What kind of pellets do you feed your QP? We're looking to get Pipa off the mix the store fed her.

I don't know whereabouts you are (probably U.S.?), but we are in Australia and have a pellet mix by Vetafarm.

We are in Canada Bitey. They have Pipa on a diet of "tropican" by Living World. I can't seem to find much information about it.

I currently give Peppy several different brands of pellets, hoping he will cotton to one or the other, but my number one choice is Harrison's. They are organic and don't have any weird preservatives. I know a lot of people in Canada give them to their greys. You have to buy them online or in vet offices. They also make healthy treats and bird bread mix. |

Ralph likes ZuPreem Fruit Blend pellets (which seem to be popular with many Quakers), Pretty Bird Daily Select (also fruit flavored) and Higgins InTune (fruit flavored too). He'll eat plain Roudybush pellets only if they're mixed in with any of the others he prefers.

I had my Gypsy lil over 2 months. Her previous owner fed her mix seeds & junk foods. Since I got her I've been feeding her fresh fruits, veggies, pasta, bread & mix seeds. She haven't tried pellets yet. I want to buy the ZuPreem & Harrison. Would you guys please give me the exact kind of pellets you gave to your Quaker Parrot or if you guys don't mind please post the picture of the label, would humbly appreciate it. I am thinking to buy it through Amazon.com since there's no bird feed store close to my area. Thanks in advance.

We feed Cupcake Harrison's Adult Lifetime Fine as well. It was extremely easy to switch her over to these pellets. When we were switching her from a seed mix, we did use the Harrisons's High Potency Mash, which is a powder, as a coating on her seeds to get her used to the taste of the pellets, but I am not even sure that measure was necessary because she never hesitated to eat them in the first place. She likes the mash so I still mix some in with her pellets. Harrison's is good stuff.

Kermit, my Quaker, eats ZuPreem Cockatiel Fruit Blend pellets. He has been eating them for about 16 years.
