My vet and several other avian vets around here recommend Roudybush pellets, they are not organic but have no added sugar and are not too high in protein. My blue headed Pionus eats Roudybush and seems to like it. He gets a few nutriberries as a treat as well as fresh food. My green cheek conure will only eat the Zupreem fruit flavored (and only cetain colors and shapes!) and she gets a small amount of seed mixture as well as her fresh food.

My Avian Vet recommends Vetafarm, comes in many varieties for different breeds and all our birds love it, minus Tim who seems a tad skeptical of it, I'm pretty sure he's still eating it tho.

I have always fed my birds a mixture of Roudybush daily and Zupreem fruit pellets and they love it. I buy on foryourbird.com in bulk and then just vacuum seal or repackage the larger bags into smaller ones. Never had a problem and you don't pay petstore prices...


mrstweet: I'm not sure how much you pay for the Roudybush is bulk on that website, but the Roudybush has it in a 10lb option for $40, in a resealable bag.
