Does anyone here feed Goldenfeast Madagascar Delight as a complete meal in place of a pellet diet? Its saying its a complete diet. Im thinking of using this for Occy with no pellet in addition to a fresh meal daily. Thoughts?

I use it! My guys are OK with it. I mix white seed and Madagascar together with one other thing.....I can't remember what it is called, but it has pellets in it.


If you want a sample of it, I'll take some out of the freezer for ya.....PM me your address.

Thanks Val! I can get a sample at Todds this weekend. What kind of seed do you mix in? Im thinking to take them all of pellets if not just Occy my Ekkie. If its says its complete, I wonder what it has supplement wise. Im starting to really question pellet use in general. What does it have in it to make it good for birds? I want to do right by these guys.

Val Thanks so much for your offer. Thats really nice of you!!

You can click on the different foods and it will bring up the ingredients. I don't believe there are any vitamin supplements in the GF blends. They would have to eat every morsel to get that complete diet.

You and I are going in the opposite directions. I am getting my two off off dried veggies, dried fruits and all seeds. I am now feeding Harrison's Pellets, Power Treats, Birdie Bread, Nuts and fresh supplements of sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, greens, mango and papaya..

Im concerned about Occy more than anything. Im curious, why are ypu switching onto pellets? Do the have supplements?

As me being a new bird owner and everything I have to say great information. Its something even I can use and I need all the help I can get lol. ~Jenna

Harrison's pellets are developed by an outstanding vet and are a complete food. One of my vets recommends Harrison's pellets with fresh veggies and fruit. He does not recommend any Goldenfeast as a complete diet. I use Magadascar delight more as desert than a food. I wouldn't feed it to my birds as a complete diet.

Leigh, I have always given pellets. But now I am eliminating all the less nutritious/empty calorie items from their diet, such as the seeds, dried fruit and veggies. I feel those food items were not giving them the BEST nutrition they needed and we have battled far too many health problems that are nutrition related. With the addition of the SpectraBird lighting here, we made a breakthrough with eating and I'm running with it. So from now on it's all organic fresh veggies, limited fruits, nuts and pellets.

Edited to add: I am also feeding Birdie Bread. I use either Harrison's Birdie Bread or make my own using Harrison's Mash.

I know the blend I currently use has Harrisons in it. Plus different type blends of dried fruits veggies nuts grains and herbs. The issue or maybe non issue is it has such a variety of other pellets in it. Im confused. What does the pellet offer and why shouldnt ekkies have it?

I used Harrison's for Knarly (that just passed) cause he was borderline diabetic....If you read the ingredients on the package of Harrison's, it is just crushed sunflower seed.

Leigh, to answer your question. I mix White Sunflower seeds in with the Madagascar & one other mix (that I can't remember the name of).
