Elvenking Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I usually get Isaac a huge 25LB bag of seed mix from our local Parrot Haven. However, I wouldn't mind hearing from folks what seed mix their Grey really takes to. Please share a link to order if you can. I understand that it is typically the lesser part of their diet, but a continuous one at that...so I want to be sure I have done my best to find some good ones.

Timbersmom Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Timber likes http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=23423 in the Tikal blend. Like everything else, tastes are very individual from bird to bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just ordered a 3lb bag from amazon as a supplement for those days i don't have fresh veggies. I usually give them a seed mix once a week on Sundays before i clean the cages. How long will this keep in a sealed bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Large hookbill blend from Our Feathered Friends/A Bird Haven (local San Diego store). It has more dried fruit and veggies mixed into it than it has seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbersmom Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not sure how long it will keep alex. I give Timber a quarter cup everyday and it lasts fine at room temp until the 3# bag is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I will have to check with my trimmer what I feed her. I know it is a mix of freezedryed fruits and veggies as well as a pellet mix of his choosing. Sophie gets many veggies and fruits, seeds are limited. He decides her diet. I know many will think why my trimmer decides her diet...think of it as having a personal trainer. He has been involved with her life from day one. She is happy and thriving!

Steve 2 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Toulouse gets Lafeber's nutri-an seed cakes (foraging/weight maintenance) every other day. I cut the squares into smaller cubes and put these in his foraging toy. While he has to work for them, he's pretty clever and usually gets to them quickly.

Acappella Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I get the Volkman Hookbill and their Large Parrot, and mix them together. What I like about their seed mixes is that they're free of those annoying pantry moths that every other seed mix I tried have. I still take out all the in-shell nuts and substitute human grade nuts as treats. What I don't like about Volkman is that they never respond to phone calls or e-mails. The only stores I can find that carry it in Canada both have to ship it to me. A local pet store was willing to try to get it in for me, but they never responded to him either. Kind of annoying.
