Pros: This food is very much liked by my parrots. The ingredients are healthy and fresh and it promotes good nutrition.

Cons: I wish that this food was made in a blend for parrots who have food allergies. I have one parrot who can't eat corn. Corn is also a "filler" and there isn't much nutrition in it. I think that a healthier ingredient could be substituted in a product designed for birds with allergies (perhaps dehydrated broccoli would be a good substitution). This could possibly be Garden Buffet III (for birds with food allergies).

Comments: This is just a general thought about bird food and bird food mixes that are custom blended. If you ask most people about their parrot's likes and dislikes, I think you'll note that most birds don't eat the "field corn" or dried hard corn that is put into bird food mixes. Raisins are another item that is added to many foods and is usually not eaten. There are better and more nutritious veggies and fruits that could be added to bird foods. In my opinion corn, sunflower seed, peanuts and raisins should be omitted entirely from all bird foods. Corn and Peanuts are foods that can harbor bacteria and cause Aspergillosis in pet birds. Sunflowers are fattening and shouldn't ever be fed to pet birds. Almonds should be used in place of peanuts, in bird food mixes. Corn should be substituted with broccoli or carrots or (something else that is nutritious and healthy for pet birds).
