Premium Nutritional Products Zupreem Avianbreeder Parrots & Conures Fruitblend Flavor, 40 lb (230153)

As a vet tech of 22 yrs and a laboratory animal technologist of 7 yrs, and having a certificate in animal nutrition, I cannot stress the importance of the pelleted diet for birds. Most birds will pick out the high fat oil seeds that taste better and ignore or toss out the other seeds and dried fruits/veggies in seed based diets, when they do this they will give themselves ugly plummage and scaley feet, and beaks due to dietary imbalances. When an avian diet is pelleted, all the necessary elements of the ideal diet are ground together in such a way that each bite of food gives the animal complete nutrition. This diet is colorful and fruit flavored (looks like Trix cereal, kinda smells like it too..)my bird loves this diet. Funny, even when he (he is a sulfer crested cockatoo)decides he hates all the purple ones today, the red tomorrow and so on, no matter his mental issues, I dont worry about him going without proper balanced nutrition. His plummage and skin/beak are amazing. I have transitioned several seed diet eating birds for friends/coworkers/clients to this food (it comes in a variety of sizes for various sized hookbills) and have improved the color and quality of skin and feathers. I buy the giant bag on amazon as it is not avail in pet stores, even with the shipping, it is far more cost effective when purchased this way. If you choose to do this, when your bag arrives, divide the entire bag into multiple gallon size ziplock bags and date the bags. Store in freezer to retain freshness, vitamins and ideal nutrition.

Zupreme is a high quality parrot food. Mine love it.

Good pellets.

We have 7 parrots including 2 macaws and they all live in huge outdoor aviaries. We don't breed birds but even in Hawaii it can dip into the 50's at night and the added calories of this breeder formula ensures that they have the additional calories they need when its cooler. This product with the free shipping is an outstanding value. We feed our parrots a mixture of this product, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

I've used the Zupreem Fruit Blend pellets for about 20 years (since they came out in the late 90s). In the past I've used the cockatiel size for my conures, but these parrot & conure sized pellets are not too big for them like some brands are and even past Zupreem pellets were. Also, I'm glad to see Zupreem did the varied shapes and colors instead of just round pieces in limited colors (as previous breeder pellets were), as the varied breeder pellets seem more attractive to the birds.

My Parrots must like it; they clean-up their food dishes. They are picky about flavors . . . the ones they like the most, disappear first. I don't like the waste, the bottom of the cage is full of bits and pieces. I don't waste them though; I give them to my chickens. I would recommend Zupreem Avianbreeder Parrots & Conures Fruitblend Flavor.

With the price of the Zupreem fruit blend so high, I've been feeding my cockatoo and macaw this for years and they enjoy it and in great health!

Great product for my two pairs of African Greys. They eat it eagerly and have remained in good feather and health through breeding season. Pet Food Station is the BEST supplier/vendor for this product and has always answered any questions promptly, shipped quickly and delivered the bag fresh.
