- My Organic Life Enhancing Pellets for Parrots (cold pressed) are available here; birdtricksstore.com/collectio...
** Sorry, but I can only ship my pellets and birdie bread within the USA **
My parrot pellets are comprised of 100% natural, ORGANIC ingredients.
They are FREE FROM:
⦁ GMOs
⦁ Wheat and corn fillers
⦁ Added vitamins or minerals
⦁ Artificial flavors
⦁ Added sugar of any kind
⦁ Dyes
⦁ Chemical preservatives
They are preserved using natural ingredients such as orange peels and rose hips, and they are suitable for ANY sized parrot (from budgies to macaws!). These pellets are processed using a cold-pressed method which retains all the nutrition naturally occurring in each ingredient. It also means they break apart easily, making them ideal for small beaks (budgies and the like) and new beaks (baby birds) as well as everything in between!
Here is a list of the ingredients inside our organic pellets. It’s truly impressive. Every single ingredient comes directly from nature:
Rice, hulled millet, barley, alfalfa leaf, sunflower seed hulled, sesame seeds unhulled, quinoa whole, buckwheat hulled, dandelion leaf powder, carrot powder, spinach leaf powder, purple dulse, kelp, rose hips powder, rose hips crushed, orange peel powder, lemon peel powder, rosemary whole leaf, cayenne ground, crushed red chili peppers, nettle leaf.

Hello everyone! Ashlyn (Birdtricks Customer Service) here! I just wanted to say thanks to all your amazing comments and emails, along with tagging us on different social media platforms of your stories with our pellets. With this comment, I wanted to answer a few commonly asked questions, along with providing you with some of our free resources that you might find helpful.
1) Can these pellets be shipped internationally?
The answer is, unfortunately, no. We do not have the permitting to be able to ship any of our food products internationally. However, we do recommend a brand of pellets to our international clients that is similar to ours called TOPs. If you do place an order for our pellets or birdie bread accidentally through our site (but are an international client), you will be refunded and notified.
2) Do you offer a subscription program?
Yes! That is one of the things we really pride ourselves on is our subscription programs so that you don't have to worry or think about having to order food consistently. Just set the quantity and timing and we will auto process and ship to you. You can also cancel at any time with no hassle or fees. Plus, you get a great discount when putting your order on subscription!
3) My bird is having trouble adjusting to a healthier pellet. What can I do?
This is something that is common, especially when switching from a pellet that has a lot of sugar in it to one that does not (or from an all seed diet to a pellet diet). It's like trying to switch kids from a sugary cereal to no sugar added oatmeal - some take to it right away where others need a little convincing. We do have some FREE resources though that have tips and tricks to help through the process!
If needing help switching from a seed diet - birdtricksstore.com/collections/free-products/products/get-your-bird-off-junk-food-guide
If needing help switching from a different pellet - birdtricksstore.com/collections/free-products/products/6-cup-of-pellets-guide
4) Can I purchase a sample bag of pellets?
Currently we do offer a sample 1-lb bag of pellets, but they can only be purchased with one of our birdie bread blends. The reason for this is our fulfillment center will not pull just a single small bag and ship, so to be able to offer them anymore we had to pair them with something else. We felt the birdie breads were a great way to pair the sample bag with a product that can also help you introduce the pellets to your bird. They can be found here - birdtricksstore.com/products/birdie-bread-blends?variant=16712276639790
5) How long do the pellets last for?
The typical shelf life of our pellets is 8-10 months if kept in an air tight container. If wanting to keep the pellets for longer, you can place them in air tight containers and freeze them, but we still only recommend that they go as long as 12 months.
6) How many pellets should I be feeding my bird?
Great question! While there is no "one amount fits all", we did make a video that can help you find the right about of pellets (and natural feeding system) for your bird here - th-cam.com/video/BPZbnihqIoE/w-d-xo.html
I hope that this helps! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us at info@birdtricks.com and we will do our best to assist you!
Who is the manufacturer of the pellets?
