I will admit that even as a long-time bird owner I wasn't giving my sweet Cockatiel the best life possible. When I learned there was so much more I went out and bought Zupreem natural pellets to convert her over from an all seed diet. It took her a week. Then I bought the BT pellets and it took her 3 days to eat them over Zupreem. Haven't looked back since because training with treats makes life so much easier for us both!
Your videos have this lovely chaotic vibe lately and I love it! 😄 omg these birds of yours! 💛🦜 So adorable! 🤗 So fun to watch them be their birdy-messy selves!
I laughed so hard when Tusa and Comet rolled in like super chill 😊 Comet's stroll across the field of pellets had me laughing tears 😂
When I got my 25 yr old Grey 2 years ago he had only ever had black sunflower seeds as a diet. He is now switch to BT Feeding System in the morning and TOPS pellets at night (we did try BT pelleta but he was not a fan). He had never been to the vet until I got him and she is beyond pleased with his over all health and progress from the switch.
I live in australia and I’m happy to pay overseas shipping just because these people are like angels of parrots! Love love love their knowledge passion and detailed helpful videos for birds❤️ Happy to be purchasing from them!
I just wanted to tell you thank you for everything you guys do to make lives better for all parrots and birds.
You're truly a blessing. I've ordered some of your products, such as bird training and tricks, after I first got my beautiful son Taco about 10 years ago, a little Green Cheek Conure and enjoyed every video as we learned together watching them. I recently lost my beloved Taco, he's in the thumbnail account photo, on Sept 2nd 2022 just 3 weeks ago (It's now September 25th 2022, my birthday) and it seems like it literally just happened moments ago. He was going to be 12 years old on December 15th. He died cuddled next to my neck where he loved to sleep when I was laying down watching videos. I did everything I could to save him, $800+ dollars in medical bills alone, that I'm still having to make payments on but I'd have given any amount to save him, I didn't care how much it cost.
He is literally a piece of my soul. Some would probably say that we had an "unhealthy relationship" because he basically lived on my shoulder. The only time he was in his cage was either when I wasn't home which is rarely (and even still I have security cameras inside to keep and eye on him) or if I was sleeping. He got cold bottled water every morning and was completely and utterly spoiled. I have never felt a love like I had with my little fella, not even for another human. He took a piece of my soul with him when he passed, here it is three weeks later and I still cry every single day, I cry myself to sleep and I cry when I wake up and walk into the living room to a now empty cage. I made him popsicle stick houses, climbing toys out of bamboo skewers... he even knew to fly to his cage to poop. He loved when my mom visited and he had a special call he reserved only for her. It completely devastated my mother when my baby flew home to heaven.
My boyfriend said he's never seen any animal with as much personality or one who loved his human as much as Taco loved me, he wants me to get grief counseling and he also wants me to get another companion parrot, not another Green Cheek but maybe a Caique, for one reason, he lives in Massachusetts and I live in N.C., alone. My Taco was my life, I'm in tears now just typing this. I'd like another friend but not a baby or young parrot because I turned 48 today and I don't want to outlive my friend and have him go through the trauma of having a new companion when it's my time to go. I think I'm typing most of this just as a release to let out some of the pain so I'm sorry if I upset anyone who reads this but I also guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't own your pet, they own you... if you really truly love them. My sweet love of my life brought me more happiness than any amount of money or material possession ever could. I wouldn't trade the time we had together for anything. You truly are rich beyond your wildest dreams if you have the love we shared together. The only thing that comes close to describing our relationship was the movie Golden Compass where your animal is quite literally part of your spirit and soul. I have high functioning autism, so expressing emotions "properly" is a great struggle for me.
Thank you Jamieleigh and your Husband for being hero's to all parrot owners who, through learning from you guys, can all give our loved companion's a better life.
Sorry to bring up the subject to the front of your head again but how are you coping with it now?
it’s been 2 years since my chicken got eaten by a fox I still miss her dearly and know exactly everything but I only had her for 5 years not 12 (btw Taco is so cute!)
