Question 1

Is this appropriate for Green-cheeked conures?

Accepted Answer

my green cheek conure loves these fruit pellets. i noticed her and her cohorts, a 15 yr old quaker parrot and 12 yr old jenday conure, like this pellet size as they can hang on to it better while eating same and not dropping it. she's 9 yrs old and like her cohorts, in great shape and good health. they have been eating the zupreem feeds for 12 yrs now. bird seed not good for them as it don't provide all the nutrition they need. these parrots can live to age 25 yrs. gotta feed them right and ya gotta love 'em. just like a 2nd set of kids and LOL with them.

Question 2

What is the nutritional difference between the fruit blend and the Natural one?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe there is a difference in the nutritional value between the two....but my parrots like the fruit blend over the natural blend and it's because,  in my opinion of the color of the pellets. I mix the two toghether and my Amazon only eats the color pellets and leaves the natural ones.

Question 3

Are these "extruded pellets"?

Accepted Answer

Yes NUTBLEND WITH NATURAL NUT FLAVOR are extruded pellets shaped like nuts and are for the larger birds.

Question 4

Can this replace seeds?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very much so. As others have said, it will take some time, even over a year for many parrots to
eat or switch to pellets. I have found that when my birds have seen a food and then don't see it for awhile,
say a couple of weeks or longer, they are very intrigued when I bring it back!
    Now I alternate Zupreem and Roudybush pellets. I only give seeds as a very occasional treat. Maybe once a week. 
Parrots on a seed-only diet do not live as long as birds on pellets. 
    We also feed Red Mill Muesli every morning, cooked and 50%/50% with pureed pumpkin. Most
parrots need a lot of vitamin A. Other fruits and veggies are good, too. Apples, Melon, Broccoli, Grapes,
Carrots, Squash, Green Beans, etc.
