Review on 🐦 Volkman Seed Avian Science Super Hookbill: Premium Quality Diet for Hookbill Birds by Ibraheem Burna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

African Gray then Parrot Supplement-- ARTIFICIAL COLORS RENEWAL

I've been buying a 20 lb bag Volkmann Super HookBill for a number of years. I buy it first for my gray parrot, which apparently likes it better than the food from Volkmann AG. He eats sloppy but over the years at 39 he still looks pretty good. I give him a portion that I think he'll eat throughout the day. The next day I dump his food into a smaller bowl to give to 4 parrots. They finish all small seeds. This is a daily supplement to the Volkman parrot seeds I give them. In the meantime. For my own pleasure, I take out all the dried papayas and eat them for myself. Delicious! In the meantime. For my own pleasure, I take out all the dried hot cherry peppers. When I have five, I toss them in a small pot of boiling water with minced garlic and chopped onion. After about half an hour I turn it off and pour my new sauce over the fish, chicken or beef, adding some chilli sauce for extra heat - Mmm! 08/18/21 - IMPORTANT UPDATE! I recently learned that the ingredients contain FD&C #6 yellow dye. These dyes are carcinogenic. I asked my supplier and he said it was dried fruit. Now I'm worried because the other product - Volkman Parakeet - contains Red Dye #40, Yellow Dye #5, Yellow Dye #6 and Blue Dye #1. I really hate it when people are insured and say it's from approved by the FDA. Does this mean that a small amount of a carcinogen is safe? Wouldn't it be better to avoid the carcinogen?

Pros

Cons