I lost my conure, Buddy, 2 weeks ago on January 8th. He was 10. It’s painful, I’ve been crying every day. He was my little guy, he was my happiness. I bought another conure hoping it would ease the pain, but the grief is too much.
@@RaidenGlory You might go through a stage of where you'll resent your new one for not being the one you lost. Please just love him that's all he wants, he can't help what you went through and doesn't have a clue. Just go slow and don't expect much or anything at all for that matter and you just might be surprised. Good luck and I'm so sorry!
@@LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeeps I do not resent Peanut at all. Little guy is still adjusting. He’s very skittish. Even the lady who was tending to him tried to talk me out of getting him. I brought him home anyways and I’m taking it slow with him.
@@LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeepsI do not resent Peanut at all. I understand it’s a slow process. Trying to take it one day at a time. He’s a very picky eater and will only eat seeds, heck he doesn’t even go near the nutriberries I try to put in his dish since they got some pellets in him. Getting him used to me, and trying to get him on the right diet is gonna be very tough.
I just bought a sample of y’all’s pellets and the feeding system. My birds already love it!
It's so interesting to see the similarities between the BT feeding system for pets and how we care for wild birds in rehabilitation settings.
I am a 100% bird tricks customer. We've had your toys, we have your cookbooks, we eat your bertrick pellets, and the bird tricks birdie bread. We are also on your patreon, I have purchased your training courses bundle so I have all the training courses Plus the ones that have been added on. In other words we love you.
It’s really refreshing to see you mention reading the ingredients because for some reason in the dog food communities they are very against reading the ingredients or avoiding any ingredients the dog isn’t allergic too for some very odd reason. And just want the foods to be trusted basically because the makers know more than a regular person could in their opinions. And it’s very disheartening. What the makers also know is how to make a profit why should we blindly trust?
I agree lots of dog owners are buying McDonald's-equivalent pellets (Purina, Iams). But I've actually noticed a bigger trend in that community towards all natural, organic, whole food diets. Especially raw meat, which is what their bodies were designed to eat, like wolves. That's been trending for a few years. However in the parrot community I was shocked to see so many owners and vets encouraging a mainly-pellet diet (no animal's diet should be primarily processed food). And not only is the quantity a problem, but to make matters worse, the quality is also low. Most pellets are just junk food - corn, sugar. It's like giving birds wonder bread with jam.
@@gracecamaxtli7090 And don’t get me wrong, there are concerns with grain free kibble because of what is used instead, but they believe dogs should be on a high portion on grain, not just that they shouldn’t eat too much bean, lentil and legume. It’s bizarre to me!
@@gracecamaxtli7090 And they specifically say NOT to read the ingredients (unless you need to for an allergy), that only the guaranteed analysis should be looked at because people should not be avoiding any ingredient without a specific medical reason for the specific animal. It’s a different world in those groups!
@@gracecamaxtli7090 Somehow my longest comment disappeared, making my other comments not really make sense. I don’t understand why. I took a lot of time writing it. 😞 Why didn’t I at least take a screenshot so I could repost it.
@@animallover5626 that's a shame, I would've liked reading it :( but I think I can still understand your other comments and I agree, it's a huge problem for our beloved pets
I know my pellet brand sucks but what sucks even more is that it's the best I can buy in Australia without paying an unaffordable amount for shipping. I wish there was a cold pressed pellet available in Australia or atleast the shipping of a cold pressed pellet to be affordable.
I try to make up for my crappy pellet by feeding my bird mostly chop.
Thank you so much for making this video. There needs to be more pellet information like this easily available online.
Hi! I might be getting a parakeet soon so I’ve been researching nutrition and care. I have to say thank you! Your content has been so helpful and such a game changer. This will be my first bird I look forward to purchasing your pellets! Finally bird food that’s reliable with perfect reviews! I’m so excited, I wouldn’t be doing this without your channel.
Have you gotten your parakeet yet I’d love to hear how if fells to be owned by one!
