Zupreem

[PrettyInInk87]

I just brought this home for Apple and he seems to like it, he ate a pellet out of my hand. I felt SO bad about him eating only seed and no veggies, this change was a must. I'm still working with him on the veggies but apple is still his favorite.

Your thoughts and experiences on this brand?

That is one of the brands I feed my parrots. They love it.

I'm glad I went with it and best part is that it was on sale.

I had my dusky on that for awhile. She liked it.

 

[PrettyInInk87]

He LOVED IT! I threw out his old seed and wondered what he would do with a bowl full of pellets, he picked one up and went straight to his water bowl. He started dunking right away and ate it. I'm so happy! Now looking fir a good avian Vet. for my little guys first check up.

Ahh the joys of pellet soup. My guys just love making soup and then bathing in it. Never did it with the seed mix they were on. As soon as I switched them to pellets I always had soup and soup covered birds.

 

[PrettyInInk87]

Lol! That's funny because I've had that happen twice. He always had a nice soup brewing since the mix he was eating had SOME pellets. I'm SO happy! No one else would understand but you guys.

Zupreem is 1 of the 4 pellet mix that I feed my 2 Yellow Napes.
They both like it.

Out of curiosity what other pellets do you mix with?

The parrot supply store Parrot Island in Eden Prairie, MN sells the mix, it is Harrison's, (which you have to buy yourself & add), ZuPreem All Natural, Scenic & Roudybush. Here is a link to the store where I buy it:

I feed my GCC Zupreem fruit pellet blend and then I also have this stuff called bean cuisine. You cook it and it's human grade ingredients. It has rice, beans, corn, pasta, peas. It comes in a huge container and last forever and is enexspensive but really good for your bird! I of course have to mix his favorite food in there, sweet potato! But this is what he's ate since he was a baby and he's very healthy and loves it!

Congradulations you have made the right decision to switch from seed to pellets. I have 2
African Grey parrots who are 9 yrs old and sisters. They were weaned to seed by the breeder and I have tried several times over the years to convert them from seed to pellets and was only just recently within the last month able to do it sucessfully and they love the pellets. I use Harrison's but Zupreem is a good pellet also. Don't forget lots of fresh veggies and fruits to go along with the pellets. Good luck!

 

[PrettyInInk87]

Thank you! Congratulations on switching them over as well.

You know, now that I think about it he was on some sort of pellet mix. He had the FIESTA mix in one dish and Zupreem Fruit Blend Flavor. I had totally forgot about that one, didn't even check the brand or anything. I'm going to mix the two and sprinkle a bit of the seed mix 3 times a day. How does that sound?

 

[Bobioden]

Maxx is on Roudybush Crumbles.

 

[PrettyInInk87]

I meant sprinckle seed 3 times a week not a day.

Am I not supposed to have the name of the place I buy it on here?
I can edit it out.
I didn't know that.
I am not associated with the store or it's owners in any way.

My Jenday Conure has been eating Zupreem for years. He loves it, though the only problem I have is that he goes through phases where he'll only eat a certain color. For a few weeks, he'll only eat the red pellets. Other weeks, he'll only eat the purple pellets. He almost never eats the yellow pellets. It's a bit of a waste, as I wind out having to toss the colors he decides he doesn't want...which is a good portion of the bag! lol
I've tried to switch him to plain brown pellets, but he won't have anything to do with them

My Cockatoo do the something, but the parakeets and canaries eats them. Or ill give it to my macaw cause he's not picky.

I never even realized my sun does that! Once you said he only eats certain colors I realized my sun does that!! He likes the red ones and won't touch the yellow ones either. I don't understand... My Dusky was on brown pellets but once I started feeding her the colored ones she won't go back to brown. She eats all the colors.
