*I mix 1 tablespoon to 1.5 tablespoons of waterOr 2 tablespoons to 3 tablespoons of water. The directions is 1 part mix : 1.5 parts water.In short: Just get it!! Like the reviews say, even the pickiest bird has loved it. So I took a shot and so happy I did!! Here’s how I got her from a seed diet to a healthy pellet mix and Bird Street Bistro. I hope what I’ve done and the steps I’ve taken the time to explain help someone out there with there picky bird!I’ve been working slowly with my Pineapple Conure over 8 months to wean off of an all seed diet. She’s been hard headed and picky! But she had her moments of curiosity. Pay attention to those moments. Even if your bird doesn’t actually eat the fruit or vegetable, notice how long they linger around the given food item even if it’s just being licked for a long time compared to other items you may have offered.The first was getting her onto pellets and picking the right size. I started with the really tasty fruity ones from Zupreem (some people say they’re like junk food, which makes them a great intro to pellets. Who cares if they’re not the best or healthiest. The first goal is to get your bird to accept this new food, so make it the tasty one).I first tried the Conure sized pellets and I learned after some observing she was refusing to eat them b/c they’re way too big and I saw she couldn’t even bite into them. I took a shot at getting budgie sized pellets and offered her 2 pellets to try. It’s a new food so too much at once can be overwhelming. The moment she walked up and grabbed a small pellet, she was able to crush it with her beak, and even tried the second one! So I saw she was willing to incorporate pellets now.Ok. Great. Pellets are now a part of her diet and the seeds can be slowly taken away and used just for treats. I even forgot to buy her seed mix altogether the past month, which happened to play an important role for her eating Bird Street Bistro.. I’ll explain in a little…In the mean time she still has refused fresh chop, or whole fruits and veggies. (That’s okay, we will work up to certain things - some items she would lick for a long time which is still progress compared to completely refusing them or being around them which she used to be like).One day, recently, I tried giving her red pepper flakes and she liked them! That played an important role in choosing the flavor later on. Another time recently her vet gave her Dr. Harrison’s pellets and bc she was used to pellets already, the switch was immediate and easy. That’s why I say don’t worry about the food being the healthiest at first, just get them the tastiest item and get them used to the shape texture size and away from all seed. In time they’ll be able to switch to the really healthy pellets. Just give them time.Ok SOI get on amazon and order more Dr. Harrison’s, Katee’s seed mix, and Bird Street Bistro - specifically the southwest mix bc I already know she loves the red pepper flakes so the choice seemed obvious.That night I took out all of her food from her cage so she would be good and ready for my plan!Next day as soon as I received everything I got it all ready. First I gave her the seed mix in a new shallow metal bowl made for kittens. Ohhh she was screeching in excitement to see her favorite treats after so long! And in a shiny new bowl! I let her snack on it for only a couple minutes and then took it away. I got the bird street bistro ready and laid a nice layer on top of her seed mix. She was so excited for her seed mix, she couldn’t resist, and willing to pick through, which still resulted in her tasting the BSB mix.Normally she has straight up refused to eat if I mixed her foods together with fresh chop, long enough at a time, that I would have to give in to giving her just regular pellets and seed mix.Anyways… She would go to the bowl, take a bite and walk away, and did this a few times until she finally sat and ate. A little later I let her perch on my finger and held the bowl for her and would pretend to eat with her she loved that. I left her alone and hours later when I came back her bowl had obvious large pits of missing food!! She really got into eating it! Seeing her willingness to approach and peck at the food let me feel comfortable in letting that be the only food in her cage I offered her all day. Outside of her cage she had a very small 2 tabkespoons of mixed pellets and seed on top of her perch if she decided that’s what she wanted.But no, she actually was in her cage often today eating through the BSB / seed mix!This is the most exciting thing I’ve seen her do with her diet and how much she loved the food! And the grains look kind of like the shape of millet too so I don’t think it looked too new and foreign for her.This makes me feel confident that our next step may be able to incorporate fresh chop. But that will all come in do time. I am VERY happy with current diet.There’s only a little left of her Zupreem, so that will now be used along with her treats seeing she has accepted Dr. Harrison’s - which will be her main food in her cage all day to eat as she pleases. While the BSB will be offered first thing in the morning with her seed mix. 🙌

This is a very true and honest company. Products are very good have used them for awhile and my birds love the food. Recently I had a package come damaged and I notified them n they replaced with ease. Thank you

❤️ this food and so do my parrots!! Highly recommend. Comes in many varieties :)

I love ALL of Bird Street Bistro's products!They are super simple to prepare, very healthy, delicious, and versatile.I've been buying this brand for years and I cannot tell you how much time it has saved me, but more importantly how easy it makes it for me to get healthy food into my birds' beaks.If you want to make the product last longer, it's really easy to add chopped vegetables in to cook with it. With the "breakfast" selections I usually add fruit like chopped banana, cranberries, shredded apple. For the more savory ones I add a variety of vegetables. Sometimes I get creative and combine different varieties of the food to change it up a but. Like I'll mix the Southern feast with the Cajun Bean and the Apple Berry with the Tropical.It's kind of like having an entire pantry of easy to make healthy foods for the birds. I just hope they never stop making this food. Highly recommend.
