User questions & answers

Question:	Why the price jump from 6.62 to 9.98, in only 6weeks
Answer:	I don’t think all the toys would be good for them. My caique LOVES the large ball. My cockatiel loves the bridge/perch. (Which is actually why I bought this). I wouldn’t recommend these for an Amazon. Try mor sturdy toys, like leather ones.
Question:	Will love birds enjoy this treat
Answer:	If you buy a bird from a big pet store you will get a sick bird. They are raised on large farms. A private home is your best bet. I bought my bird from a very small village pet store. The day the babies came into the store from a private home I went in and got him. He was so little he did not make a single sound for six months. I thought I had a deaf-mute parakeet. Now he says about twenty words. He calls me mama.
Question:	Hi do they all have a hole punched spot on the bag
Answer:	yes it's 99% singing canaries about 35 min
Question:	Will the seeds sprout if exposed to water
Answer:	Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Both of these metals are potentially toxic to birds

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi what is the best way to store this
Answer:	I did order the picture shown as x large , would have been different than the other one I received, but all good, I have got the other ones quite a few times and they are great, but the picture shows more activitys for my birds. Thank you
Question:	The bag I ordered smells rancid like rotten eggs, is this normal or did the bag get spoiled in the heat during transit
Answer:	I got the large one which is the first/default image when you click on the "lg". Basically, stainless steel is the only metal that's safe so you should avoid any products that uses metal unless you can be certain that it's made of stainless steel. Surprisingly, there are many bird toys out there (claiming it's bird safe toys) using harmful metals like this copper bell.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should my birds still have access to a mineral block with this food
Answer:	Yes. And it makes a mess! I’m not sure why they are selling these with big holes in the bags. I’ve ordered these several times and last few times it looks like someone took a hole puncher and punched through the entire pack. Seeds everywhere when u open the amazon mailer! I’m buying again, but it’s annoying.
Question:	Are little flat, round pieces made W artificial colors
Answer:	Yes, I've planted them so my birds can eat the sprouts!
Question:	Weird question, but is this vegetarian? Does it contain any trace of meat products such as oil or something similar
Answer:	Hi, yes it does get all over your hands and my bird also had it all over the place. Nice, but not very practical. =(
Question:	Do you need to add a pellet mix along with this food
Answer:	I wouldn’t bother with this kit! Seriously a waste of money. I ordered one for my daughter and the thing just falls apart even with glue. It’s got some cute components but won’t stay assembled!!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can lovebirds eat this food too
Answer:	I think these might be just slightly too big for finches, especially since finches don't really have beaks designed for breaking down chunks of material. I'd attach a picture, but I don't think I can do that here.
Question:	I have two parakeets. Twenty five pounds is a lot of food. Would it go stale before you use it all
Answer:	Were they used to seed or other pelleted food? If they're used to pelleted feed then you may have to try a finch size. I feed the parakeet size to my cockatiel. If they've never had pelleted food then you will have to mix it in gradually with their seed. Hopefully they will like it eventually. Mine love it!
Question:	Does this food contain whole sunflower seeds with shell
Answer:	climate change
Question:	how much white millet is found in the parakeet feed
Answer:	Most Definitely! !! All birds 💕millet😀

Question:	Can i also feed my cockatiel this food

Answer:	I highlighted the back listing of ingredients and yes it contains blue yellow and red color additives.
Question:	I had ordered this color amp formula(fruits, vegetables, seeds and grains) but received the wrong one that has only seeds and grains twice
