Just to seem slightly less conspicuous I took her to the bird section of the store (a tiny six-foot section of wall and shelves) and noticed they have some sort of bird food there for around $6. Normally, we buy this other stuff that runs around $8-10. I don't remember the brand name, but it was in a big plastic jar and was available for parakeets, cockatiels and small parrots (which included Sun Conures on the label). Just to add to the matter, it had one of those "We donate to breast cancer" ribbons stamped on the front. It seems to good to be true. I browsed the Walmart website to see if I could find the brand I'm talking about but I couldn't find it.

So the gist of what I'm asking is should I be wary of this since it's from Walmart and so cheap? I don't want to feed anything bad to Skittles. If I get the chance to go by there again I'll make sure to take note of the name and take a picture of the nutrition facts.

Since you're in Virginia, have you considered ordering food from http://www.birdsafestore.com/? Shipping shouldn't be too horrible since you're nearby. And everything on that site is pretty much tested. (And no, I have no affiliation with them. Just a customer that heard about the store from Phoenix Landing as the owner of Bird Safe, Joe, supports Phoenix Landing.)
