We generally don't recommend parrot products to others because people have their own opinions as to what they want, what might suit their bird and so on.
However there are a few products/companies that we have used or done business with in the past and, for the benefit of the reader, we would like to make mention of them here.
I would also like to mention that my wife and I recently opened our own Online Discount Store. We are tired of having to pay high prices on various products not mention the cost of gas consumed with running around town looking for products that we may need for our home. I believe that online shopping is very definitely postured to actually Save us money in the long run and with our new store we have attempted to bring the lowest prices to our customers as possible.We do sell a large variety of Pet and Parrot Supplies (as well as 1000s of other brand name products) and we would appreciate it if you would stop by for a visit sometime and give us a chance to earn your business.
African Grey Food
For years we have used Pretty Bird Species Specific For African Greys.
This food comes in a kibble form (similar to a fruit loop) and contains all the necessary nutrients your grey requires as a mainstay feed. Some will argue that the sugar content is too high, but we have found it is perfect for our birds and they actually enjoy the flavors and colors. A tablespoon or so a day is plenty, supplemented, of course, with the other food items mentioned in our Care and Feeding Article.
We purchase this online and have found that PetSolutions has the best price and they ship very quickly.
We also feed our birds a 'Fruit Mix' made up of unsalted nuts and dried fruits. We purchase this item from our local Wal-Mart. This item is called "Trail Mix" at Wal-Mart. If you decide to try some, be sure to buy the kind WITHOUT the chocolate chips in it. The Fruit Mix you will want to look for has only dried fruits (banana chips, mango, pineapple, raisins) and unsalted nuts (almonds, cashews, etc).
Parrot CagesWe recently added a nice line of Signature Select Parrot Cages to our online store and we think we offer some of the lowest prices on the net for these top quality cages. We have two of these cages ourselves for our greys and absolutely love them. Also note the low shipping fees associated with our line of cages.
Bird Supplies
When we purchase toys, cleaning or maintenance products that we may not have in stock at our online store, we either use Petsolutions or Dr. Foster Smith. Both online companies carry a good selection of bird supplies, ship fast and offer quality service.
Hint: If you decide to order your parrot related products online, do a google search for any 'coupons' that might be available online for these companies. Often times you can find a coupon code at various coupon sites that will be honored and can save you some money.
