Oh good! My birds love pellets too. Luckily, they aren’t too picky with brands. Seems like Danny has an eye for the expensive stuff.

My birds also love pellets. I feed a mix of TOPs, Harrison’s, and Roudybush to my flock. I used to feed ZuPreem Fruit Blend but then switched because I didn’t like the artificial dyes and flavors.

Just FYI, TOPS is not a professionally formulated brand like the others. It's aimed at people who are more interested in "natural" than nutritional balance. Some important nutrients are completely missing, and the amount of the others is unknown. You'd get the same results from putting together your own 'kitchen sink' blend of healthy foods without really understanding what nutrients are in them, and this mix would at least be fresh. For anybody who's interested, Nutriberries are formulated for nutritional completeness, and most birds love them because they look like seedball treats instead of conventional pellets. The company is very good about sending free samples, at least to people in North America. All you have to do is email them and tell them your address and what size you're interested in: https://lafeber.com/contact-lafeber-co/

as I remember, some people on this forum reported that Nutriberries were more wasted than consumed. I used to be crushing them for my birds. They seemed to be interested but the pellets stayed in the bowl at the end.
What about Pretty Bird - are they professionally formulated? We like them. I also feed Roudybush crumbles but at this time I am out and don't have extra money so they eat just Pretty birds.

There's a lot of false rumors flying around about menadione, which is a form of Vitamin K. It's perfectly safe as long as you don't take an overdose of 1,000 times the normal amount, and it's the only form of Vitamin K that's approved for use in pet food. It's the foundation of both Vitamin K1 and K2, and it's made in the body when the body is transforming K1 from the diet into K2. If you want the technical details, I have an article section about it here: http://www.littlefeatheredbuddies.com/i ... #menadioneThere are people out there who hate pellets and grab onto any excuse they can find to scare people away from them, and that's basically what the hysteria about menadione is about. But it isn't actually a problem.
