"Birds are so picky over their pellets but I do see them eat some of the pellets finally. Found a brand they somewhat like."

— Heidi

"Smells stale my birds would not touch it, even my neighbors chickens did not eat it and they eat everything, also package says not for resale yet I paid 1.00$ per bag the ad said buy three get one free doesn't that mean I should have gotten 4? No problem it didn't go over well at all, sorry"

Bottom Line

Not ideal for larger birds, the sample pouch size is good for a trial but not cost effective for long-term feeding.
