Are fruit loops a good parrot food?

parrot foodYou might wonder about such a ridiculous title.

A customer just told me that she went to a bird store to buy parrot food and ask for TOP pellets. I don’t know if they did not have them. The sales person showed my customer another, multi colored branch of parrot pellets and said: this ones are really good; smell them, yummy, like fruit loops.

This Totally Organics customer feeds organic foods to her birds and does not want any artificial colors and other chemicals in her parrot food. But how many parrot owners don’t know much about nutrition and rely on their bird store for information about what food is healthy and which could harm their bird? I am just sharing this story to show that it looks like we have to educate ourselves, when we want to avoid certain ingredients in our parrot food. I know there are great stores with knowledgeable sales personal. But there are the other kinds too. I hope you have a great one in your area.
