Top 10 Parrot and Hookbill Foods
for October 2023

F.M. Brown's Tropical Carnival Gourmet Large Hookbill Food for Parrots, Cockatoos and Macaws is a good choice for hookbills, particularly if you live in a cold climate. It contains 30 ingredients, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. For hookbills that are fed on pelleted birdseed, the Tropical Carnival food will provide a nice variety of nutrients, and it's formulated with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so it's nutritionally balanced. It's also fortified with omega fatty acids and beneficial bacteria, which may help to support good digestion. The fruit and vegetable mix is brightly colored, and it contains cranberries, cranberries, sunflower seeds, bananas, papaya, pineapple, squash, carrots, peas, broccoli, red bell peppers, zucchini, winter squash, broccoli, strawberries, apples, and bananas, which all offer different nutrients. The Tropical Carnival food has a savory flavor, and it can be fed to hookbills that prefer a savory diet. The pellets are soft and easy to digest, and birds seem to like eating the Tropical Carnival food. This food also has 30 grams of protein, which helps support a strong immune system. Our only complaint is that the pellets are quite large, and we recommend cutting them into smaller pieces for hookbills that prefer to eat food that is more easily consumed.

This high quality parrot food not only guarantees great nutritional benefits for your bird, but it's made without any GMOs, corn, soy or wheat, making it safe for your bird to eat. The pellets are cold-pressed, which helps to preserve the natural nutrition. The pellets are smaller than many birds prefer, but that's to be expected from pellets that are cold-pressed. The pellets are soft and easy to feed, and though they're not as soft as seeds, they can be eaten whole, which some birds prefer. The pellets are also soft enough that they can be crushed into powder, which some birds enjoy. The pellets are preservative-free and free of artificial colors and flavors, so they won't harm your bird if they start to choke or ingest them. If you like, you can mix the pellets with seed, sprouts, nuts or other foods. The pellets are packaged in sealed bags, so they should last for several months, but if they don't, TOP will replace them free of charge.

This bird food recipe has all the ingredients we like to see in a parrot or conure food: lots of nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and nuts, prebiotics, probiotics, and, very importantly, no corn or soy. This formula also has twice as many probiotics as our previous pick, and it's packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to support good digestion. The probiotics are in the form of freeze-dried Mychorrhiza extract, which contains 15 strains of beneficial bacteria that help maintain healthy digestion. The vitamins B6 and B12 are in the form of menadione, a type of vitamin that parrots don't naturally produce in humans, so it's important that they receive it from other sources. The formula also contains omega fatty acids and antioxidants, which help maintain a healthy immune system. This formula has 30 more ingredients than our previous pick, and it's a good choice for birds that need more variety in their diets. It also has a smaller serving size, which is better for birds that have smaller appetites.

We selected the TOP Parrot Food Bird Pellets for Small Hookbills (peanut-soy-free) for our runner-up pick, in part because it's the only non-corn-based complete bird food on the market, but also because the ingredients are all naturally sourced, and none of the meals are genetically modified. The pellets are cold-pressed, which helps retain more of the nutrients in the food. TOP's pellets are formulated with vegetables and whole grains, so they mimic the natural nutrients found in a wild diet. All of the ingredients are U.S.-grown, and organic certified, and TOP's Pellets are the only non-corn-based complete bird food on the market that is USDA organic certified. The pellets are also free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. The pellets are smaller than most complete bird foods, which makes them easier to feed, and there is less waste, but it's important to note that this pellet size is best for small to medium-sized birds, and for birds that tend to prefer smaller food pieces. TOP's Parrot Food Bird Pellets for Small Hookbills (peanut-soy-free) is a very good choice for birds that prefer smaller food pieces, and for birds that live primarily indoors.

The Tropical Carnival is a solid bird food, and it's especially good if you own an African Grey.

The blend of ingredients makes this food a good choice for all birds, but it's particularly good for African Greys and conures. The texture of the food isn't great, but it's better than some bird foods, and it's especially good for people with small birds who might find larger food pieces difficult to handle. The Tropical Carnival also beats the pants off many cage diets, which aren't fortified with vitamins and nutrients.