You're a good saleswoman. I'll buy some and i dont even have bird.😘
Don’t be stupid buy tops parrot food don’t over pay these gals
The 2 of you are dressed in the same colors! You just don't have anything that's so red, but the pink hair! You're also very pretty too! 💖🐦💖😇💖
Awesome! Enjoyed you time with Marlene. You are so gifted with wisdom!
Thank you ao much!! Going to head over and get them. Bondi is so cute, the little fluff baby❤🐦
Great job Jamie on explaining your pellets, and I have always been amazed at how intense Bondi's coloring is. Wishing you the very best.
I can also confirm the fact you really do just want to help. Living in the UK and wanting the best for my birdy, I was gutted I couldn't order yours. But a quick email to customer service and I was recommended the UK equivalent (TOPS cold pressed organic pellets). My bird is now healthier and happier. Thanks
Collette Cockatiel TOPS is a US company & their product is made here too. It looks like they can ship overseas to a very limited number of countries. Glad you were able to get it!!
Hi Jamie, I love the way you and Marlene Mccohen put your marketing skills to help your parrots to a healthy diet. Very awesome. 😊😊😊
Omg my ring neck loves your pellets. They are amazing and honestly she treats your pellets like treats I've given them to her as a very low value treat for things like stepping up and down cleanly and also not going on my shoulder. They are amazing and honestly I would recommend them for anyone and everyone.
…. So very impressed with everything that I have seen from you and your husband Dave and your flock, and your little girl Capri is adorable! :)
I love the range of high quality Pellets! :)
I’ve been watching your videos now for a couple of weeks and this video just took the cake for me! In a very good way! Lol
When you were talking about the diet of your birds I was completely relating but on a human level it’s so true right across the board!!! Lol
I had a budgie bird when I was just a little girl and approaching 60 years old with my service dog having cancer I’m thinking about getting a budgie bird thanks to you it’s putting me back in touch with nature and the things that make me very happy. :)
Ordered these pellets and presently converting my flock. Love the fresh smell!
The pellets, manufactured by Tops and marketed under the BirdTricks label and the Marlene McCohen label as well are mainly Alfalfa. I think they make a great addition to the diet but I completely disagree that they should form the base of any parrot's diet. I understand that Jamie feeds her birds fresh produce chop in the am so these pellets are not the only food in the diet. That is important for people to understand lest they think that Tops pellets would be suitable as an only food. Most other pellet brands have a corn and soy base and are fortified with a mix of natural and some synthetic vitamins. I also don't think a parrot should only be given corn based pellets either. That said, it has been established over time with avian veterinarians that pet birds do much better if eating a corn based, fortified pellet than just a seed mix. This is because pellets are a better way to ensure that the parrot is getting a full profile of essential macro and micro nutrients. With a seed mix, a parrot tends to get too much fat and will end up with deficiencies if he selectively eats some seeds and not others.
Note, millet and other grain seeds are not fatty like sunflower seeds and so it is not a true that all seeds are fatty. Macaws and many conures need more fat in the diet than desert parrots like Cockatiels and budgies. The beak of a particular species has evolved to feed on the native, regional diet of that bird and their organs are suited to handle the fat, carbs and protein amounts of the natural diet. Budgies, for example, with their small beaks are not designed to eat pecans and if feed a diet high in shelled pecans will get sick from the excessive fat. Macaws did not evolve a big beak to eat little millet seeds but obviously to crack open hard shelled nuts. It is reasonable to believe that a Macaw should have some hard nuts in their diet and so has evolved to need more fat.
