We have always tried to find good value, but not at the expense of poor quality, or food that our birds don't seem to relish. Over years, we've tried many different food blends, but after finding and first using the Volkman Avian Science Foods some three years ago, we have used no other blended food. Our African Grey gets a combination of this African Grey food and sunflower seeds, and our Macaw gets a combination of the the Volkman Macaw food and pistachios. Both birds enjoy the food and maintain great appearance and health. This is not inexpensive food--and at times it can be limited supply. We have used three different suppliers over time (including desertcart), because it is not always consistently in stock at all places. I would welcome a little lower price--more in line with other more common foods--but they simply don't match the quality or are as well-liked by our birds, so I pony up the money to buy the Volkman. I have found this food to be consistently fresh and the same high-quality blend, sack after sack. All-in-all, based on our experience I can highly recommend this food for your parrots; I think it's worth the extra challenge and cost to locate and buy.

The vet says my Moms bird Poppy is chubby and needs to cut back on the sunflower seeds.** A: This seed mix is mostly safflower, which is better than sunflower. If your bird is eating too many sunflower seeds, I would suggest switching to a safflower blend, as Birdsafe Store mentioned. Higgins Safflower for Parrots or Volkman Hookbill would be good choices. Neither of these has the high fat sunflower seed. They are also good choices for Amazon Parrots, which tend to have trouble as they get older with higher fat diets. **Q: Is this only for African Greys and Amazons or can I give it to a Goffins cockatoo too?** A: My Goffins eat everything that my Amazons eat. They both love this mix except for the corn. They have never liked dry corn. But they especially love safflower seeds! **Q: Is this food a treat for parrots or a main meal like pellets?** A: Thank you for your question. This is a main diet for African Grey Parrots and other similarly sized parrots. BirdDog Depot is one of the few approved sellers of Avian Science and offers the freshest Volkman Avian Science seed mixes shipped FACTORY DIRECT to Amazon's warehouses so you can get the freshest food possible for your feathered companion. **Q: Why does this have a licorice smell to it?** A: Anise Star has a Licorice-type odor. It is the main ingredient in Tamiflu and is an excellent anti-viral. Best African Grey seed diet available.