I feed Tops pellets...alfalfa leaf, millet, rice, sunflower seeds, sesame seed, quinoa, pumpkin and buckwheat plus lots more. My GCC loooooves her pellets so much. I've learned so much from you. I bailed out on Harrisons because of you. I use your cookbooks, feeding systems and tiny toys. I really appreciate you all.....and yes the birdie bread recipe is awesome. Brilliant idea to save pellet dust in the bread....yay!
Same I've asked them about hagen Harri pellets I was using before but Hari has peanuts in it. I asked Bird Tricks and they told me TOP's is good - ok I assumed it but after talking to them I've decided to start feeding TOP's, and man...Bruno my Quaker loooooves those pellets. I still have leftover Harri I am using as a treat, but he eats TOP's like vacuum cleaner. Now I wonder if i am not feeding too much. But he really loves it and his feathers started to be shinier - although he is just 1yo so he is still molting some of his old, grayer feathers.
@@Nika44 yes Tops plus BT feeding system is a game changer
I tried tops but my birds hated it.
Harrisons used to be a great pellet with millet and spirulina. They changed their formulas a while back and now their maintenance formula is corn and soy based like the rest, albeit Harrisons uses organic soy and corn (given the new normal that non-organic soy and corn produced in the USA is all GMO and so contains foreign lectins and also is specifically grown with drenching with Roundup, there is a huge danger of feeding non-organic). Long term, I fear that the corn/soy diet is detrimental to parrots even if organic. My parrots hated the taste of the new formula and refuse to eat Harrisons maintenance formula. They do eat the high intensity formula which now is kind of like the original, maintenance formula (but with corn and soy thrown in for profit margin). I now buy the high intensity formula but only now use it as a supplement to fresh veggie chop and a dehydrated veggie/flower mix I blend myself with some nuts and seeds. I also offer Tops/Birdtricks pellets but my parrots prefer the Harrisons. Summary is that the most vibrant pet parrots are on a fresh veggie based diet supplemented with pellets, nuts and seeds which is the opposite of what the avian veterinarians preach which is a 70 to 100% pellet diet with a bit of greens and seeds.
I feed TOPS to my lovebirds but they still don't eat them
Thank you for making this video! I appreciate the encouragement. Not giving up!
Thanks for another great video! Parrot nutrition is so interesting :)
Such a cute video!! We love your pellets!
That intro was hilarious!
I feed psittacus. First five are Cereal grains and products derived thereof, oil seeds, oil fruits and products derived thereof, vegetable oils (high oleic sunflower, refined linseed), dried whole egg
I'm talking out of my ass right now, but maybe that's too oily for parrots? I can't imagine that much of their diet in the wild has much oil (can't eat avocadoes) although nuts are fatty... Maybe their bodies aren't equipped to process and digest a lot of fat? Not criticising though because what you're feeding is better than most bird owners traditionally give them
my pellets say: corn, rice, oats, soy and peanuts. No sugar or oils, though. It's really impossible to get good pellets in Germany, those were the best options. They are cold pressed and organic though and my birdies don't get much of them. I mostly feed fresh veggies mixed with a bit of dried veggies to soak up moisture. I would love to buy your pellets, but shipping is hefty to europe...
You can get the Tops pellets in The Netherlands, so maybe also in Germany? These are better than most pellets :)
This channel is so underrated!
It's so funny seeing Olivia and Berry together. My budgie is soo bossy to my cockatiel and canary. So seeing Berry get told off by Olivia seems so odd. I've noticed budgies can be relentless though 🤣
I'm using trill nutrivit for budgerigar mix. First 5 ingredients are White french millet, panorama millet, canary seed, wheat/cracked wheat, canola seed
Hey, I’m trying to transfer my grandparents budgies to pellets, but I cant afford a lot of brands! Would ZuPreem Natural Bird Food work? I’m getting the one without the colorful dyes
The first five ingredients in my birds pellets are: Alfalfa leaf, millet, barley, sunflower seeds. Sound familiar? 😁 I just got my two little parakeets and just got all of the stuff to make their seasonal meals and will be doing so tomorrow. They are already on the seed mix. Their toys will be here in the morning!!! Also can't wait to make some yummy treats with the two birdie bread mixes!
