT YOU WILL RUN INTO HEALTH ISSUES...IN OTHER WORDS..IF YOU KEEP YOUR BIRD IN FILTH (DONT KEEP A BIRD IN FILTH FOR GODS SAKE..REHOME IT IF YOUR TOO LAZY TO KEEP HIM/HER CLEAN!!!)DONT ALLOW FOR NATURAL FORAGING..BUT IF YOUR A DUTIFUL BIRD OWNER....THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP BOTH OF YOU DO. (damn bird.)

I only this product and buy different varieties for my birds. I use it in combination with heated vegetables ( don't mix them; I keep vet foods and dry foods in separate bowls). This product also comes highly rated from all the avion vets I've spoken with. My birds also really like this food.

I had my conure on a seed mix for 8 months and she had no problem switching over to the pellets since she is still pretty young - in fact, she likes the pellets better and they are much cleaner and less hassle in general. I suggest if you still have a pretty young bird who has not gotten to use to seed mix yet that you switch it over to pellets. They are much more healthful for the bird and also with the seed mixtures I was getting moth larvae inside the brand new unopened bag. The pellets are much cleaner in general - not as much mess like seed husks to clean up each day.

I have purchased this several times. my African Grey loves the pellets just right size for her to hold and nibble on.

She refused to eat it. I had to mix it with her other food. Birds are suspicious of new things. It’s very high quality but if she won’t eat it, it’s not what I had in mind. Hopefully she’ll change her mind or I’ll have to put it on my cereal lol
