Kimberly asks
Is Zupreem a good brand for a GCC?
What brands of pellets do you recommend?
Dear Kimberly
Zupreem is a very popular bird food pellet. It is a commonly found variety found almost everywhere. It is puffed and contains sweeteners which cause the birds to take to it easier than many other pellets.
Are you using a pellet now?
The best pellet is the one your bird will eat.
If your bird is eating a pellet now, stick with it as there is always a long period where the bird will not want to eat them.
If you are not using a regular pellet already this line is very nice.
Higgins Intune. They have a very good naturally colored and flavored Conure-sized pellet.
ALL of the Higgins Bird Food products have the same pellets in different sizes.
They also now have a NEW pellet food blend without seeds that is fantastic.
There are also some great Higgins seed blends for conures that ALL have the same Intune pellets in them which allow you to mix and match as desired and stay all in the same flavor line.
