Highlighted Reviews

"My sun conure took to it immediately. Smells great too."

— William

"The mixture was mostly the same seed. Lots of it was crushed into dust particles. They changed the mix which is no where the quality it used to be. Very disappointed and I will look to buy from somewhere else next time."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a gourmet bird food, this might be a good option, but be prepared for potential changes in the mix and your bird's preferences.