Tops pellets are a new addition to the market and so they have no track record. They are not fortified with added vitamins (natural or synthetic) and so only provide the vitamins and minerals naturally present in the main ingredients. Because they are cold pressed, they do not lose all the natural vitamins in processing. However, that does not mean that they retain all the natural vitamins as a processed food. Minimally processed is better than high heat processing for conserving the natural vitamins, but no processed food has as many fresh vitamins as fresh produce. Because Tops is a new product and because they have a very different composition than the tried and tested pellets that are now all corn based and fortified, none of us know the long term performance of these pellets. No one yet knows if desert birds from Australia will do as well on these pellets as say Macaws that evolved in rainforests. Seriously, it is appropriate to think about this. I am not convinced that my Noble Macaw or my budgies or my conures should eat a diet that contains so much alfalfa. Alfalfa is a cheap green fodder and that is why it is in this pellet. It is healthy in general but it may be that it has too much iodine or too much whatever or too little whatever to think it should be the base of a generic parrot's diet. It may be that alfalfa is the perfect, generic, green substitute for the tropical mix of plants that a conure would naturally eat in the wild and it may be that for any given species it is toxic long term. Nobody knows.
So, that gets us back to the fact that variety is better than no variety and the fact that nobody really knows what any particular species of parrot eats in the wild and how that changes seasonally with breeding and flying and temperature and how the caged life is completely different than a wild life and how that affects the metabolic needs from the diet. I agree with Jamie that a fresh chop made of mainly veggies is an essential component for a pet parrot's diet and that too much fruit gives too much fructose (for most parrots but not Lories and Tucans and other species that evolved to eat mainly fruit). I agree that pellets should also be fed but I think the best we can do is to alternate the alfalfa pellets with other brands just to hedge all bets. I also think they need a fresh mix of oily seeds and non-oily grain seeds as a smaller portion of the diet and the best ratios of fat and carb and protein is very different between the different parrot species so we have to make some intelligent guesses about that. I think we should look to parrot breeders in Loro Parque who have been studying the health of various species for decades and see if they have written any books on the subject or have any published lectures. Tony Silva has a couple of brief youtube videos and he explains that most wild parrots eat unripe fruit vs. ripe fruit. Unripe fruit have low fructose and high fiber and toxic alkaloids. Something to think about.
Thank you so much for writing this. I transitioned my budgie to these pellets a few years back because I believed the marketing that these were the “best” pellets for birds and all other brands were inferior due to the “fillers.”
However, after a few months of eating only these pellets and chop as BirdTricks recommends, he suddenly started developing what I initially believed to merely be behavioral issues. He was frantically running around the bottom of the cage, he desperately wanted to eat crumbs off of the floor, and he would contact call me for a very long period of time whenever I left the room. I emailed BirdTricks and they agreed that it was merely due to behavior, however they did recommend I see my avian vet just in case.
I decided to take him in and the vet commented that he was thin. His bloodwork came back with results indicative of starvation from being on these pellets, even though it had only been around 6 months since he was fully converted. Turns out his behavior was due to him being constantly hungry. I switched him to Harrison’s per the vet’s recommendation and his bloodwork was completely normal upon his follow-up one month later. I’ve continued to feed these pellets to my birds ever since and they’ve been in near-perfect health.
Although I do buy some of BirdTricks’ products for my birds still, I have to say I can’t agree with their dietary recommendations after that experience.
I don't own a bird yet but I figured that by the time I am really ready for one I will have TONS of research just by watching your videos. Gives me more confidence that I will be a really good birdie mom when the time is just right (thinking 1-2 years from now!) I will def be buying all of your food items, toy items, you name it!
I am on my 2nd 4lb bag, my wee baby green cheek conure LOVES them!
Just bought a pack! im very excited for my cockatiels to try these pellets. thank you :)!
I just ordered some things off of your website! Thank you so much I don’t know what I would do without you and your wonderful things! Can’t wait to get my baby bird onto your pellets as soon as I can! Thank you again!
Ridgeback Ranch Sophie thank you 🥰
Their pellets have the exact same ingredient panel as Tops pellets and costs twice as much. It looks like they grabbed the less expensive Tops pellets and put them in a new bag with their name on it and then got fools to buy it for more than Tops.
Taking a step in the direction towards getting a bird of my own, I've decided this payday to get the beginner level bundle from you guys! Research to the next level :) been wanting/researching for about a year plus now!
