Between Zupreem and Roudybush? Roudybush.

I feed Harrison's but I'm always tossing around the idea of switching to TOPS. When I first adopted my Poi I fed him TOPS and switched to Harrison's because of my vet. My birds have excellent feather condition but they also get unfiltered sunlight and red palm fruit oil.

However, I like the ingredients in TOPS more; Harrison's is mainly corn, soybeans and peanuts whereas TOPS does not contain any. The biggest drawbacks about TOPS for me are the pellets don't contain vitamin D3 and they are super crumbly. If you even look at them wrong they turn to dust.

I like TOP as well.... and yeessss it crumbles.... luckily my lovebirds eat the crumbles left in the big guys's bowls :lol:

However, my birds don't seem to like it as much as Harrisons and Goldenobles... so that's why I always mix TOP with one of the two.

Also, I like the fact that they eat more than one brand of pellets... if a company discontinues briefly their product (as it happened recently with Goldenfeast as they updated or something the Goldenobles recipe), I can feed them the other brand they like without worrying too much that they won't accept it. ;)

If your birds are getting more than 30 mins of unfiltered sunlight per day you have nothing to worry about with Vitamin D3. The only one is B12 but you can get that from hard boiled eggs and few other sources.

I would use TOPS if i could get it here in Australia.
