Harrison's Bird Foods High Potency Fine Certified Organic Non GMO Formula Bird Food 1lbUSDA Organic

Exactly what I wanted. Bird already grubbing it down. My Green Cheek Conure seems to like these size pellets more than the next size up. Delivery time could've been quicker- took about a week and a half after order to arrive in my possession.

We got our first bag from our avian vet. Our birds treated this food like treats! (And two are picky elderly boys). Then we bought a variety of high potency fine and pepper and maintenance fine for our sun conure, green cheek and cockatiel. Five one-pound bags lasted us six months.

My avian vet recommended this food for my Quaker parrot.

I was quite reluctant to buy pellets for my pet pigeon. Picking through various seeds and grains with their different tastes, textures, shapes, sizes, colors, etc. is an important part of a captive bird's life. Why would she want to eat a repetitive, homogenous diet any more than I'd like to subsist on nutraloaf? Also, there is research with chickens that shows that birds who eat pellets instead of grains have an atrophied proveniculitus - the organ that helps to grind up seeds with the aid of stones (the grit you should be providing you seed-eating bird). While this is hardly surprising, the research also shows that pellet-fed birds have more harmful bacteria like E.coli, and less beneficial bacteria like lactobacillus in their lower digestive tract. Not a good thing.All that being said, I'll be gone for a month, and wanted to be sure my pigeon would eat a strong balanced diet while I was away and couldn't monitor her exact intake. Since she would be molting then, and also lays two eggs every month, it's crucial that she gets enough protein and calcium. She's a picky one and very conservative, sot he way I usually get her to try new things is by letting in a few of her always- hungry feral pigeon friends to feed on whatever I want her to try. But even that approach is not guaranteed and she needs to see them eat with relish many times before she'll venture to try it herself. Naturally, I though I would have a hard time getting her to eat the pellets. I have noticed she accepts more easily new grains if they are smaller-sized, so I ordered both the high potency fine and extra fine. The extra fine pellets are shaped and sized like millet, which is part of her diet, so I started with those first and was very surprised to see that she loved them straight away - the first time I stretched out my hand she started eating. After she finished the 1lb bag, I offered her the fine, which are the size of milo. She preferred them - clearly, they are the best size for a pigeon, as the company suggests. I offer her an incredibly diverse diet of over 30 different organic-only, human grade seeds, so why feed her pellets that have the same ingredients minus many she's already getting. Well, because she doesn't eat every type of seed just because it's there, and also because she loves the pellets and now expect them. I'm still ambiguous about pelleted diets, so I still don't feed her pellets only, but they contriburet for an even more varied feeding experience. They are like a treat of which she can have as much as she wants. I also have a lot of feral pigeon visitors that I feed and they have a range of reactions to the pellets: from not wanting to touch them to fighting over them over all the other seeds. I notice the females tend to be the ones that really, really like them. Perhaps it’s the calcium content they are responding to. I have bought specially made pigeon pellets for them before, but they don’t like them nearly as much as the Harrison’s.If you are looking to switch your bird to pellets, I feel you can’t do better the Harrison's, at least according to my pigeon. Since I've been offering her the pellets, she has gained weight. Initially I was quite happy, now I'm not so sure. She doesn't have a cage so can get all the exercise she cares to get, but I may have to start restricting her intake, as right now food is on offer all the time.I got the pellets from Bird Depot through Amazon with free super saver shipping. They arrived fast, but the extra fine bag was within only one month of expiration, and that is not good enough when it comes to food, so my next order was directly from Harrison's and smelled amazingly deliciously fresh. The free shipping here is nice, but Harrison's price is lower so it worked out to be the same.

Good delivery with item intact. Delivery on time. My parrots love this healthy food.