Same!! I just started volunteering at a semi-local bird sanctuary to prepare myself for what having a bird of my own will be like, my son has a cockatiel at his dad's and Ive been working with her every time i see her for so long now that I'm finally ready to start building relationships with the birds at the sanctuary, and maybe, hopefully, one of them will "pick" me eventually, and bird tricks has been a huge inspiration on this bird-wanting journey lol
Love your pellets
I always look forward to watching your videos!! Thank you for posting. Love your channel you have such great skill at making awesome and interesting videos. Thank you so much never stop!!
Kk Creatures thank you 💗🥰💗
Ordering some for Conway - Thanks @BirdTricks !!
I was tryign to find this so bad!! FINALLY YAY!! I FOUND IT!
Yay! I live in the UK and bought Tops cold pressed pellets on your advice as I can't get yours over here. My bird LOVES them.
Collette Cockatiel TOP’s are the same pellets just with different label, so you’re still getting their brand of pellets 👍 but it’s nice for people to buy the bird tricks label and support their company when its available
@@Ashley.falcon The only difference is the BT label adds another 14$ plus shipping that depends on where you are (+12$ for me upon just checking for a total of 72$... 26$ more than TOPS just for the brand). But anyway, you still get the nutrition of the birdtricks diet, so you're all set :)
----I just checked right now and for a BT 8 pound bag its 60$ w/o shipping, and 2x 4 pound bags of TOPS for 46$ (shipping included).
That's using the official topsparrotfood.com and birdtricksstore.com sites; you can get TOPS w/o shipping that sometimes comes out cheaper depending on where you live on birdsafestore and other places. birdsafestore.com has a 10 lbs bag of TOPS for 34$...which comes out to 20$ shipping for me...which is still cheaper than BT's 8 lbs bag O_O'

Night I know, big price difference. Always felt like they were taking advantage of people for marking it up so much. Especially those who are burdened by the additional cost. I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want to throw them under the bus on their page in my last comment. They seem like decent people.
@Collette Cockatiel ...Me too!
@@Ashley.falcon I think you might have this backwards... TOPs has been around since 2003?
Yay! I’m getting a bird next March or so. I definitely am happy you guys have a pellet for sale.
Kim Ensley ooh which bird?
A mustache parakeet
My dad got some with the recipe book purchase. They gave me half the 4lb bag. I gotta say, I'll be getting some of my own when they're gone. My jenday loves them! I've been mixing in a few with his pellets I already had til they're gone. However, he goes right for yours! Everytime!
You recommended for me to use Tops pellets since I live in Canada, I finally got my hands on the pellets, and my birds took to them so easily and makes me feel so much better about their diet, the last pellet they were on advertised peanuts on the packaging and I only recently learned that that is less than ideal, my birds haven’t been on them for very long, but I’m excited to see if anything changes with them, behaviourally or physically, in the next little while! Every time I talk to a bird owner now I constantly talk about the benefits of cold pressed pellets, most people I’ve spoken to don’t even know what cold pressed pellets are! Thanks for all your help!
Hey I am also on the market for some pellets for my lovebird and I'm also in Canada, so I was wondering if there's any updates you could provide? Is Tops still your go-to for pellets?
@@dynasyss definitely! they’re fantastic!
Why does Tops and BirdTricks pellets have the exact same ingredient panel?? Seems sketchy especially given BirdTricks charges almost twice as much.
im getting my bird in a week, and just got a 4lb bag from you guys! I'll def be converting my little guy over to your pellets!!
Because iv learned so much from you guys and i just love your family!!! im going to try the pellets for my lovebird!!! My Bird breeder who is really smart i thought recommended "Harrison" i was not happy after checking ingredients! Thanks for Making this video and made me look! You have Helped countless bird live a better life!!
Order #173**
Thank you ****!
Excellent video. You do such a good job pronouncing the ingredients in the crappy brand, you always have a career as a Chemistry teacher.
