I'm sorry to hear your bird passed away. The Mazuri diet is great. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Higgins seeds. I think you would have been better off using the Mazuri only. It is a complete feed and you should not need to supplement with anything else. Were you giving many high calcium/oxalate veggies? He may have had an underlying kidney issue which would have predisposed him to the gout. That is probably the most likely scenario.

Hi! I recently got a little baby parakeet. So far, she’s been doing very well; it’s been a little over a month. However, instead of eating all of her seed mixture, I think she just picks through & eats her favorites because there are a lot of remnant
You can add in a commercial pelleted mix. Brands include Roudybush, Harrison's, LaFeber or Pretty Bird. This should make up most of her diet. You can supplement with a small amount of a fortified seed mix. Round out her diet with fresh greens, vegetables and a small amount of fruit. She can also eat foods such as cooked grains and beans and plain pasta. Scrambled egg is also a healthy treat. Introduce new foods gradually and one at a time. Monitor for loose droppings afterwards.

Hello- We have a female parakeet who is molting around one of her eyes. There seems to be redness in that area but her eye seems fine. She is acting normal; no lethargy or loss of appetite. However, I am concerned if that area is infected or will be
Her eye and the area around it does not look bad. Monitor it for redness, swelling, excessive feather loss or excessive scratching. A small amount of seed is fine, but she shouldn't be on an all seed diet. A commercial pelleted diet would provide a balanced diet. Brands include Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird, Kay Tee Exact and Harrison's. These can be found online or in most pet stores. A mineral block and a cuttlebone should be provided as well.

I am looking for the best pellets for my canaries. Last year they were on a seed diet, but I slowly switched them over to Zumpreem Fruit Blend. However, I've read that the Fruit Blend has a lot of artificial coloring and sugars. I'm having trouble fi
Harrison's bird food is the best pelleted bird food on the market in my opinion. Most avian vets recommend it and feed it to their own birds. For more information, here is their web address: https://www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com/
