Do you eat your birds' seed/pellets?

Yes, I won't feed them anything I haven't personally tried.

Woooow. No, can't say that I do LOL

Yup, I've eaten some bird food. I don't feed anything that I won't eat. In my CAG's presence I avoid eating items she can't sample. I draw the line at making bird food a staple. FDA controls are different between human and animal food items. It makes me wonder why. Did person purchase for bird and give it a try? Did person try it because of cost for human equivalent?

I almost wonder if this person posts AI-generated comments and they mixed up comments for two different products. The tone has that "magazine advertisement" feel, to me anyway. I've seen some recent Amazon reviews that appear to be fake...for example, two or three reviews under different names, but more than half the text is the same.

What an odd review! LOL! As for the question, I regularly sample my birds' food, especially if trying to get them to eat it. Some of the pellets aren't half bad! LOL!

Eating something new AND at least looking like it's enjoyable is the only way to get my CAG to try new foods. Especially vegetables that are green!

Did a bird write the review?

Oh man!! Next thing you know I'm gonna find out that online reviews are not trustworthy - sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

My trust in online reviews started decreasing awhile back. This in proportion to the decrease in negative reviews available.

I haven't tried the pellets but I eat the seed mix when the bits are too big. It's just like trail mix and it's expensive. He just throws it overboard.

Aw Hell yeah! I make a regular snack of Harrison's pellets... they're mild, nutty and rich. Mmmmmmm!

Haha, I always distrusted some, because of people doing "sponsored" reviews and such. This used to annoy me when I read blogs (when personal/daily life blogging was more popular). Funny how so many people love a product that they were given for free, or a service that they were paid to write about. As Rheadshard2 said. But, at least they made some attempt to write something themselves, instead of using AI and multiple accounts.

"Snifffffffffffff" I loveee the smell of smashed grass in a bag.

I think a bird DID write it, and I think I know who it was, too. It was ONA!

Ever since Ona learned her colors so quickly I've been suspicious that shes not a normal bird. That was well over a year ago, and she's had plenty of time since then to learn to read, write, and order from Amazon. Now, Loren (aka The Conure Whisperer) is creating ANOTHER genius bird with Yuri who has already learned to talk while still in home quarantine!

 

[rheashard2]

It does sound like a bird wrote that review. How many are learning to use Alexa? So the next step is ordering online.

I read about a little kid about 7 or 8 who ordered 70,000 lollipops from Amazon on his parents account and a 5 year old who ordered $3,000 worth of toys. This actually happens quite often. I can't imagine what my parents would have done to me if I did that!

I heard of similar. I know what my parents would've done.
