Higgins Safflower Gold Natural Food Mix for Conures & Cockatiels, 3lbs by Higgins

My 27-year old Cockatiel is a picky sunflower seed junkie. He usually eats a custom organic food-grade blend from a local shop. They closed during the pandemic. I got the Higgins Safflower Gold & mixed 3:1 ratio with his current feed. The Bird-Boy ignored the sunflower seeds and ate this with no complaints. I'm shocked. The little despot's usual reaction is to toss the offending seed out then walk away with his beak in the air😶 FYI Petco's Amazon portal is much better than the brick & mortar store. The price for this bag is ~$20 in my town; I paid ~$12. I also had problems with expired stock or bug infested food being sold in the store. This food smells like orange-pineapple juice; No bugs. The package also arrived 2 days before the expected delivery date.

Love this blend. My cockatiels love it. They pick and choose/waste a bunch of other brands of seeds but they eat all of this one. Super healthy compared to other brands full of sunflower and millet. Recommended from my bird pages and couldn't be happier. Been using for months now. Only complaint is being Canadian its harder to find (outside of Amazon) and it seems to be pricey compared to other places (ex: USA). Totally worth it though. Its my #1 choice.

My flock of 16 Free flying guys from owl finches canaries parrolettes and concurs all gladly eat it. Happy birds and no seed waste or mess!

I've tried every commercial birdseed out there at one time or another. Unless you have a truly top notch exotic bird shop nearby who offers a fresh mix of their own, this product is a great choice. I like the ingredients and the birds like to eat it. Other products don't seem to appeal to my birds as much. They will eat, but they pick over it and leave a lot. The Higgins Safflower Gold is the one they like the most. It smells good to me. I have lovebirds and conures, and a cockatiel. My conure knows when this package arrives because she can hear it when we carry it in the house. She gets happy. That's important. She is an extremely healthy bird.

I have been purchasing this for well over 2 years now. My tiel just loves it. I feel that she's getting more than just seed with the fruits and veggies that are also in the mix. Although she doesn't like the larger sized pieces and before I give it to her, I have to strain them out. Not a big deal breaker. I would definitely recommend this product to any bird parent.
