This has lasted me months now. I am maybe 2/3 done with it and I ordered this a really long time ago. It's cheaper to buy in bulk, I'm used to always having to stop by a pets market to buy the smaller bags, and they are much more expensive. The bad thing is, since it's so heavy the box it came in was in awful condition when it arrived. Ripped, torn open, and the UPS guy threw it against our door too, because it was so heavy.
UPDATE: So it's been awhile since I've last posted, yeah? I thought I'd give an update and give a more thorough review.
I have three birds total, an African Grey, a parrotlet, and a budgie. All three love Zupreem. We buy the bigger pellet size for our African Grey, and she's funny because she likes to pick out certain colors, so when we refill her bowls in the morning all you'll see are the purple ones leftover. (I guess she doesn't like grape flavor!) Sometimes it'll be just all red leftover, but she always eats the yellow ones.
For my other two smaller birds, I was afraid Zupreem would be harmful for them in the long run because I've been on a couple of bird forums and there's always a huge discussion about the artificial coloring in Zupreem pellets. Zupreem has had years of testing and perfecting their products, but still I worried and so I tried switching over to a non-colorful seemingly healthier choice, Roudybush. They hated it! They'd toss it all out onto the bottom of their cage and make a huge mess out of it. I've thus learned my lesson that my birds can be finicky eaters and I struck gold the first time when I tried Zupreem. It was wishful thinking that they'd just switch over; Roudybush had more of a veggie wheat sort of base smell, whereas Zupreem was more fruity and sweet smelling. All in all, it was a waste of money trying to find something new. I bought the huge 10 lb bag of Roudybush too, so I had to slowly mix it in with some Zupreem to not waste it. I've also tried mixing it with hot water and mashing it with some steamed veggies to feed to my bigger African Grey as a treat (she likes warm steamed foods and isn't as finicky as the smaller ones).
We were first recommended Zupreem by our local vet when our African Grey got extremely sick from eating a strictly seed medley diet. Apparently it's not as nutritious for them; she would pick out mainly sunflower seeds, and those are like candies to them. My budgie was also starting to show signs of respiratory issues from her seed diet; she was having breathing problems and was wheezing, trouble balancing, tail was bobbing as she breathed. After swapping to pellets they are much more healthier and get the vitamins and nutrition they need.
