I’m switching my goffins cockatoo and sun conure from Zupreem to Roudybush maintenance. Just got a 10 pounds plastic bag from Amazon. Should I store the whole bag in the refrigerator?

Or would I be ok storing them in an airtight container at room temperature?

I store pellets that I know will be consumed within a month or so in the fridge - anything in excess of 60 days goes in the freezer.

I buy the smaller bags, and store in a air tight big jar. It lasts about 1-1/2 months, Salty does eat some of it, but not every day, sometimes he is fussy and prefers his Nutraberries. He always eat hearty on his chop though.

The jar at room temperature?

Timelines are the important realities here and each individual will have their guides.
For us and our very picky Amazon:

A 30 day supply goes into the refrigerator!
Anything longer, goes into the freezer!

Nothing sits a room temperature with the exception of what is in the bowl and that rarely exceeds three hours!

That all said: All dry foods go into the freezer for a 'minimum' of 30 days to kill off any bugs that just may have found their way in during the packaging process!

In my house, moths find their way into any bird food stored at room temperature, no matter what container it's in. All food goes in the fridge and generally gets eaten in 60 days or less.
