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've been buying Caitec for my African Grey for several years. He seems to like it, and especially likes throwing it out of his cup. But after buying Nutri Berries for several years and watching him discard 95% because he only picked out one seed, I got tired of the waste (and it's not cheap).
This is more nutritious and I like to think there's less waste-wish it came in larger, more cost effective package size.

Did take a few days for him to even consider trying it but that is typical parrot behavior.

All four of my birds (3 Cockies & a Patty) love this product. I give them as afternoon snack. Primo!

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.

Most of my medium/large parrots will eat this pellet which is a feat by itself because birds that haven't been raised on pellets typically don't like them. I have only one that refuses this food. Oddly, they like the large size over the medium size pellet - even the smaller birds want the larger pellet. I mix in a little Goldenfeast and it makes a good daily feed for parrots.
