Bird Question

[Faing]

Can somebody tell me a good website or online food (that is REALLY GOOD quality) for small hookbills (seed diet)? In 20-25 lb bags quite possibly as well.

They have a variety of foods to offer, including high quality organic diets, for reasonable prices and in large quantities. I order T.O.P. for my parrots, including budgies, cockatiels, and conures from there; I'm very pleased with the prices and customer service.

Thanks I believe I may have 'accidently' gotten a few toys for the lil bugger as well. I appreciate it.

Be careful with the seed diets for avians. It is just a "bread & water" diet. Meaning the seed is %100 fat & carbs. If you can or do offer your birds, no matter the species, fruits & vegis with a tablespoon of seed mixed in daily, they will be much better off. Non colored pellets offered 24/7 will be ok as well.

Seconded. A pure seed diet is a recipe for vitamin deficiencies.

I use a mix. My bird likes the seeds as well.

Okay that's fine.
