I have two African Grey's and one Eclectus. All three love these. They are pricey but very healthy and when you find a pellet type food that all of them eat you stay with it. This is my 6th order of these and I will continue ordering them.

I was feeding my parrots one of the brands of colorful pellets but as they got older, they had some health problems that I thought might be connected to what I was feeding. This food was recommended to me by a parrot rescue, and my birds all like it. They switched over to this food with no problem at all. It is more expensive than the other food I was feeding, but I am so happy to be feeding a food that does not contain dyes or sugar and the birds are doing really well on it.

Most avian pellets are made by extrusion, a high-heat method that destroys many of the essential nutrients. Caitec Oven-Fresh Bites are one of only a couple brands of pellets that are baked, not extruded, so almost all the nutrients are left intact.

We feed them for dinner, a certain number based on each bird's weight and consumption without wasting them (yes, we have a small enough rescue that we can do this!). All the large birds love them, and we even have a couple of African greys that eat the large size! They smell like fresh homemade cookies, and while I can't personally attest to the flavor, even our pickiest eaters clean their plates. They may cost a bit more than some other brands of pellet, but I wouldn't use anything but Caitec Oven-Fresh Bites for dinner, as a supplement to the raw, fresh foods and sprouts we feed our parrots!

Caitec pellets seem to have a great "mouth feel" (beak feel?), which is part of their appeal, so if you see your bird eating a small part of each pellet and then just crunching up and dropping the rest, either they're full, or you might want to switch to the Caitec "medium" size.

I order the medium size and all our parrots, from a small conure to Amazons, to Goffin's & Umbrella Cockatoos, to a Macaw hold and eat these with no trouble whatsoever. They all love them! Definitely a little pricey, but for the quality of this food, it's worth it. Amazon is the best price I've found so far.
