The totally organic pellets are a great simple pellet full of good stuff. It's important to offer pellets, even if only a little. It helps to fill any nutritional gaps that the birds may have. And unlike other pellets TOPS aren't full of extra vitamins(they get vitamins straight from the excellent ingredients), perfect for a eclectus. You can tell when examining the pellet that it isn't processed much.
Here's the ingredients
Rice, hulled millet, barley, alfalfa leaf, sunflower seed hulled, sesame seeds unhulled, quinoa whole, buckwheat hulled, dandelion leaf powder, carrot powder, spinach leaf powder, purple dulse, kelp, rose hips powder, rose hips crushed, orange peel powder, lemon peel powder, rosemary whole leaf, cayenne ground, crushed red chili peppers, nettle leaf.
Offering a small bowl of pellets daily, along with the fresh food would be a good idea. It sounds like your doing a lot of research, that's fantastic
in comparison to the TOPS, here's the Harrison's pellets. I feed both Rosie and Kenji Harrison's, and they do very well on it. In my opinion TOPS and Harrison's are the two best pellets available in the united states, both are excellent for different reasons.
