Tropican Bird Food, Hagen Parrot Food with Peanuts & Sunflower Seeds, Maintenance Parrot Granules 2 mm, Lifetime Formula, 1.8 lb Bag

My blue crown conure has been eating this for at least ten years now. She's turning 31 years old in a couple months. I'm happy to find it here. My local pet store discontinued carrying this brand. She has liked all the Hari brand conure feed including the one with fruit. This is fortunately a complete feed, I do supplement with apple chunks and other fruit, I also add the Hari Tropicana at 10%.

This is soo good!!!! I have a little sun conure. I Recently found out that Zupreem pellets are not as good as i thought for my baby. He loved this food right away no introduction or tricks needed!!!! This food smells really nice too like a fruity bubble gum.

smells fresh, looks fresh, a great snack.

I have a couple of cockatiels. One of them was pretty sickly as a baby when I got him, and some time after his pressing issues were treated I realized he didn't quite understand how to eat like a proper tiel. Long story short; he attempts to swallow pellets whole and doesn't crunch them up when they are too big, which has made feeding him difficult. I have spent the past year trying all sorts of pellets to see which both my boys like the flavor of, and the other one can manage to eat with minimal difficulty. These are the perfect size for him to swallow since he thinks he is a snek. Also, both of the birds immediately took to them. Usually, it takes them a little more time before they really decide if they enjoy new foods or not. Hari Tropican is now a permanent part of the pellet blend I give my boys. Finally, it smells quite strongly of bubblegum and mildly of bananas, which threw me for a loop at first despite knowing to expect it. I kind of like the way it smells though.

Teil loves it. very little waste.

I've been feeding my featherball this for years and he still enjoys it, and prefers it over any other food except treats. It has virtually no smell and seems high quality. Definitely decent value

I am a volunteer, and on the board of directors for a state certified and registered bird rescue and rehoming organization. We take in the larger bird species; they are then ‘vet checked’, and distributed to qualified foster families for care until they can be rehomed. In this process, we often receive mal-nourished pet birds, who have only been fed on an all seed diet. One of our many goals is to convert these birds to fresh vegetables, fruits, and other wholesome and nutritious foods, and this includes the introduction to pellets for a completely balanced nutritional diet. The small size of Hagen Tropican is a perfect size to try on birds, that way you are not heavily invested in a pellet brand that does not appeal to them. The Air Barrier Zipper Bag insures freshness and the bag seals up tightly after each use. Although, there is a "bubble-gum-like" smell of the granules, after briefly doing my own ‘crunching test’ I can attest that this smell does not translate into the taste, therefore, the Tropican does not taste like bubble gum. I am impressed that Tropican contains not just the usual corn, but also soybean meal, ground wheat, soybean oil, peanut kernels, sunflower kernels, brewers rice, oat groats, flaxseed meal, spirulina, and a number of natural oils and other ingredients that apparently results in higher acceptance among birds that are not necessarily found in other major-brand pellets. Additionally, believing that birds need a certain amount of natural fat and oil for good feather condition, I have also observed that other pelleted foods are excessively "dry.” The Tropican formula addresses the normal dry pellet formula with an oil content of 10% (orange, banana, soybean), which is a healthier and more palatable alternative for our pet birds. There is no ‘one-way’ to introduce your bird to pellets, it does take time and patience, but there are a variety of different ways to incorporate pellets into a pet bird’s diet. Most birds that have only experienced a seed based diet will usually reject the pellets in the beginning, but here are a few different ways that have worked for us. 1) Try mixing a small amount of seeds in with the pellets, many seed based diets have done the same thing. 2) If your bird has a favorite type of fresh food, vegetables, fruit, or whatever he/she favors, sprinkle some pellets over this food as a ‘crunchy’ addition to the favored ‘treat’. Some birds might prefer the pellets ground up almost to a powder form and they will ingest them like a sprinkled topping until they get used to the taste. 3) Many pet birds like fruit juices, so try mixing a little juice with the pellets, but not too much to make them soggy. You may come up with a different solution for your own bird, but do not give up on the idea of pellets. If your bird will not accept them in any form, then just try a different brand. I am not endorsing one brand of pellets over another; obviously, the best is that one that they will eat, I can only state that we have had a tremendous success rate with Hagen Tropican.

My birds have been exhibiting symptoms that led me to believe that they are malnourished! After reading a review on the use of this product to rehabilitate rescued birds, I knew this product would help my guys. They are making small improvements, but havn't fully accepted the pellets. The reviews said that it would take time, so I'm including the pellets in their daily mix (now better than what they were eating), and I'm hoping that they do finally accept this food. The ingredients are excellent, and it tastes good (to me).

My bird loved it from day one! The smell is very yummy 😋

Never heard before about croquettes for parrots, I tried behind Vet’s suggestion and now my parrots are fit and healthy thanks to it.

The birds love this. The scent is wonderful like candy.
