My bird loves it though like with most food a lot of it upends up unused or maybe she is clearing out the nutty centers and leaving the tiny husks in the bowl. It can be hard to tell sometimes. I love the variety of it. Over time sometimes I wish there was more of this or that specific ingredient. Don’t need the cinnamon sticks because she just doesn’t dig em. Thought she might try over the years but they are ignored or dumped in the dish to make the water red. I like that it does not have that weird sprayed on vitamin or sugary smell. Wish it cost less but willing for pay for the quality and it has been consistent. Unless an alternative drops in my lap, this is always going to be her diet with shared table food supplementation Review: Excellent Food--Preferred By Our Parrots - As long-time owners of an African Grey Parrot and also a Macaw, we have used a variety of foods for our birds. We have always tried to find good value, but not at the expense of poor quality, or food that our birds don't seem to relish. Over years, we've tried many different food blends, but after finding and first using the Volkman Avian Science Foods some three years ago, we have used no other blended food. Our African Grey gets a combination of this African Grey food and sunflower seeds, and our Macaw gets a combination of the the Volkman Macaw food and pistachios. Both birds enjoy the food and maintain great appearance and health. This is not inexpensive food--and at times it can be limited supply. We have used three different suppliers over time (including desertcart), because it is not always consistently in stock at all places. I would welcome a little lower price--more in line with other more common foods--but they simply don't match the quality or are as well-liked by our birds, so I pony up the money to buy the Volkman. I have found this food to be consistently fresh and the same high-quality blend, sack after sack. All-in-all, based on our experience I can highly recommend this food for your parrots; I think it's worth the extra challenge and cost to locate and buy. ## Features - DESIGNED FOR AFRICAN GREYS & desertcart PARROTS: Formulated with the eating habits and preferences of African Greys in mind, and well-suited for desertcarts and other medium to large parrots that thrive on diverse textures and flavors. - WHOLESOME NUTRITION WITH NATURAL APPEAL: High quality seeds add essential fats, protein, flavor, and natural foraging enrichment when included in a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and other wholesome foods. - SUPPORTS DAILY ENERGY & FEATHER HEALTH: Nutrient-dense seeds, grains, and plant-based proteins help maintain healthy energy levels while contributing to strong feathers and overall condition. - ADDED CALCIUM SUPPORT FROM CUTTLEBONE: Included cuttlebone provides a familiar, chewable calcium source that helps support beak use and skeletal health. - PROVEN FAVORITE WITH LONGER TERM BIRD OWNERS: As the best-selling blend in the Avian Science line, this mix has earned trust through consistent quality and strong acceptance among companion parrots. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B019X9G2QY | | Additional Features | Triple-Cleaned Purity, Fortified with Cuttlebone for Calcium, Vitamins, and Minerals | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Diet Type | Plant-Based | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,528 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #69 in Bird Food | | Brand | Volkman | | Brand Name | Volkman | | Breed Recommendation | Large Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,083 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Earthy grains and hearty seeds | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00070789208041 | | Item Form | seeds | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Manufacturer | Volkman Pet Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_20804 | | Model Number | FBA_20804 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Size Name | 4 Pound | | Pet Type | Bird | | Product Benefits | Provides balanced nutrition for various bird species | | Recommended Uses For Product | Daily Diet for African Grey Parrots, Amazon Parrots, and Cockatoos | | Special Ingredients | beta carotene, calcium rich foods | | Specific Uses For Product | Digestive Health | | Target Species | Bird | | UPC | 070789208041 | | Unit Count | 64 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Volkman - **Flavor:** Earthy grains and hearty seeds - **Item Form:** seeds - **Specific Uses For Product:** Digestive Health ## Images ![Avian Science African Grey Bird Food 4lb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H3GgQdFBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are there alot of sunflower seeds in this mix? The vet says my Moms bird Poppy is chubby and needs to cut back on the sunflower seeds.** A: This seed mix is mostly safflower, which is better than sunflower. If your bird is eating too many sunflower seeds, I would suggest switching to a safflower blend, as Birdsafe Store mentioned. Higgins Safflower for Parrots or Volkman Hookbill would be good choices. Neither of these has the high fat sunflower seed. They are also good choices for Amazon Parrots, which tend to have trouble as they get older with higher fat diets. **Q: Is this only for African Greys and Amazons or can I give it to a Goffins cockatoo too?** A: My Goffins eat everything that my Amazons eat. They both love this mix except for the corn. They have never liked dry corn. But they especially love safflower seeds! **Q: Is this food a treat for parrots or a main meal like pellets?** A: Thank you for your question. This is a main diet for African Grey Parrots and other similarly sized parrots. BirdDog Depot is one of the few approved sellers of Avian Science and offers the freshest Volkman Avian Science seed mixes shipped FACTORY DIRECT to Amazon's warehouses so you can get the freshest food possible for your feathered companion. **Q: Why does this have a licorice smell to it?** A: Anise Star has a Licorice-type odor. It is the main ingredient in Tamiflu and is an excellent anti-viral. Best African Grey seed diet available.