You are sooooo pretty.
Aw that was nice of you to say, thank you.
I must confess this made me get up and read the ingredients of my pellets. I’m not impressed! I will be ordering a small bag for my birds to try! I have tried Harrison’s pellets but they are very hard and none of my birds will touch them.
Malinda Smith - My birds don’t touch the larger Harrison pellets, but LOVE the fine size:)
CarolynCRNA mine loves harrison food
I have only tried the larger ones for my cockatoos but even if I grind them up the birds won’t touch them. It’s a good brand I believe but birds are all different!
Yeah I just bought Harrison’s and my conure does not like them. Wasted 15 bucks 😐
Just wanted to let you know that Chipper loves your pellets!! He would not touch them for 3 days so I crushed them into his sweet potatoes and he went nuts!! He eats them BETTER then his Zupreem fruit which I have now stopped giving him! Thank you so so much!! He loves to crunch them and even makes his yummy noise and ❤🤗
My Amazon will be giving these a try.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I NEED TO FIND PELLETS FOR MY BUDGIES
And now l will probably by yours
I'm so glad we got to see Bondi. How's he doing without Bandit? I got teary all over again thinking about yall losing him. 😍
Just bought my first bag! (Been waiting for our other store bought natural pellet to be nearly gone) Already have the natural feeding system and my green cheek loves the chop!
Yay!
My Senegal and Green cheek eat these pellets! My Senegal eats his entire dish every single day lol. I switched them over from roudybush and they accepted them right away.
I follow Marlene too and wanted to support and get hers but I just can't bring myself too cause yours is such a staple. I use powder on top of just washed fruits ha
Bonnie Boo!! 💜💜
I just wanted to say, u look so pretty in this vidʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Maya Grayson thank you 💕💕💕
@@BirdTricks you always are beautiful
I am getting 😍
My Umbrella dug right in, but my Moluccan is being stubborn. 🤣 I’m not done with him yet! 🤣🕊
I am in Canada and have been using tops for my birds. Some like it and some don't.
Those pellets even sound good for my Bearded dragon 👍
Just got mine a few days ago 😊😊😊😊.
I wish I could buy them!! Hope you go international soon :)
Too bad my birds hate pellets will be using you recipe for organic seed mix love the vids
i dont currently own a bird. but i have in the past. i just wanted to comment that now Jamie you need to do more videos with Bondi. i loved bandit
Adrien Gilfillan I’ll definitely try to feature her more often 💕💕💕
As you are talking, Nemo is crunching your pellets. Love you and so happy to see this Bondi boy, RIP. Maren
Bondi is my female galah, she is not the one who passed away... that was my male, Bandit. And thank you!
@@BirdTricks I am sorry, I knew it was the boy. Did I spell her name right? How are you now? Is she doing well with out him now? Nemo's crown has gotten longer. Plus she is so much more active with your food.
Every one says Galah's are such hard birds to have, but I am so in love with them.
Just ordered them for my Goffins. I'm excited to try them. He doesnt care for Harrisons only fruit flavored Zupreem...fingers crossed ❤
Melissa Joerger you may consider making some Birdie bread with both pellets to help the transition as the fruit pellets are VERY high in sugar so they’re gonna taste much sweeter! 💗
Bondi is looking at you saying “mom what the heck are you doing?!” 😂😂
I’d love to buy from you guys but $40 for shipping is too expensive for me. Especially since I’m not even sure if my bird will even like them :/
We actually can't ship outside the US because of the special permitting needed. Sorry about that!
😍😍😍😍😍😍 rockstar bird food 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I wonder if I can give this to my ringneck, I mean will he eat it as well as budgies. It looks big but I can always grind it
Hi Jamie
It’s really great to see your healthy and friendly little bird friends.
I have an 8 years old very cuddly Congo African grey ( Sparkle) and 9 years old yellow ring neck very MOODY 😝( fluffy).
They take vegetables, fruits and sunflower seeds in a balanced way ( I think so).
