pellets

Hello everybody, I rescued a red lored amazon who is 25 years old and she doesn't and hasn't eaten fruit, veg or pellets before and she has hypocalcemia so I am desperately trying to get her to eat them all. Does anyone have any tips on introducing new food and pellets to her? She is extremely...

What in your opinion is the pellet food most Conures will eat? Im coming to the end of Connies bag of "Kaytee exact"which I had to grind up and sprinkle on her chop. I hear a few of you talking of" Zupreem" do you get it from Amazon. We are in lockdown atm,so would have to send for something...

We grinded up some pellets and gave them to pikachu (only pellets no seeds at all) we added 1 whole pellet in it. Pikachu gladly ate some pellet powder but when i hold a solid one up to his/her beak, she licks and grinds it a lil, it's like she plays with it, and then she spits it out. Do you...

Hi everyone! I just got a cockatiel around a week ago. When we got him/her (she/he is now 7 weeks old and fully weaned) she was on a seed-only diet. We are trying to convert him/her to a pellet diet (Tropican lifetime formula mixed with ZuPreem FruitBlend pellets) Do you have any tips? :grey...

I have 2 parakeets, I've had them 3 weeks. I've read it's better nutrition to feed them pellets than the pet store seed mixes. The pet store sent me home with a premixed seed and pellet food, they just picked out the seeds. I tried mixing in a higher quality pellet (zupreem), they toss it on...

Debating on which to try with my birds. Zupreem natural and fruit blend don’t seem to be towards their liking, at least in pellet form. I’ve been crushing the natural and putting it in with their vegetables and also on top of their seed/pellet mix. Harrison’s is a different formula so they...

I recently picked up my three month old sun conure. I was told they were done with hand feeding and eat on their own. I forgot to ask if the people started my bird on pellets or seeds. Tata (sun conure I’m taking about) enjoys the chopped veggies I gave them but doesn’t touch the pellets. I...

OMG, Maui comes home in 1 month after we get back from overseas! So excited. I am now looking at getting him pellet food so everything is ready when he gets home. Currently the breeder is feeding him Vetafarm pellets with some seed and fruits/veg. But having looked at the Vetafarm pellet...

I’ve got a question for all the more experienced parronts out there. I’m now preparing earnestly for when Māui comes home in 2 months (he’s being bird sat by the breeder until we move house) and that includes figuring out how to convert him from seed to pellet diet. Right now, the breeder feeds...

I chatted with a small bird breeder yesterday who used to hand-raise and handfeed Budgies. She hasn't bred them in awhile, but she did send me some links to articles she wrote about Budgies. I have Lovebirds, but recently I have taken in the two Budgies my friend inherited from someone else. I...

I recently bought an open, but almost completely full bag of Zupreen Avian Breeder fruit-blend pellet diet for Cockatiels, Lovebirds, Conures, etc. It's almost 40 lbs of food with a sell-by date of 05/2019. After doing some research on the food, I cannot feed it to my non-breeding birds so I...

Ok those who know me from the conure forum, you know my aggravation at how hard I’ve been trying to get Lily and Snowball onto pellets. I always knew the trick to getting Snowball eating his pellets would be getting Lily onto pellets first. Anything she eats, Snowball has to go to that same food...

I see so many threads on the internet about converting your bird from seed to pellets, or from seeds to fruits and vegetables. But I've never seen threads about birds eating too many pellets? For context, my young Eclectus is moving off mashed vegetables and is in this weird spot where what...

Hi all, So I have finally found a beautiful baby girl brown headed parrot that I have placed a deposit on. She is located in my home town, and I will be visiting her this weekend. She will be ready to take home in about 2-3 weeks, so I am preparing for the rest of our lives together! I have...

This is a video on how we feed our flock! I hope it helps somebody. Just a disclaimer that just because this is how we feed our flock doesn't mean that it is what you SHOULD feed them. Ingredients and routine preferences vary widely between parront to parront :) :green2::grey:

Lilly is my Pineapple Conure, and she's 18 months old roughly, I got her when she was 14 months old. I have no idea of her previous pellet diet... The first bag of pellets I bought for her were Kaytee rainbow, because of all the good reviews everywhere I was looking to buy... She took to them...

Hello everybody, I hope you guys are doing wonderful! But if you don't mind, could I ask a question on Galah food? ;) I know for a fact that Galahs LOVE seeds, especially Sun flower. But they are fatty foods and should be ONLY for special treats, so I was going to ask what are the best pellets...

Just recently we switched our green cheek conure Foggy over to mostly-pellets from a fortified seed diet. He seemed to take to it right away, and maybe even prefers crunching on the pellets to a lot of the things in the seed mixture. (Except for sunflower seeds.) However, after about a week...

So I'm having trouble I guess weaning the CAG I got back in early June. You can find the info here old thread Now he's able to eat solid food. He'll eat the cereal mix that the bird store sells and he eats nuts and fruit at times. He won't eat his pellets and won't eat his seeds. I would...

I am trying to switch my parrot's diet from seeds to pellets. The bird really just wants the bad seeds, and he doesn't bother eating a pellet. I see him grabbing one in his beak and even hold it in place with his foot, but he doesn't even break the pellet. Instead he thinks it's too hard to...
