LAFEBER'S Tropical Fruit Gourmet Pellets Pet Bird Food, No Added Sugar, Made with Non-GMO and Human-Grade Ingredients, for Macaws and Cockatoos, 4 lb

I've got 6 very spoiled parrots who are very picky. Oddly enough they go for the Lafeber pellets ahead of the pieces of fruit, veggies and raw peanuts. They're happy, so I'm happy.

These are the best pellets I've given to my cockatoo, I love anything from the Lafeber company. They make such high quality parrot food.

My blue macaw has been on these pellets as the staple diet besides the veggies and fruits etc for almost 10 years. He has a vet checkup annually, and my vet says he's in an excellent health. My bird loves them and wastes very little. I also like the fact that they do not contain unnatural food dyes. I can't speak for the parrot, but I find them not too hard or too soft and crumble nicely when my parrot chews on them.

good

Its notoriously difficult to change parrots' diets. For example, I got my bird to eat home made mash for a while, but it took a lot of effort and eventually after like a year she didn't want it any more.Of all the pellets we have tried over the years, these seem work the best. Other than sunflower seeds, my Cockatoo actually seems to LIKE these, BUT only if they are wet. She dips them in her water bowl and I will find one in the bottom usually that she 'lost' which makes her water kind of dirty.Lately, we have been putting a few pellets in a shallow saucer with a tiny bit of water which they soak up and I have to say, that has been working out well. I am mentioning this for those that are "stuck" with a bucket their parrot 'won't eat' in case it helps.EDIT: I can sympathize though. I just tried the Tropical Fruit flavor (for a month now) and she won't eat those at all. Her favorite pellets are now Hagen Sticks which are so fruity they smell like bubble gum, so I thought these would be a big hit, but no go! So my review above only applies to REGULAR flavor for my parrot.

After trying other pellets, I bought these. They are easy for my conure to eat as he has a deformed beak. He loves them.

I rescued a neglected umbrella cockatoo who’s never been fed a proper diet. Not only does she now have a clean bill of health, feather growth, and is now a healthy weight, she loves these nutritious pellets! Where she would throw other brands of pellets out of her cage, she actually eats these! Excellent value!

I recently took my parrots for a annual check up and was recommended by their vet to start feeding them pellets to transition them for better health, although they are not in poor health, they had a good bill of health from their doctor. I ordered these per recommendation, and I had it in their bowl for several days, but the birds would go to it and toss every pellet out of the bowl onto the floor of their cage. They hated it.. none of my six birds are picky. They practically eat almost anything that I put before them except these pallets.. I will not be wasting my money or force feeding these to my birds ever again I’m going to allow them to live their life out to the fullness and happiness of their current existing diet that I have them on. I think we can all agree that a variety of foods and textures is best for everybody and everything.