Can I get your pellet diet here in Pakistan? I am very much interested. Will you please guide me about how to get it delivered here?
I love your vids I've always been a reptiles guy but have loved birds. I just got my first bird a beautiful little parakeet even tho most of you vids are for larger birds it still helps with interaction. tho the difficulty is my birds wings aren't clipped which I'm very against having clipped wings but she loves to fly if she comes out of the cage and doesn't like to come back lol.
Good job for you! Out of curiosity, what reptiles do you have? I used to hate reptiles but I watched Snake Discovery and realized that snakes aren't so scary (mainly because they can get calm and most are non poisonous.)
@@juliusroman8616 I have a 9 and a half foot long albino boa, An albino ball python, and my prize snake is an IMG Motley Jungle het for Albino Sharp Albino and axanthic. I also have a red stripe gargoyle gecko and a leachie gecko
I bought tops pellets (Canadian parrot parent here) and I really wanted to like them. I love the ingredients, the organic label and the use of real foods to provide the bulk of the nutrition instead of vitamin premixes. My birds, a cockatiel who is very poorly bred and has some health issues, and a Meyer's parrot, eat the BBB and I love it! And they love it!
But... The pellets. I don't know if it's where I live, the length of the seasons, the cold winters, or maybe just my birds as an individual, but neither of them do well on the tops pellets :( Gerty the cockatiel enjoys them, but if she's given just Tops pellets and the BBB, she comes skinny, even with an unlimited supply of pellets and more than what she can eat for breakfast. I find myself feeding her extra seeds and nuts to try and bump up her calories, which then turns into her eating less breakfast and then less pellets. Meeko is less thrilled about the pellets, but again eats breakfast every morning. He is free to fly around my home and we do tons of training every day, so he gets lots of treats of almond bits, pine nuts, sunflower seeds and bits of fruit, but he too gets skinny eating just Tops for pellets. I thought perhaps Gerty's health issues were her issue, then I noticed Meeko sliding back on the scale too unless he gets a ton of extras.
I will likely keep Tops in the rotation of Pellets I feed, but as time goes on and I'm finding my birds weight to be fluctuating and becoming underweight with clean (well, relatively clean in Gerty's case! Poor breeding did her no favors) bills of health from the vet, im resigned to knowing that I can't just feed tops as a pellet.
Is there a budgie care video you guys can lead me too? That would be greatly appreciated ❤️ TIA😘
I just ordered this for my red lored amazon I hope he likes them ♥️♥️♥️🤗🦜🦜🦜
Hey, can I ask if these are ok for lorikeets? I’ve got a rainbow and wondering if these would damage the bristles on her tongue? Thanks love your videos!! It’s thanks to you that I have a very well trained lorikeet, which can be tricky with these little guys lol!
Edit: not thinking about trying to convert her to having these as a large percentage of her diet, just for foraging, she gets a really well made nectar mix (wambaroo wet) and fresh veggies daily, fruit sparingly and mainly as a reward. I’m also NOT trying to “stop the squirts” as I don’t feel right about trying to change a birds natural digestive process by clogging it up, they eat a lot of nectar so they have messy poo, that’s just life :)
I just bought a bag, I'm excited for my lulu to try it out. She's a lesser sulfur crested cockatoo, your favorite! 😂😂 she really is just a sweetheart ❤ she has been given roudybush her entire life, so she is used to pellets. I think I'll try mixing in these with her normal pellets first. What do you think? Thanks so much for all you do!
Ta2dWeNch 13 yeah they’re pretty similar in looks to roudybush other than mine are more green and those are more brown. Also mine are softer in terms of breaking apart so I’ve always had good luck switching roudybush eaters over! 💕💕💕
Wonderful thoughtfulness went into your product. But how about Eclectus? Your pellets would be dangerous to feed to Eclectus due to their more efficient but
How are rosehips a great idea? Overhere we are taught the fine hairs around the seeds are a powerfull irritant to the breathing apparatus, eyes etc.etc. of the birds (and maybe even the digestive tract) and need to be burned off (yup, open flame ;) ) before you can safely use them as (a super)food.