How did you get your buggies to eat palettes I have 6 and they just won’t eat it they though it out of their bowls
@@trinidadespinoza4247 It's a process, especially if your budgies are not familiar with pellets. All that can be done is to slowly try (I say try because some birds will just be very stubborn) to wean them onto pellets by introducing small amounts with their current food and then slowly decreasing current food with increasing amounts of pellets.
I just rescued an umbrella cockatoo no age known on a commercial diet just ordered your palette Friday waiting for them to come in the mail can't wait to go down this journey
I feed my bird only the best! Of course, that's the Birdtricks pellets! He is also on the natural feeding system and is very healthy.
Dogs are the same way.... My dog food for a 10 kg box costs $200.. Its a dehydrated raw. meat is the first 2 ingredients followed by rice and barley as my dogs do well on grains then fruits and veggies.
Have you been watching Dr. Creen’s video’s about pellets? On Mikey and Mia’s channel and on Sophie the Bird Nerd? He mentioned pellets not being the end all be all that people have been pushing for a few years now
Mine say Alfalfa,hulled millet,barley,rice,sunflower seed hulled,A feed Marlene mcC signature blend and its made by tops,
Forgot to say they also get Birdtricks seasonal feeding,and am just waiting on all the ingredients for Blueberrys seed mix to come Friday 29th Apr,
I have 5 Budgies all rescue 2 Cockatiels kinda rescued,A just want the best for them,
Recommendations for those of us outside of America?
I think the only comparable food I can get in Canada is the TOPS brand.
We love the Bird Tricks feeding system! My GCC is obsessed with your pellets and all his veggies.
I just had my 6yo budgie Angel at the vet for possible arthritis. Her vet was impressed by her diet. No signs of fatty liver disease. I feed Tops pellets and a modified version of your seasonal feeding system. I have food allergies so some things like beets are off our list.
I’d love to buy your pellets but I live in Australia - can anyone give me a next best thing for those of us that can’t access these? There are also supply issues with tops in Australia so they are out too unfortunately
Sadly there are nowhere near enough options out there for bird owners! Since not many people own them and little is researched and known about their dietary needs in captivity, I guess. :( maybe you'd have better luck creating your own dry mixes of the ingredients found in pellets for the same effect? Grains, oats, alfalfa leaf etc..? Not sure, but best of luck to you, hope you find a brand that's at least mostly healthy 🙏
Hey, I love my birds but, I unfortunately live in New Zealand and the shipping prices are insane so I can’t afford the pellets :( I am currently feeding my cockatiels roudybush pellets but it contains heaps of corn and soy
Alfalfa leaf, millet, barley, rice, sunflower seeds
PLease please find a way to ship internationally! All of the pellets available in Canada , even the vet recommended ones are all corn and soy based and so many international bird lovers WANT your pellets! I would buy them if i only could for my beloved budgies and my cuddly little conure!
It's soo hard to find proper pellets without sugar.
Harrison’s High Potency Coarse Organic-Sunflower Kernels, Hull-less Barley, Soybeans, Peanut Kernels, Lentils, Corn, Brown Rice, Toasted Oat Groats, Alfalfa, Psyllium, Calcium Carbonate, Bentonite, Mixed Tocopherols(source of vitamin E, Sea Kelp, Salt, Algae Meal and a whole lot more ingredients!!
Ooooh this was soooo helpful thank you!
I just made a chop inspired by ingredients of TOP’s/Birdtricks pellets, used the SFS book as my ratio reference and my bird is going to town on it, can’t get a good pellet locally just want to let you guys know that if you’re determined and do the research and study you can find ways around it. I wonder if birdtricks and Dr. Jason Crean has strong opinions about each other but both has amazing information that might blow your mind for a while before you get to understand what you can really do to overcome the challenges, when you get it you can feed yourself better too! Yum! Did few month of rigorous bird nutrition research now - it incredibly was mind straching.
Just ordered our first bag of your pellets ! While watching this video! 😊
My pellets are corn, corn starch, red beet, turmeric
Somewhat unrelated to topic - I really like the editing done on this video. Personally/artistically I think it emphasis the humor. i.e. do you know how hard it is to talk, blueberry please come down, Comet walking all over the food, sweeping up food, soy band... etc.
