TOP's Mini Parrot Pellets 1 lb, USDA Organic Certified, Non-GMO Bird Food

To all bird owners: Please please please know that most of the bird pellets and seed mixes pet stores sell and bird owners are told to feed their birds are not good for birds. They are high in fat, often rancid or have old seeds and fungus/dust that hurts birds, and often include soybean oil, sugar, flavoring and synthetic vitamins that birds were never made to digest or live on. Yeah they're cheap but they are not bird food. When I found this brand, saw the ingredients, and then received a fresh product that my birds instantly loved, I wanted to write a love letter to the company and send a bag of this to every bird owner on the planet. Seriously. I probably should have calmed down before I wrote this review. More details: The "mini" size is perfect for smaller conures, lovebirds, cockatiels, and parakeets because you can break up the larger pieces if they don't. My birds break them up on their own so I didn't find the pellets too long but you can also soften them if your bird is used to wet foods. I would say the mini size could go up to most smaller conures as well like Sun conures, pineapple, etc. I try to feed my birds (parakeets, cockatiels, conures, love birds, and up) mostly sprouted grains like wild rice, quinoa, mung bean, lentils, wheat berries, etc, along with a constant supply of organic leafy greens and fruit (the ratio depends on the species) with FRESH seeds (not old, rancid ones found in bird seed mixes) only as a treat or during times when they need more calories. (PSA: please don't feed your bird peanuts.) I know very few bird owners have that type of time or OCD but I know just giving birds seed and old colored, "fruit" flavored pellets is not right and leads to health issues and eventually pain and suffering for both you and your birds. This routine of constantly preparing, sprouting, storing, and replacing wet food throughout the day before it goes bad is difficult to keep up for most people and hard to ensure a pet sitter will do if you go away. It also can create nutrient gaps if your bird is picky and will only eat certain fresh foods. (And most pet store birds won't even try fresh food because they were never shown what was edible beyond seed and need a flock or a very patient, dedicated owner to do that for them.) This brand of food has EXACTLY what I was searching for to remedy the above issues. AND it's fresh. AND my birds actually eat it and don't waste half of it like they would cheaper mixes. Yes, there will be "hulls" or crumbs left behind because birds are used to hulling their food but comparatively, they consume more of this than other brands where they just pick out the millet and canary seed and leave everything else (smaller birds, that is). All in all, you actually get more bang for your buck with this because it's so much more nutrient packed and high quality than cheap brands (I'm looking at you, Kaytee). Trust me, even as someone who chronically counts every penny I spend, THIS food is worth it! To the company: I love you, I appreciate you, please do not change this product in favor of cutting costs and making more money off consumers by using cheaper ingredients.

The one thing that got me to use this brand it the organic fresh high quality ingredients. Roudybush uses corn , soybean oil and filler ingredients that are harmful in the long run to their livers killing them faster. These are 95% organic ingredients. The highest ive come across. My pineapple conure is pretty picky but she caught on right away choosing them. Of course she will always prefer seeds over this but shes actively choosing to eat these. Im so happy i found this brand with quality ingredients i can trust. The food smells fresh and it does crumble. My parakeet is even pickier but she prefers smaller pellets . She may take longer to adjust but if they have nothing else to eat they have to eat this. Try cutting cold turkey but MONITOR that they are still eating. Try mixing in less of their regular and majority of this to transition if they are having a hard time. Small bag for $20 a bit expensive but they dont go through it as fast as regular seeds. Please consider making smaller sized pellets for her small beaks!

My birds are a bit picky with pellets. TOP's is something I keep in their rotation of pellets. The pellets are slightly larger than Lafeber's Daily pellets (the primary pellets I get), but they are small enough for my parakeets to grab and break. They're a bit on the crumbly side, but my birds don't seem to mind. I enjoy how TOP's is made with a variety of vegetables and grains without additions like honey, molasses, or cane sugar. It took a few minutes of hand feeding my birds these pellets to get them accustomed to them. To get your bird used to new pellets, I suggest offering a piece of your bird's regular food, followed by a piece of the new food (between the fingers). Then, lay some of the new pellets flat on your hand to see if they'll grab it themselves. Mixing pellets in their food dishes means they'll likely only eat their favorite, whereas offering new pellets alone may result in birds refusing to eat entirely. I found this hand feeding method helped them get used to the new shape, size, texture, and flavor.

These are the best quality pellets I’ve found so far, the ingredients are simply amazing! No soy, no corn, full of greens and vitamins. This is simply a dream to feed your birds. BUT the size is not mini and too big for my parakeets, that’s why they are not eating it. I’m trying to break each pellet in 3, so it takes me so much time, but even so it’s still big. I’m praying and being patient that they will become accustomed to the size and will start eating them. The smell is natural fresh greens, you can know you are feeding smth good, but the size disappoints. Will attach photo to compare sizes

I LOVE this product!!!! I am so so grateful to have a pellet my bird can eat without harmful or questionable ingredients. Truthfully I tried this myself when I read the ingredients 😁😅 I am plant based so it's on my menu haha. Plus, if I can eat it and live I trust it more for my bird. It tastes as it smells - grass like 😅. It's fresh and he eats even the crumbs. I bought the large this time and I break them up for him (no it isn't easy to do). The mini was too small for him. I notice that his feathers look vibrant and shiny when he eats this. I Love BIRDS and if you do too please feed your bird this healthy pellet and limit the seeds? I thank you on your bird's behalf. I have a lovebird by the way. Little fussy gut but a sweetie. He likes crunchy things and the texture is good for him.

The pellets are fine, the Quaker parrot seems to like them when offered from our hands. This was our first time buying, so we'll see if he easily adjusts over to them. The plastic packaging is not good quality though. It came punctured and some of the pellets had spilled out.

I honestly have got a huge bag for my birds who haven’t warmed up to this kind of food, and it’s been kept in a cool dry place since I picked it ip. The bag is probably two years old, but still smells fresh.

I believe the quality of the item itself is good (smells "healthy" - like dried vegetables and herbs, and the list of ingredients is great). I love that it doesn't contain any artificial coloring that was the selling point to me for this product. Unfortunately, the pellets are too large for budgies (they are not mini at all) and it's practically impossible to grind them to smaller pieces on your own (they would get powdered too easily). My parakeets will not eat them. I would definitely purchase them again if they were in the size proper for small birds (like in the attached picture comparing the pellets of the other brand that's size is perfect, but the product has artificial coloring in it that is bad for the birds).

Very good quality food

うちは文鳥さんで、病院の先生に助言されたので細かく砕いてあげてます。喜んで食べてます。

Long expiry. Understand good food but smell like rabbit pellets. My parrots not keen at first.

ペットフードも値上がりしているので、お安く購入できて良かったです。梱包も丁寧でした。 こちらのペレットはものすごく食べる子食べない子に分かれてしまいますが、原材料もナチュラルで食べる子だけでも食べさせたく継続して使用しています。匂いは牧草みたいで、ホロホロ崩れる食感も楽しそうです。袋の中で粉状になってしまうのも多いため、それは少しでも口に入るかなと食べない子の餌にまぶしています。

Good
