Hari Tropican Cockatiel Lifetime Granules, 820 g

Good to see my wee parrots loving this stuff. Quality is good they find them tasty and I will be buying more.

First of all we need to consider that this food is not specifically for Cockatiels. The pack states "Cockatiels Lovebirds Rosellas Parrotlets". It is referred to as "for Cockatiels" simply because there is a picture of a Cockatiel on the front of the pack. What we should be considering is the comparable size of the bird.Third time lucky for my 6 months old Green Cheek Conure named Rio. I initially followed advice to provide a larger size of pellets but that proved to be wasteful. When he tried the pellets which was rarely Rio would take a bite out of a pellet and then drop it to the bottom of the cage. The larger pellets therefore proved to be wasteful so I changed to a smaller size of pellet.Two failed brands of rainbow pellets on and I arrived at this HARI Tropican small size. At first when hand fed a pellet Rio ate it, wiped his beak on his perch and went for some water. He didn't immediately go back to the HARI Tropican and ignored it but two days later he was eating it.My method is not to mix the pellets with seed but serve them in different pots. The pot containing the Hari Tropican pellets is placed high in the cage and this entailed buying an extra pot and an extra perch but I was going to buy a sanded perch anyway. His seed food is placed at a lower position in the cage. In practise Rio eats both, seeds first thing in the morning and pellets the rest of the day. If I mix seed and pellets together Rio eats the seed and leaves the pellets.Lastly, Parrots are very much individuals and what suits one parrot is not successful with another parrot. But based on my experience Tropican Lifetime Granules is at least worth a try.

My small Conure loves them. It does have a funny smell but evidently it doesn’t bother my little Kai he loves them

Does as it should

Smells like bubble gum , my cockatiel just won't eat anything that is good for him. After reading reviews I figured I'd give this a go. Nope he wouldn't touch it, so I took the seed completely away and just left this, in the end he had a nibble at it but it gave him bright green almost glow in the dark diarrhea, and he he managed to pull the bowl off the side of the cage and launched it onto the floor. He's about 10 years old now so I guess I can't teach an old bird new tricks. Back to his seed and mashed potatoes and peas and sweetcorn. I give up I don't know why it smells funny, the product is very colourful. The wild birds love it though 😄

I have tried lots of different pallets for my 2 cockatiels, just so they have a varied diet. But they always leave the pallets. I bought these ones after reading reviews and thought "I'll give up if these don't work". Well my birds love them and eat every last bit, leaving no mess and calling repeatedly until I refill their feeder.

I love this food for my cockatiels, it's full of vitamins and is just an all round healthy and better alternative to seeds.The product does smell like bubblegum but my birds didn't seem to mind it after a while.Even my 5 year old cockatiel has taken to it after only having a seed diet for the past 5 years, he didn't take to it at first but then I put a mirror behind his bowl so he could see him self eat and now just like the rest of them this is his main diet.Very pleased with this product 🙂

Ok so the outer packaging is never great always looks dirty when you get it out of packet and smells musty this has happened twice but what's good is the product inside the packets is good and fresh and it's good quality bird food pellet type of bird food. It's nice smelling and my birds like it. I give it to my kakariki as an extra. Also it's good value for money.
