Any recommendations? She has a Tiel I will be getting a Meyers pretty soon.

My cockatiels, conures, and cockatoo all get a different diet.
The cockatiels eat this one! They also eat TOPs pellets and a lot of different fresh and baked foods. They also get Red Raspberry leaf in their water.

The tiels have been on Dr Harvey before though and liked it quite a bit. My tiels have never had the higgins.
The conures get this one! Right now I am arguing with them about pellets. They are eating Roudybush a bit right now and had been on TOPs before they rebelled. They also get fresh and baked foods. Occasionally they will get Goldenfeast mixes. The GCC get Red Clover and Red Raspberry Leaf in their water. The sun gets Red Raspberry Leaf in his water.

I'm not sure what a Meyers should get but hopefully you get some ideas from this

Funny, Robin has been excitedly eating his Harrison's for at least 10 years now... Maybe longer I don't remember when I started buying it. Everyone here LOVES it.

For seeds, I currently mix Kaylor of Colorado Sweet Harvest Cockatiel (or budgie) w/out Sunflower Seeds with Goldenfeast Australian Blend *OR* Petite Hookbill Legume Blend. The cockatiels eat this, although sometimes Jayde gets some too.
The cockatiels and Jayde also get ADULT LIFETIME FINE-Harrison's Bird Foods.
My bourke parakeet is currently eating HIGH POTENCY FINE-Harrison's Bird Foods.
Jayde is also getting Nutri-Berries? | Pet Birds by Lafeber Co., and I like to vary what I get her.
Charlie was on Harrison's Adult Lifetime Fine, although I've purchased a few different Roudybush blends for him, and ATM I am trying him on a low dry food diet. Most days he's been eating a grain, legume, veggie and fruit mix without dry foods. I think he's only had dry food like 3 days within the past 2-3 weeks? Although prior to that, I was mixing dry with wet for a while.
All the other birds get their wet foods separate from their dry foods.

Thanks to all that have reccomends and showing the site that I can buy in bulk from that should be helpfull for a seed/fruit blend Im my stupidity in the past i have used ZuPreem Fruitblend I was younger and more foolish. I do more research on the foods befor I give them to the birds. Thus I am a little leary of Pellets. or too many hard to read chemicals
