Great as a treat, not as a staple food

Volkman seems like a "good" seed brand. I say good and give the product a 4/5 because seeds shouldn't be a parrot's primary diet - ever.

Pros
  • Suitable for both small and large hooked noses.
Cons
  • Vulgarity

  • Mixture based on safflower, without the addition of sunflowers.

This means it's not the best price if you have picky eaters like most of us. For these reasons I will look around for a different mixture. In a

Pros
  • The carefully formulated blend is natural, clean, convenient and easy to use.
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