I would love to try these pellets though :) (even though rice is just as much a filler as the other starches,. it is great to find something that is peanut- and soyfree ). Any chance of shipping to Europe?
'Organic' in the USA still means some pesticides are oke to be used- so they are *not* pesticidefree!
When I get my bird I will switch over
The bird I might be adopting is being fed the zupreem fruit blend could I mix them or maybe use natural colour from fruit to try and get the bird to eat your pellets
Awesome video great advice I will definitely try those pellets I had a quick question what aviaries do you recommend for outside? Also do you have aviaries at your moms house?
My aviaries are from customcages.com and cornerslimited.com - I prefer corners unlimited because the quality of materials went way down with CC.
BirdTricks thank you so much I noticed you have this kinda net that you use for free flight training is that homemade or can you purchase it somewhere
@@janevelen173 I have a batting cage from Amazon that I use for flight training but I don't leave the birds in it unattended www.amazon.com/shop/birdtricks
Are these the same as the Feed Your Flock pellets from around 2014? I'm interested but a bit afraid to try them because I think we got a bad batch back then, two healthy birds died, the response from Bird Tricks was that there was no way it was the pellets but that they'd check it out with the supplier.
❤
What is the difference between your pellets and TOPs?
Copying from an above comment (as far as i can tell, there may be more but the biggest difference I see is the price),
The only difference is the BT label adds another 14$ plus shipping that depends on where you are (+12$ for me upon just checking for a total of 72$... 26$ more than TOPS just for the brand). But anyway, you still get the nutrition of the birdtricks diet, so you're all set :)
----I just checked right now and for a BT 8 pound bag its 60$ w/o shipping, and 2x 4 pound bags of TOPS for 46$ (shipping included).
That's using the official topsparrotfood.com and birdtricksstore.com sites; you can get TOPS w/o shipping that sometimes comes out cheaper depending on where you live on birdsafestore and other places. birdsafestore.com has a 10 lbs bag of TOPS for 34$...which comes out to 20$ shipping for me...which is still cheaper than BT's 8 lbs bag O_O'

I bought these pellets to give to my baby conure and the vet was skeptical because she didn’t see how they were formulated. She gave me a free bag of Harrison’s Adult Life Time Fine, but they’re so hard my little guy can’t even crack into them.
These are cold pressed, never baked or heated. All the ingredients are on the bag itself.
Oh SOOOooooo NOT happy just found out that we can not get this shipped to Australia, ANY ideas of what I can get here that is anywhere near compatible for my Sulpur Crested Cockatoo who is 2yrs old.
I would love to buy them but I live in germany😢 and I don't know if that's even possible
Is it okay to give my cockatiel scrambled eggs (no salt or anything just plain scrambled eggs) and coconut oil?
Do you ship to Alaska? And how long do the bags last after opened?
How long do they stay fresh if not frozen but immediately put in air tight containers?
How do these pellets compare to TOPS pellets... anyone have any thoughts?
how long would a 25 pound bag last a conure and 2 quakers and a umbrella cockatoo
Absolutely can't get my parrot to eat these pellets. No amount of coaxing works. It seems its the color and shape because she has only been fed Zupreem Fruit colorful pellets mixed in water. Yuk. So easy fix though, adding them in birdy bread instead of flour and ground almonds. She is eating exclusively from your bird diet books after 4 months. She is finally gaining weight and has started to fly at last. She is 10 and is a umbrella cockatoo. THANK YOU!
Some owners have an easier time switching from Zupreem fruit blend to Zupreem natural, to Roudybush to ours. It can be a process sometimes!
Hi I live Sydney Australia and have 2 male eclectus and 2 budgies. What pellet would you recommend for them that is available in Australia
Hello.
It is not possible for me to give my birds pellets as they are not available here. Are there any other alternatives that I can try?
