I have considered tasting their pellets, but just never got around to it.
Michael, can you get the Pretty Bird Gold there in the US? I've seen the rainbow colored stuff, but I mix some Pretty Bird Gold in with their Hagen Tropimix Low Fat Bean Mix. I've experimented with different pellets. I tried the Pretty Bird colored pellets, but both Lucy and Jessie can't stand colored pellets ... they refuse to eat and just throw them around. At least they both eat the Tropimix pellets and it does have dried fruits and beans included, which they really seem to appreciate as a treat. I mix in the Pretty Bird Gold from recommendations from several people in the local parrot club. It has Palm Oil in it and its very good for their feathers.
If I get a chance tonight, I will try both pellets and report back on my thoughts on taste/smell.
