Asking because...

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!

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.

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

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.