Would you guys consider setting up a distribution point for Australia? I would love to start using your pellets, but shipping is a bit too steep for me.
Buy TOPS, same quality pellet. They have at least one local distributor there, i think the distributor JUST started shipping them too.
Hi this is Jesús from Spain, I’d like to ask you if it’s possible for you to deliver your pellets to my country. Since then, I’ve kept using Harrison’s (the green one), as it was my vet recommended one, however; I’ve just realized there are plenty of ingredients in it I struggle when reading them 🤣🤣
Are there other alternatives that are similar to your pellets? Or would you say your pellets are one of a kind?
Is this the same product sold by TOPS? The ingredients are identical & in the same order. I see Marlene McCohen has partnered with TOPS & is offering pellets w/ seeds mixed in.
Iam from Australia and I like this pellets . Can u please tell me how to order this pellets
Should the pellets be kept in the freezer or frig?
@birdtricks Jaimie and Dave is there going to be larger size bag in the future for the multi households?
Larger than the 25lb bag?
@@BirdTricks All I saw was the 4lb bag when I looked on your page earlier, I will look again♡ If more questions arise I will D.M. you♡ Thank you so very much🐦🦜🐤🐥. Leah
Ps..
I guess the other thing to consided is keeping product fresh. I have a food vault that I keep the food in now.
My bird will eat it some if I feed it out of my hand but he will pick it out of all of his other food or not touch it on its own. Oh, you finniky little fella.
Are these available through other resellers? The shipping to Australia is monstrous and about $39 for the 4lb bag 🙈
Hi I am thinking about getting cockatiel. What is the average amount of pellets for an active adult? 🦜🦜
Can you suggest the best pellet to buy Australia
I just received a small bag to test out with my new addition (a sun conure) i am picking up in just a few days!!! :) this will be my youngest bird ever. It will be 12 weeks when i pick it up (not yet gender tested) do you have any advice about feeding such a young bird, portions/introducing foods. I also received your natural feed system as well im excited to used these foods :)
With young small birds I try to offer as much variety in textures, shapes and temps as possible to give them so they can explore their foods. Sometimes food that resembles baby food works really well too like steamed sweet potato and such. Softer, mushier foods.
BirdTricks thank you so much! Went shopping and picked up a bunch of fresh veggies and will prep in the morning because i pick the baby up in the afternoon! :)
Can you feed eclectus with it?
Can u make this available in Australia pretty please 💚
TOPS (same pellets/quality/cold pressed different brand) has a local distributor in Austrlia :)
I bought the pellets a while ago and I’m still having the hardest time getting my ringneck to convert to pellets. He’s such a picky eater!
Mix whatever they're eating with a little of the pellets and gradually increase the pellets you add in overtime
jamesrei that’s what I have been doing. He throws them out of his dish no matter how small I break them up😭 I got him as a rescue and his diet has been the biggest struggle. He doesn’t care for most fresh fruits/vegetables or anything.
Have you tried using birdie bread recipes, or other recipes to hide the pellets in? They powder so you can easily hide them in other foods.
BirdTricks I haven’t yet. Only because he shows absolutely no interest in people food either. For a first bird he’s been a tough one as far as diet goes. I offer him fresh foods every single day hoping he will realize he will like it.
How long are the pellets good for after opening?
Do they have to be freeze in the original packing or can they frozen in a food saver bags.
I'm wanting to order the 25lb bag for 1 bird.
Hello Jerrica, Ashlyn here. You can definitely freeze them to keep them longer!! We try not recommending more than a year, even with freezing, but if it was around a year that would work :)
Hi I’m thinking about getting a bird and wondering how much pellets to give them in the morning after you weigh them. Does it depend on the bird?
Cheerios_Honey yes it depends on the bird and their activity level 💚
Hi BirdTricks family! Where are the ingredients sourced and where are they pressed? Can you share the manufacture?
I also did look for this information.
They look like TOPS. What is the difference?
