These are the pellets I got and they are recommended by the science based food group.

Yes the ingredients are listed in the same order as with human foods with the ingredient that is the largest amount being listed first.

I would rather feed my fids fresh, what ever happened to the great pellet debate , fresh is Best and the dispute over grains???? It would be so much simpler to feed pellets for me but the time I've spent reading this forum and all the different articles on what's best I've struggled with 10 fids and all there pickey ways and tried to convert and stick to gloop. BW (PS . really I don't need to empress anyone and meaning nothing derogatory towards you or what you feed your fids , I was stating ,it seemed to be more of the same like Harrison's and so on . Corn base and grains( truley if I could just chop fruits and veggies everyday with nuts for treats and have pellets to make sure they have everything they need life would be the best :thumbsup:

I am not impressed by the ingredients, either, but then, the only pellets I think have good ingredients are Tops and no other.

In any case, these pellets have too much protein for the species you keep, Brandon. They have a minimum protein of 21% and your birds should not get over 12.
