"Picky macaw liked these though as with all of her food she wastes a lot before getting to the center part."

— Jenn

"I have ordered these 3 times because I thought something was wrong with the first orders since they had no filling. I just opened the latest one and again, there is no soft filling. I guess this is the norm. I'm not ordering again, as my macaw does not eat them."

Bottom Line

These treats are acceptable as an occasional snack for picky birds, but buyers should be prepared for potential durability and quality issues.
