Kaytee Nutri Soft Pet Parrot & Conure Bird Food, 3 Pound

My Blue and Gold Macaw initially did not eat these. I tried mixing it in with other foods but my guess is that because of the brown color, it did not look too appealing to her. So what I did was leave only that in her bowl and she eventually had no choice but to eat it when she got hungry. Surprisingly after a few days, she started eating it on her own. And there is very little wasted at the bottom of the cage. She eats majority of it. I guess it took some getting used to.

My bird loves these pellets and it’s a great quality nutrient food and the size is perfect for him .

So disappointed, my picky macaw did not like this. She will only eat two brands of food, and even those I have to swap out with each other. And of course, both are expensive, with prices continually going up. And sometimes they're out of stock at the store or online. So I was really hoping this would be a winner for us. The price was decent. But alas....Gabby says nope. I tried handing a piece to her, she did the fake out on me. She grabbed it like she liked it, then threw it across her cage. So I poured some in her bowl, and it just sat there. At least she didn't do as usual and toss it out of her bowl.While I can't attest for the taste or flavor of it, it was soft when I opened the bag. Not overly mush, but it wasn't the typical hard/crunchy bit. For the price, I'd give it a try especially looking at the random likes/dislikes on the comments lol. It's something different, and if your bird likes it, lucky you for having another option for food!

my bird hates it,wont touch it.

My parrot didn’t like this. Also the food stunk up the room.

Pros- my parrots do eat it & no seed hulls.Cons- unpleasant aroma. Colors the birds droppings dark like the pellets, this hides any signs of illness that would appear by this method.Another disturbing note: Granted that the cause probably was exponentially exaggerated by my recent health issues that prevented me from being active enough to keep cages clean, but I have never had a cluster fly infestation. Were they simply drawn by the sweetness (molasses, etc) or were they incubating in the soft pellets? 20 years at this residence with my parrots and 1st time using the Nutrisoft pellets I get fly infestation? I think I can count on my right hand how many flies in 20 years I've had indoors. But now 50-70? Unsettling and still a couple stragglers are flying about. Coincidence? My second bag remains unopened trying to decide if the colorized droppings really should concern me (as my iron supplement colors my waste), because my guys can't tell me that they are feeling poorly and nature intuits them not to show weaknesses. Admittedly, I kinda want to use 2nd bag just to determine the cluster fly cause.

Ever since my African Grey’s staple was seemingly discontinued from all sources (Caitec OvenBaked Bites for large birds), I’ve tried many different foods, none of which she ate. This one is a winner! She eats it well, and she’s healthy.

This is good. My bird loves it.