I heard your pellets are tops, just rebranded
GMO is forbidden in Norway, too.
Hi !! I literally just pause your video so I can go online and order the pellets before I forgot!! I have a conure and two cockatiels I will be switching them to these pellets I'm afresh food feeding system they currently eat a veggie mix I make when I say eat they pick out certain things and don't eat the rest lol I also feel like the smaller birds are a lot more pickier I have tried pellets in the past and I have never been able to get them to eat it.. but I will do my best I have watched tons of your videos and how to do it wish me luck!! ❤
I really appreciate this video! Who knows if it's the reason of me asking you per E-Mail where to get Pellets equally good as yours in germany hahaha I am very glad you and your team answered me SUPER quick which lead me to buying TOP's Pellets! I really appreciate what you do! Although my two Amazones aren't really eating them rn, at least the male nibbles on them from time to time! Can't mix them into any other foods they like, because they just don't know themselves what they like rn :( They come from conditions where they never learned what fresh food or water for bathing is! But they are doing better now and getting adjusted a tiny bit more every day ♥
ZuPreem Naturals - size large. I tried those small ones but most of it goes to waste. It's a shame that the higher quality food doesn't come in an appropriate size for large Greys & Amazona, & Cockatoos.
Can you ship to Canada. Love your content
My cockatiels and green cheek conures don’t like the Tops pellets because they are green. They won’t eat them. They like Lefeber avicakes and Top’s bird seed for small birds, and Lefeber tropical fruit pellets.
My Sydney bird is a Timneh African Grey and he is currently on Harrison's High Potency Coarse and he LOVES them. They're very pricey pellets but worth it in my opinion. I thought about going with your pellets or TOPs but I'm currently fighting with him to eat more vegtables (even with your feeding system). From my research, it appeared that Harrison's filled in more of the gaps in his diet from our battles to get him to eat more veggies.
The top five ingredients in his pellets are: Sunflower Kernels, Hull-less Barley, Soybeans, Peas, Peanut Kernels
All of which are certified organic.
My parrotlet is currently on Harrison’s high potency coarse as well, I was wondering if you had changed pellet brands after 3 months of posting this comment?
@FuzzyTruffle They make their own pellets and they are wonderful!!
@@FuzzyTruffle I haven't! Although I did introduce TOPS as well a few months back to diversify his diet a bit. He is iffy in the TOPS but my God does he love his Harrison's. He gets SO excited everytime I give him his pellets and he always picks out all the Harrison's first thing lol.
That stuff is crazy expensive but it's worth it for my little boy. It makes him so happy!
So I listen to this whole spiel and I can't get the pellets here in Canada.
I make my own..... Barley, TOASTED soybeans, Sunflower Kernels, Peas, Lentils, Oat Groatd, Brown Rice, Chia, Alfalfa, Sea Kelp, Algae Meal and a little Sunflower oil.
I’m from Iraq. It’s hell getting parrots to eat a healthy diet. No pellets here. Only seeds and they end up raising most on just sunflower seeds. It’s a nightmare getting them to switch to vegetables/seed diet I wish there were pellets here😩
My first five ingredients is safflower, white millet, oats, wheat, sunflower seeds
I laughed sooo hard at the beginning!
Is it true that African gray parrots, in particular, can develop liver issues from consuming alfalfa pellets?
Top 5
alfalfa leaf* millet* barley * rice *sunflower seeds
It is so hard to get tops in Australia!!!
Years ago I tried to order your pellets to give my flock, and at that time they wouldn't ship to Canada. I see now they are available to my country, but I'm not willing to pay $42.00 for a bag of pellets and an additional $40.67 just for shipping. This of course is before any taxes and duty. So I'd be looking at approximately $100 for one bag of pellets! It sure would be nice if feeding our pets a healthy diet was feasible. I guess it's just like humans - junk food is much cheaper and abundant/everywhere.
