This is an excellent blend that my parrots enjoy. I add fruit and nuts, Kaytee Exact pellets and Roudy Bush to it for a premium diet. Thank you Chewy for the great price and service!
My birds are seed junkies, even on a pellet diet. I give them a small amount first thing in the mornings, the rest of the day they’re eat pellets. This mix has more sunflower seeds than I’d like. Overall it’s a decent mix. My birds love it, they go for the sunflower seeds first.
I have an African Grey and he loves this seed. He is not throwing out that much of the seed. I highly recommend.
I inherited my mom's parrot last year. He's been in the family for close to 40 years. He is so picky. We ran out of this food and he barely wanted to eat. So glad it's available on Chewy since no pet stores within 40 minutes of my house seem to carry it anymore
My parrots love this food!!!
I've been feeding my parrot this since the day she was born and she is now 17 years old and doing great thank you chewy for getting me something I could not buy in any store at the new place I live
This is a fair seed diet, meaning there are tons of sunflower seed, more than anything it seems. I know you can buy seed without but for the price, you would think there would be less. My birds do consume the seed with great delight.
I always order Higgins Safflower Gold but orderd vita seed by mistake.worst seed ever!way too much fat to keep your parrots from getting over weight
I like this bag of seeds cause it does have a lot of sun flower seeds + other type of seeds. I also buy other seed varieties and make a mix.
Have bought this seed for many years but have seen a big change in it lately. Hardly any peanuts in it, lots of small seed like safflower seed. Lots of waste. Quality has gone down.
