judygram Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well thanks, Loviechick, for the info, I might try that, but I prefer the Harrisons, anyway. I have tried the Roudybush pellets and the Nutriberries too. But some of the new grey owners might appreciate the numbers to get some samples to see which their bird prefers.

Guest Lidia Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I can't dial those number from Ireland. Anyone like to phone a couple for me? I'd love to try Harrisons (which Judy has spoken often about). I'd give my address by PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Cool, some free samples of Harrisson's! I wonder if it's available to Canadians? I know mine already like it, but it's so darn expensive here that any sample I can get counts :laugh: !! Thanks for the info!<br><br>Post edited by: eve, at: 2007/08/09 01:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 It's not often you find someone giving away something for free. I have searched here in the UK & can't find anyone giving out free samples I'd like to try my 3 with some pellets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 you could get a small back of harrisons from www.24parrot.com i think it's about £5 for a little bag of harrisons, very expensive. but there are other kinds of pellets on there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckymac Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks for the info! We haven't got a grey yet (hopefully very soon) - but this would be a great (and very cost effective ) way to find out what mine is going to like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 What a good find, i think all bird food companies should offer small free samples,this would allow us to try our birds on their products, if we like we go back & buy Saves us bird owners spending a fortune on the minimum size package only to find out our birds wont eat it :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I second your comment, Tracy, maybe they will see this and start doing it, right, and I have some swamp land in Florida I will sell to you too.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monique Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Thank you for the info!!! I saw someone advise once that if trying to convert a bird to pellets it can be easier to give them a big variety of pellet types and let them choose what kind they want themselves. I've no personal experience w/it but it sort of makes sense ... parrots being the picky little things they are!! So getting a bunch of free samples might be a great way to do that!! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I still can't get Talon to eat Harrison's, and I've been trying for over 6 months. I guess I should give up and try a variety......we have tried Goldenobles, she won't touch them either. Any suggestions.....anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 The other two popular brands are zupreem And pretty bird pellets,Are you able to get them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 She really only eats 2 colors out of the zupreems, and I don't like them because of the artificial coloring and preservatives. I have yet to try the Pretty bird pellets, I will look for them. Right now, she eats the Forti-Diet by Kaytee, but she will not eat the sunflower seeds, peanuts, or the big stuff. She prefers the small stuff that is in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwibarb12 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks for this post - I had really fast response from all of the manufacturers. Since Beckette wouldn't eat any of them, I ended up grinding the pellets in a coffee grinder (not Joes):laugh: , and storing the powder in the fridge. When I need a quick meal for Beck, I mix the powder with applesauce or juice, add millet and chopped up cashew and warm a little. She has to eat a bit of the pellets to get the seed. Better than straight seed, and it gets her used to eating unfamiliar things. Not bad for free stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Glad you got your samples of bird pellets, Barbara, and what a clever idea to grind them up and mix with other food to get her to eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
