Tops Pellets brand

[seagoatdeb]

Looks like TOPS Pellets are not recommended by Feeding Feathers

"This pellet is not one of our recommended. It does not contain all Vitamins and minerals to make it a complete and balance pellet. I believe it is missing D3 and B12 among others. It is on the order of TOPS and would be fine as a treat."

How about giving us a link to where you saw this post. I googled Feeding Feathers and found a Facebook page with no posts at all, and the following site about greys where the moderator says that fruits have no nutritional value at all. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showth ... -that-good Posts like the one quoted above have no informational value if it can not be backed up with the ability to research the who and why it was posted. We don't even know which pellet was not recommended. Please give us more info.

That is one of the facebook groups I am in too so heres a link to it. It is a closed group so you will have to join to see posts though. https://www.facebook.com/groups/5354893 ... 4/?fref=nf (This is addded for more info) I finally found the post after much searching,and it is of a group member asking about Golden Feast. One of the answers is what Brandon Posted here. It appears to me the girl doesnt like Golden Feast or Tops and her reason is that they are not nutrionally complete. Its just her opinion. I personally think Tops is a good Brand.

Tops is a good brand and used to be called Totally Organic. I dont use the pellets though only the seeds. They can be served as is or soaked or sprouted. Over the years, I have seen many different pellets said to be the best by many different groups, but no one knows everything about parrots diet and they dont all have exactly the same diet requirments either.

I used to feed the seed when I just had budgies

Well, I tell you, if this group thinks that Tops is not good because it's not 'nutritionally complete' and their argument is that these pellets don't have B12 or D3 added, they don't know anywhere enough about parrot nutrition...

As you can see in the Quote she just mentions TOPS not speaking about it

We have been asking you which pellet she was talking about and you continue to only talk about TOPS. Why can't you answer the question. In your original post, you state that Feeding Feathers does not recommend TOPS. Then in the same post it is recommended as a treat, so your personal observation in the first sentence does not reflect on the information of the quote you quoted.. So just give us an answer on what pellet you asked about to get the response that you quoted. Or is this just a 16 year old's game of mess with the old folks.

1st of all I didn't ask anything on the group and I don't know what it was called but they were brown circles kinda like cheerios and why even mention my age as if I'm acting childish or something? You don't know me so don't assume I'm some child that plays games cause I'm far from it and probably more mature than a lot of adults these days.And also I'm on this forum a long time I'm sure older members would know if I'm the kind of person that plays so called "Games".

Yes I completely agree with your statement here. I located the post and the poster just gave a picture of her new pellets and was asking about them. I could only make out the words Golden Feast on the picture. nothing else. One girl who answered the poster, the one Brandon posted, seems to believe that both Golden Feast and Tops are not to be recommended. I am not a Tops pellet user but I have always like Tops, and found them to be a very good brand across the board. I have no idea about the Golden Feast at all.

Brandon, If I have this right, wanted to know what we thought about this womans assertion that Tops is not a recommended brand, and he has his answer now because both of us like Tops.

Yes I wanted to see what was so wrong about them that she didn't recommend them

[Pajarita]

But, Brandon, you knew why. She said it was because they were not 'nutritionally complete' because they had no B12 or D3 - it was right on the posting you copied and the answers you gave us.
