Natural Baked Avian Diet, All-Natural Bird Food, Whole Grain, Medium Parrot, 28 Oz

Our cockatoo loves this stuff. Its so much better than corn based pellets. Also our little cockatiel like it. Its a bit big for primary food, but it is good for her to work on.

My 39 year old Amazon has spent his life on seed diet. I tried MANY TIMES switching to various pellet foods to no avail. I found this in a final attempt to find a pellet food he’ll eat. And success!! Not only does he love it, he doesn’t seem to miss his seed diet. He also needed to gain some weight and I think this is doing the trick. (I also give him fresh fruits/veggies and nuts with it). PS, they smell good enough to eat myself. I haven’t tried one yet though 😆

Except for the cost, I LOVE these pellets and more importantly, so do my birds!I tried every pellet on the market and every conversion method for 7 years with one of my Greys and could NOT get her switched from the seed diet she had been on while with her former owner. Then I discovered Oven Fresh Bites. Within 3 days, she switched off of the seed and on to these pellets . Now, even if she has other foods in her bowl, if she is out of Caitec, she will repeatedly tell me " I need some dinner in my bowl". She only stops if I give her the Caitec.I have recommended these pellets to other bird owners who have trouble getting their birds on pellets and almost all have had the same results I did. I was able to switch birds of two friends over too when those birds birds came to board for a few days here at my house.My birds are so much healthier now that they are on the Caitec pellets. I sent some to a friend whose seed eating AG had a stroke. She blended the Bites in to a mash, spoon fed him and he recovered. Now after a combination of the Bites and fresh foods, he has fully recovered.There are two drawbacks. The first is that there is a LOT of waste when feeding these pellets. They are super crumbly and so after one bite, chunks fall in to the bird's bowls and the floor of the cage. I only use the medium size because of this. The large pellets just mean more waste and I have never had luck getting my birds to eat the crumbles. That said, I do make use of some of the crumbles by using them for making birdie bread and as an addition to fresh foods.The hardest thing to deal with though is the cost. A one pound bag averages $17-20. Because of the waste, a pound only lasts a few days here. I purchase individual bags fairly often but more frequently buy 15 pound boxes through a local vendor so that I don't have to pay shipping. But those 15 pound boxes cost $99 or more online. That makes it one of the most expensive pellets out there which has been the reason that quite a few other bird owners I have suggested Caitec to have chosen other brands. I have an extremely low income so it's a challenge for me to keep my birds on the Caitec Oven Fresh Bites but with my birds ready acceptance of them and their improved health, I will make sacrifices in my own diet to keep my birds on the Caitec pellets.

A great nutrition food that my parrot loves. Good for medium to large parrots. Smells good too

Update: the price has more than doubled on this product from this seller so I’ll have to look elsewhere to buy it.I've been trying to get my bird on a more pellet-based diet for awhile now. He gets the Zupreem fruit pellets -- or birdie fruit loops, as I like to call them -- every day, but I wanted something a bit more substantial for the main part of his diet. He loves his Nutriberries, but he should really just get those more as treats. So, I decided that I would find pellets that are big because even though he's smaller -- he's a Senegal parrot -- he loves to take a piece of food and climb to the top of his play gym to eat it. And these are about the size of the Nutriberries so I thought they would be a good choice as he doesn't really like the smaller sized ones. Well, the first day I put about five of these in his food bowl and hoped for the best. He promptly flipped his dish over, dumping the pellets on the bottom of his cage. He's not exactly shy in telling me what he likes and doesn't like. Of course, knowing he's a bit like a tempermental toddler, I put them back in his bowl and then secured it with two binder clips (ha, sometimes I win). He just picked each one up and dropped them to the bottom of his cage (my victory was short lived). But, I have more patience than him so I simply left them there and went about my day. He still got some fruit and veggies, and a couple Nutriberries as a snack, but I kept giving him the pellets each morning. Finally, he gave in and tried them. "Oh wait, these actually taste good. Gee, maybe she isn't trying to kill me."And now? He waits in the morning for me to put these in his dish, and I always hand one to him as he sits at the top of his play gym, all six ounces of him dominating over the household like a flamboyant fascist dictator (he dresses better than most). He leans forward to snatch them from my hand. And after he eats them up, he goes down to the bottom of his gym and picks up any leftover pieces and crunches them up until brown dust is all that remains. I'm kind of amazed he hasn't licked that up, in fact.So, if you have a picky bird -- who doesn't -- give these a try. And remember, it takes awhile for birds to try new things. They are notoriously set in their ways and typically don't like new things right away. Just have some patience and remember that while it may not always feel like it, you are actually the one in charge (no, really). I had to put up with a few days of screaming (nothing new), but now the mornings are so awesomely quiet as he chows down on his breakfast.And although I haven't actually tasted one, I imagine they taste great because they smell amazing, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and other spices (not really sure which ones). Seriously, they kind of smell like they should be cookies. And who doesn't love cookies?

These are better than Wheaties

Nice size pellet for my African grey.She has harrisons but its nice to mix things up abit to keep her from boredom.They smell delicious,abit like a cinnamon cookie but they dont contain sugar thankfully like alot of the pellets seem too,they also seem to be full of good things like fruits,nuts,real food s and vitamins,not just fillers.She gets fresh foods on top of these but having been on seed most of her life,I inherited her a couple of years ago,ive finally got her off the seed,with Harrison primarily,and these as a second pellet,she took to them I would say after about a day,as greys can be weary of anything new, but now she loves them.

My African Grey Congo loves these, and she is a picky eater.

The birds enjoy it

My green cheek conure did not care for these. It does take him awhile to warm up to something different. I will keep trying.
