Review on 🦜 TOP's Organic Parrot Food Pellets for Hookbills - Non-GMO, Peanut Soy & Corn Free, USDA Certified - Sizes for Small, Medium and Large Parrots by Jaime Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Texture unattractive to many parrots

I really liked the ingredients as a supplement to my parrots diet. However, the texture is unappealing to many of the birds I have offered it to. In a way, it resembles alfalfa granules. While I understand the reason for less processing for better nutrition, if the birds don't eat that food is wasted. I have successfully switched many birds to pellets and vegetables which are fed primarily seed but leave a lot of waste even if the bird decides to give it a try. Birds often simply mash it into a powder and then leave it in a cup. I started adding it to vegetarian bird chop (make fresh daily); I think that adds variety to the mix. At least that way it doesn't go to waste. I would also like the company to provide more analytics. Since plant nutrition can vary depending on harvest time and growing location, as well as variety and other variables, information on vitamin and mineral content would be welcome. This is especially important since there are some high-oxalate vegetables included in the recipe.
