Does anyone use Sleek and Sassy bird food?

I've been feeding this mix to Tiki, and she loves it, but I take the peanuts out.

That is the weirdest name for pet food I've ever heard. I definitely expected a different comment from you because of the title :P

and no, I just had to comment anyway.

Nope, never even heard of it. Mind you Jacko doesn't get a seed mix anyway---the name's cute but it looks like your standard seed mix.

The title is fitting for a Senegal, too :D

It's pretty good, Tiki likes it, although of course the mix is only part of her diet. It has nuts, dried fruit, seeds, and some pellets. Tiki is especially crazy about the pumpkin seeds in the mix, she picks them out! There's a mix with sunflower seeds which I don't get, because sunflower seeds are like crack to birds. I use them when training her... she is crAYze about sunflower seeds.

I'm weary about the peanuts, though. I don't think I've noticed any dark spots (mold) but I don't trust it.

If you're concerned about aspergillus, which I am, I wouldn't even use mix with peanuts mixed in. My inkling is that the spores can be transferred to neighboring seed in the bag so I'm untrusting of the whole situation.
