Next week I can start introducing pellets back into Zilla's diet.

Limitations are ABSOLUTELY NO dyes or artificial colors, and I would like to stay away from artificial sweeteners and preservatives as much as possible.

What brands so your zons prefer?

You can try goldenobles by goldenfeast which is what I feed my Amazon. It has the agave in it which is debated on though.

Tops would be the best for all natural.

I feed all my other birds roudybush. There is a rice roudybush that you can get too. They also have the Careline which can be bought by vet prescription only. So you could talk to your vet about any of those too.

Kiwi doesn't eat a pellet based diet, but he seems to eat and enjoy Golden'Obles as a treat. I integrate them into toys because they are shaped like cheerios and easy to string like beads:D. I know some people have expressed some dislike of the brand, but since it is a low percentage of Kiwi's overall diet and is all-natural, I'm not too concerned. Given Zillas health issue though, I would ask the vet which pellets to use. She may need special considerations a bird without her health history may not.
