F.M. Brown's Tropical Carnival, Gourmet Macaw Food Big Bites for Big Beaks - Seeds, Veggies, Fruits, and Nuts with Probiotics - 14 lb

This is by far the best parrot food/seed I have come across in the 23 years I've had an African Grey. Wow. This is a substantial food for parrots, and looks just like in the picture, if not better. Lots of huge quality interesting chunky pieces, mixed with some smaller, but everything they could want. I have a nut cracker I put by his cage to help my Grey with the gigantic nuts, just a little crack. I have never seen a parrot food with such quality ingredients, everything they have listed in the description is there. I ended up breaking up the bag into gallon storage bags, and as I emptied it, the entire bag was consistent with the variety of ingredients. There were no crumbs, so to speak. I highly recommend and will definitely be buying again. Oh and they are made in the USA.On a side note, I also recommend Nutriberries, but they are super expensive. My African Grey's favorite.April 14, 2018 Update:Okay, so from a human standpoint, I think this food rocks for parrots, it has such cool stuff in it. Unfortunately my silly spoiled African Grey is damn picky, and isn't as willing to try new things. It's been two weeks now, and he is picking through the quality ingredients trying to find his nuts. He doesn't seem to be truly eating everything. That upsets me, because I know there is good stuff in this. It may be I fed him the wrong things for too long, that he doesn't know a good thing when it is right in his face. He still prefers his Nutriberries, which are hard on the wallet.

The best food for my Birds

One of the better mixes I have found and a reasonable price. We used to own a parrot rescue and a lot of birds came in on CHEAP mix blends that mostly had small filler seeds and a lot of sunflower seeds. This blend is WAY healthier then most of the blends on the market. We MIX this with Zupreem slowly adding more zupreem over time until the parrots are on at least a 50/50 mix of the two. Our personal pets eat a 3/4 Zupreem and 1/4 F.M. Brown's Tropical Carnival as well as fresh fruits and veggies 3x's a week. We have 3 Blue and Golds and 2 Umbrella Cockatoo's. WIth this product all of the birds we have fed it to "throw out" very little and parrots can be picky. Every single blend on the market has something in it that someone is going to complain about. This one has the least amount of complaints for the large amount of variety that it offers your bird.If you are currently using a cheaper mix that is loaded with sunflower seeds and small filler seeds that your bird probably doesn't bother eating then please consider this: if you have less waste that your bird isn't eating then you'll probably be paying the same amount of $ for a healthier mix because your bird probably won't throw as much out. - Just a thought

Compared to chewy this is cheaper for same amount.

Awesome food, hardly any waste. My macaws absolutely love it!This is an update: I was so happy with this food at first! Over the past few years though, I've noticed a major decline in the quality of the ingredients as well as the consistency from bag to bag. At first I thought they changed ingredients as different ones came in/went out of season, and that was great. As I started paying more attention, I've realized they are more and more cutting back on "the good stuff" and adding more crap!!! This last bag I received had TONS of some kind of dried fruit I've never seen! I think it might be slices of pear???? Either way, there's way too much of it and even my "Mikey" doesn't want anything to do with it! The bag before that was the first time I've seen dried corn and this last bag was full of it! More sunflower seeds, dried peas and peanuts and less tree nuts, different kinds of dried fruits, etc. I honestly kept track, and literally, just under half of this last bag was waste!!!!! It's a shame because this was a great food; now it's parrot junk food and waste. Oh, did I mention the consistent price increase over the years? No bueno!

If my girl bird doesn't like a certain food she will kick it out of her home. This one they both approve of. A happy beak is a quiet beak. LMAO

It's special for him🥰

My Macaw loves this food. Fewer peanuts and sunflower seeds which are not as good for the bird.

Excellent food
