I'm transitioning Dexter from the all seed and pellet diet he came to our home eating. He gets lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, along with some of the seeds/pellets while I transition. As we're almost ready to loose the pellets (down to just a few daily, yeah!!) I've been looking for a bean mix type food, either soak and serve or simmer and serve, to feed as his evening meal, in addition to the fruits and vegetables he gets in the morning.

The Volkman and Goldenfeast options seem great, but they both have quite a bit of fruit in the mix, which he's getting already. In my "research 'till your eyes bleed" way, I had to keep poking around and found a brand called "Crazy Corn" that seems like it might be an option. Has anyone tried this brand?

Here are the ingredients in their Corn & Bean Mix:
Whole corn, whole barley, rolled corn, green peas, pinto beans, red beans, soy beans, kidney beans, lima beans, black eye peas, red peppers, black peppers, garbanzo beans.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry, I haven't heard of CrazyCorn before. I tend to take the wisdom of the masses for what it's worth, and many of the more experienced posters here have plugged Goldenfeast and Harrison's and TOPs...those are what I would stick with. This CrazyCorn seems like a small player or new entrant? Not that it's not necessarily not trusthworthy, but any reason you wouldn't go with go with GF, H, TOPs?...after all, most wild parrots aren't eating legumes (ie, it's like saying your pet wolf is eating a lot of meat....fruit kind of IS what parrots should eat imo)

Crazy corn is a cook able mix. It's not bad but not to be used instead of a quality pellet or a fresh veg/fruit mix.

I've got a bag of crazy corn I haven't cooked up but basically would use it with some fresh veg in addition to the pellets I offer.

I planned to use it as a part of his diet, along with the fresh veggies and fruit I currently serve. Right now he gets a big bowl of veggies and fruit in the morning, which he dives into with reckless abandon (I love watching him enjoy his food). Sometime mid-afternoon, I'll give him a snack of either some seeds/nuts/popcorn or a kebob of corn, pepper, apple, brussel sprouts or whatever else I have handy that is kebob-able. In the evening, when my family sits down to dinner, we move his cage over near the dinner table so he can enjoy a meal with "the flock." At that time right now he gets some pellets and carrot sticks. I planned to make the crazy corn part of his dinnertime meal by mixing a tablespoon or so of the bean/grain mix with some more fruit or veggies.

Somehow I feel like taking away the pellets should be replaced with some sort of starchy or grainy product. Maybe I'm totally overthinking it. But, that would be typical of me LOL.