That’s why I’d avoid all pet foods period,except for raw organic foods,particularly for carnivores like cats dogs and ferrets. There is so much garbage on the market and it’s almost impossible to find decent food without it costing a fortune.
I actually think the sweet/ colored ones can be used to introduce birds to existing pellets and make the switch easier, once they are on the pellets you can cut back on the colored ones / or ones with sugar just redducd and replace it with good quality pellets no sugar or colors
Great, I've been feeding my bird probably the worst thing possible. Thanks store clerk for the "High quality" recommendation.
It sucks living in Australia and can’t get your pellets or tops pellets 😢
Received my 2nd bag after loving the first but pellets in 2nd bag came crumbled or close to crumbling so not sure if it's ok? Help!
this food or tops?
Can't get cold pressed pellets into my country, prohibited food item, sucks :( . Best I can get is Harrisons.
Maize,wheat prime gluten soya and vegetable oil is the ingredient in the pellets I give my parrots
genuine question abou tthe seeds i buy from the store, going to make some diet canges, any infio from people on sunburst gourmet blend?
I live in Australia and I find it so so difficult to get access to healthy pellets for my parrot. I used to get Tops for awhile, but now I can't find it absolutely anywhere. Boarder controls are so strict here that they won't let any of it in. You also can't get Harrison's here or any of the other big name healthy brands. Currently I am feeding her Hagen Tropican, which I like because it doesn't contain sugar or pumped with food colouring but it's still not the best. The first ingredient is corn 😓
Some of the most popular brands here is Vetafarm and forage. Vetafarm is filled with sugar and fake flavours and colouring and forage is just seeds. If there's any Aussies in the comment section and you have an advice for where I can find another option please let me know ☺️
What does cold pressed even mean?
Alfalfa leaf, millet, barely, rice, sunflower seeds
So are there any European pellet brands good enough for parrots since u don't ship internationally?
I’m not sure if TOPS pellets ship to Europe or not but there pretty good
I've tried your pellets before, unfortunately, i got through the whole bag and it didn't take. So i switched to Harrison's, which is much more similar to birdseed and they took to that quite quickly, i assume because it is the same size and shape as millet.
Booo it’s so hard to get good pellets in aus THERE IS NONE. Whyyyyyyy 😢
Ok Jamieleigh, I feed Harrisons. Corn,Hull-less Barley,toasted Soybean,,peas,lentils. I have watched you long enough to believe what you say. Where do I go from here?
Do you guys have any recommendations for pellet brands available in Australia? Unfortunately all of the brands that are stocked here contain all of the ingredients you mentioned :(
feed Zupreem at the moment T.T i feel like these arent bird foods :O Ground corn, Soybean meal, Ground wheat, Wheat germ meal, Sugar
6:49 the real question is what happened to the conure
GMO doesnt acctually mean anything its as natural aa anything else. Its basically how we’ve grown all things for ages, as as soon as we started planting things. It in no way means something specific that could somehow be bad.
Im sure the food is great but the GMO claim shows a worrying level of lack of education about the topic which may make ppl vary about trusting all the other info.
Trill is a great brand they sell seed pellets training millet birthday treats oats and all of it is great even the seed has way less fat than normal it has dried leaves and flowers and chewing sticks and of course the best freshest seed but my birds are on a trill pellets! and there budgies
challenge accepted! *pulls out bag of bird tricks pellets*
Can you help me to find a good brand in France?
I tried about 20 years ago to put my parrot on Harrisons...No go...he eats seed and fruit and veggies..help..
Apparently a lot of Birds don't like Harrison, soo it would be best to try another brand.
🌸💜🦜😂🌈🦸🏼♀️🌈😂🦜💜🌸
As mentioned before, I don’t even have any pet birds. I just love watching your videos because you guys have such a beautiful energy and I find your approach and knowledge very informative. Same with this video…
it has your trademark "let’s do this" and fun feel. Perfect to watch while I start my day!
I have no birds, either. But love your channel🥰
what do you think about tops pellets?
