Kaytee NutriSoft Parrot & Conure Bird Food, 3-lbs

Picky 14yr old Black Cap Conure

She refers to herself as the “Baby” but her name is Daisy and we’ve had ever since she was just weaned and she’s grown fussy in her teens and lost some weight by refusing to eat anything but her seeds. I have a cupboard full of things she won’t eat until I stumbled across these in a group. I’ve also got her to star eating homemade “chop” too. The only thing with these and I don’t know if my girl just has sloppy table manner or if other’s experience it. I think she only eats a fraction of each piece and the rest just crumbles in her grasp. They are extremely crumbly so I go through them really fast. Maybe it’s game to her idk. She is actually eating though. But man do I have a mess. I would indeed recommend if you have a picky eater.

BIG MISTAKE

I thought new food sounded great. Liked the size, smell and ingredients. I added it to my regular conure food and started feeding it to my conure. Well that turned out to be a huge mistake!!!! She still won’t eat it, she does not like it, she stares at me and picks up the pellets and throws them down to the bottom of the cage !!!! I had to order her some more of her regular food. She is very picky and old and at almost 30 she only does what she wants. I am just her maid.

Good Alternative for picky birds!

I have an extremely picky 14 year old Green cheeked conure (which apparently is pretty common with this breed))! He only wants to eat his treats and seeds that provide little nutritional value. I was very skeptical about this food just because of my bird’s personal history. It is in the shape of little soft pellets and reminds me of miniature dog food! At first my bird just enjoyed playing with it and breaking it into little pieces! However with slow introduction he started eating it and I can feel good about giving my bird better nutrition! I just mixed a third of this food into his regular favorite Kaytee seed mixture and was happily surprised to see he was eating it and not leaving it behind on the floor or his cage! Definitely worth a try!

Disney Likes It!

My African Grey, Disney, will be 15 years old, and I have been feeding him Kaytee Exact Rainbow Parrot and Conure food along with his diet of fresh fruits and vegetables and chop mix. I was offered to try a free sample of the Kaytee Nutri Soft Parrot & Conure Bird Food and decided to see if my Parrot would like it. Kaytee Nutri Soft Parrot & Conure Bird Food comes in a soft pellet form, about the size and shape of a pea, unlike the Kaytee Exact Rainbow which are hard multishaped, multicolored pellets. Because of the soft texture, the pellets don’t get smashed around like the hard pellets. Less carpet sweeping!!! I put a few tablespoon full of the Kaytee Exact Rainbow in half of a bowl, and a few tablespoon full of Kaytee Nutri Soft in the other half of the bowl and watched to see which one he would eat. At first he would eat what he was familiar with which was the Kaytee Exact Rainbow. I noticed however that after a few days, he started eating the Kaytee Nutri Soft. That surprised me since he has been always been picky about eating anything new! Things are looking positive with Nutri Soft! It looks like Disney likes it!

My birds love it!

I was very surprised at how this food was accepted by my flock. My Timneh African Grey usually just drops pellets on the floor when I hand them to her but she actually munched the first one enthusiastically and then asked for more! My pionus also liked them. The little ones are interested but I will get the cockatiel size for them as the pellets might be a l'il too big.

My birds love it, and so much less waste!

Thought this soft food was kind of unique, and the price was decent so we decided to give it a try. I just started feeding it this week, and so far my birds seem to really like it. I've never seen a 'soft' pelleted bird food, so I wasn't sure how they were going to react. I've been mixing it with their usual food to start, and in the past few days, they seem to be eating more of the NutriSoft. (I'm surprised that even my picky Green Cheek Conure is eating it, since he usually hates anything new.) I like that it has 'natural fruit flavors' as compared to anything artificial. The best part, for me, is so much less waste/mess! The soft pellets don't shatter apart like hard pellets do, so they actually eat most of the food for a change! If you have a picky eater, give this a shot!

a pellet that should be considered

these pellets may take a few tries to get used to but my mini macaw and senegal love it now...they didn't at first I just kept on putting it with the other pellets and eventually they tried it. I notice it's the first pellet eaten. it smells like cat food to me.. but its been nice not giving them everything so rock hard and dry. I recommend it.

Fruity soft goodness

If you have a picky parrot this is the food you need! My parrot Lucky is an extremely picky eater, I've tried so many brands and every time she picks through it and makes more of a mess than actually eating. I was quite surprised when I opened the bag because the fruity smell was great. As soon as the bag opened it hit me lol. The food is super soft also and the perfect size! She loved it and ate every bit I put in her container. Which is great because I know she will be getting tons of nutrients she has been missing. I can't speak fully to clean up or messiness other than there was none left which I guess that answers that! I also think it's priced reasonably. I would love to have some different flavors too so I can switch it up for her but overall very happy with it!!

Finally no mess!

Our conure, Stormy, loves her new food! Finally, something that doesn't make a mess or crumble all over!! Because of the size and soft texture, she's able to eat it piece by piece right from her dish (she's particular about that!). I appreciate the nutritious ingredients, and it seems she loves the fruity flavor. We're happy to have found a quality Conure food at such a great price.

My conure Peaches loves this stuff! She got super excited when I poured it into her food dish. She sits there & devours most of it. Will continue to get this product!
