Where do most of you buy your dry food?

Having a number of fids I'm always looking for a good deal on food. I buy in bulk as much as I can.

I currently use the following sites for ordering food

mybirdstore.com - Bird Paradise Shopping Cart
foryourbird.com - Beaver Creek Aviary
nybird.com - New York Bird Supply
theperchstore.net - ThePerchStore
thebirdstore.com - TODD MARCUS BIRDS EXOTIC

Does anyone have any other good sites to check out?

I use Todds custom blend #7. Theres no colored pellets in there so I can feed it to my Ekkie as well as the other 3.

BP has such great deals on food! i wish they carried the parrots on the porch blends, but they have harrison's at probably the cheapest price i've seen! i give one of their custom blends to my tiel.

i can only imagine how much food you go through, jeanne!

I shop online at Bird Paradise and The Perch, when they have especially good sales. I co-op with a breeder and some folks from FWCAS for some Higgins specialty blends so we can order wholesale. I also do tradeouts with BIRDIEBREAD for seeds (Volkman's no sunflower seed mix), sprouts and pellets (Zupreem Harvest Blend) or Harrisons with several of the vendors at the bird fairs. I also just won about 2 months worth of sprouts, seeds and Tropican on the raffle at the November fair in Sarasota.

I only have 2 keets but i still make sure i have a mixture of keet seed.

i cant remember the names but they are different.. some have added goodies some are just plain seeds then i take some millet and put them in and mix everything together.. put them in container... i have tried watermellon with my brats but not yet.. just kale..... so far and broccolli so i hope i am doing what i am supposed to do....

I get my fresh organic produce at the local supermarkets and Walmart during the winter and the local organic farmers in season. I also buy at Whole Foods and, when I go there, I stock up on frozen stuff. I get my organic grains, legumes and rices at Barry Farm, a local organic grower and my health food store (Whole Foods has them too but only in small quantities which makes them more expensive). My seeds come from ABBA and my pellets vary, whichever site has them cheaper at the time.
