Lafeber Company Macaw Pellets Premium Daily Diet Pet Food, 5-Pound

Best food for my macaw to get him to eat a better diet.

I have been feeding my Macaw from this food for a year now. At first he didn't like this food for two months. But then he started to like it and eat a lot. Of course you need to give him few from this food mixed with other pellet foods, because birds don't like to eat from same food every day, they like to taste other kind of foods. But in general Pellet is the best food for parrots, it is very healthy for them. And of course Lafeber Premium is one of the best food for parrots.

Its notoriously difficult to change parrots' diets. For example, I got my bird to eat home made mash for a while, but it took a lot of effort and eventually after like a year she didn't want it any more. Of all the pellets we have tried over the years, these seem work the best. Other than sunflower seeds, my Cockatoo actually seems to LIKE these, BUT only if they are wet. She dips them in her water bowl and I will find one in the bottom usually that she 'lost' which makes her water kind of dirty. Lately, we have been putting a few pellets in a shallow saucer with a tiny bit of water which they soak up and I have to say, that has been working out well. I am mentioning this for those that are "stuck" with a bucket their parrot 'won't eat' in case it helps. EDIT: I can sympathize though. I just tried the Tropical Fruit flavor (for a month now) and she won't eat those at all. Her favorite pellets are now Hagen Sticks which are so fruity they smell like bubble gum, so I thought these would be a big hit, but no go! So my review above only applies to REGULAR flavor for my parrot.

Have feed for years. My birds love it.

I've got 6 very spoiled parrots who are very picky. Oddly enough they go for the Lafeber pellets ahead of the pieces of fruit, veggies and raw peanuts. They're happy, so I'm happy.