Hey guys, please help me out here! Im thinking of getting a cockatiel in a few months, but I can't find any pellets around the pets store in my country. What should I do? Is there anyy replacements? Can my bird have a veggie seed diet? (I do know they cant have an all seed diet)
Any replies would help me out so much so please comment
确定
So I have a question, is this pellet mix good for a cockatiel who needs to be on a lower fat diet? My tiel is naturally a good egg layer, tried all the tips and tricks to stop it and it's come down to diet(which has come a long way!). My vet recommended low fat diet and I'm finding it really hard to find a pellet mix that is low fat and a good brand. Thanks to anyone who can help!
There is no processed food that does not have a preservative in them.
Hey bird tricks I have a quick question, are tops pellets good for parakeets and medium sized birds because I feed all three of my birds pellets or I’m converting them onto it
The ingredients of BirdTricks pellets and Tops are exactly the same. My cockatiel has been on Tops since he was a baby. The Tops brand also has a variety of pellet sizes to choose from if your birds are picky about that. As Jamie says though, the little birds can eat the larger pellets.
hulled gray millet,hull-less barley, corn, toasted soybeans,peanut kernels..
im confused.. are these pellets now bad for birds..??
How do I order your pellets? I've been feeding Nutriberries for years!
Waaaahhhhhh im sad you can't ship internationally 😢😢😢😭😭😭
How do I get some of that food for my cockatoo
My bird is on a seed diet I can’t get her to change
1:Millet
2:Sunflower seeds
3:Oat Groats
4:Safflower seeds
5:Canary Grass Seed
6:Wheat
7:Buckwheat
8:Ground Corn
9:Ground Wheat
10:Ground Oat Groats
I have been trying for almost two years now to get my parrots on Tops. They both came to me as rescues addicted to Zupreem. What stinks is they get so moody on good food until I cave and give them their Zupreem. And birds will literally starve themselves, so I’m really just riding the struggle bus haha
OMG same! I have a greenwing macaw who is OBSESSED with Zupreem Natural. We're only about 3 weeks into trying to convert her to Tops. She doesn't like them at all. She will either pick around them or grab them and drop them on the floor. She doesnt even attempt to bite into one. Its like shes addicted to the Zupreem (literally). However, i did a 50/50 of Tops and Zupreem and ground them in a coffee grinder, mixed that with some water until it was a dry paste consistency and she ate it no problem. So im hoping over time i can gradually reduce the amount of Zupreem and slowly add chunks of the whole Tops pellets in there. I also sprinkle some Tops powder over her daily chop and sprouts.
@@AllisonTaitano I’m going to give that a try! I’ve been experimenting with grinding both but I never thought to add water! Thank you!!!
If I had to guess I think tops is exactly the same as birdtricks pellets because the labels are identical. My budgie has been a year trying to convert him and I was told to get the birdie bread mix because it's mostly those pellets and that has helped a lot. He loves the bread and because of that he does pick up the pellets but I have to mash some of them up. If it's just straight pellets he won't even bother but if I crush some of them he will pick at it and eat some... but crushing some and pouring it over the seasonal breakfast and also using the birdie bread will help them to where they start liking the pellets a bit
@@stephaniesingleton146 I’ll give that a try too!!! My birds hated the birdie bread no matter what yummy ingredients I threw in there. I’ll mash a few though! Thank you!!!
@@Odiekins You're welcome! This morning i used more Tops than Zupreem, made it into a powder and added a little water and mashed up strawberry/apple. She ate it all! Then gave her, her veggies and she ate that too lol. I wish you luck! 🙆♀️
Sunflower kernels, hull-less barley, soybeans, peas, peanut kernels.
I feel like this video is just one long advertisement to promote their own products.
I live in New Zealand. The ONLY pellets we have available raise the red flags you've highlighted.
I have 2 budgies and a quaker that I'm converting/converted to your seasonal feeding system but their pellet options make a mockery of this. 😢
Is TOPS available to you?

@@samlachance1 thank you 😊
What do you feel should I get another budgie
Yes you should definetly have more than 1 budgie. Birds naturally live in flocks and they need companion of their own species. Budgies should live at least in flock of 4 birds.
