The vet says my Moms bird Poppy is chubby and needs to cut back on the sunflower seeds.** A: This seed mix is mostly safflower, which is better than sunflower. If your bird is eating too many sunflower seeds, I would suggest switching to a safflower blend, as Birdsafe Store mentioned. Higgins Safflower for Parrots or Volkman Hookbill would be good choices. Neither of these has the high fat sunflower seed. They are also good choices for Amazon Parrots, which tend to have trouble as they get older with higher fat diets. **Q: Is this only for African Greys and Amazons or can I give it to a Goffins cockatoo too?** A: My Goffins eat everything that my Amazons eat. They both love this mix except for the corn. They have never liked dry corn. But they especially love safflower seeds! **Q: Is this food a treat for parrots or a main meal like pellets?** A: Thank you for your question. This is a main diet for African Grey Parrots and other similarly sized parrots. BirdDog Depot is one of the few approved sellers of Avian Science and offers the freshest Volkman Avian Science seed mixes shipped FACTORY DIRECT to Amazon's warehouses so you can get the freshest food possible for your feathered companion. **Q: Why does this have a licorice smell to it?** A: Anise Star has a Licorice-type odor. It is the main ingredient in Tamiflu and is an excellent anti-viral. Best African Grey seed diet available. Best regards, BirdDog Depot ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best *by on Reviewed in the United States 18 August 2026* I have ordered this for years and years. My bird loves it though like with most food a lot of it upends up unused or maybe she is clearing out the nutty centers and leaving the tiny husks in the bowl. It can be hard to tell sometimes. I love the variety of it. Over time sometimes I wish there was more of this or that specific ingredient. Don’t need the cinnamon sticks because she just doesn’t dig em. Thought she might try over the years but they are ignored or dumped in the dish to make the water red. I like that it does not have that weird sprayed on vitamin or sugary smell. Wish it cost less but willing for pay for the quality and it has been consistent. Unless an alternative drops in my lap, this is always going to be her diet with shared table food supplementation ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Food--Preferred By Our Parrots *by on Reviewed in the United States 21 July 2023* As long-time owners of an African Grey Parrot and also a Macaw, we have used a variety of foods for our birds. We have always tried to find good value, but not at the expense of poor quality, or food that our birds don't seem to relish. Over years, we've tried many different food blends, but after finding and first using the Volkman Avian Science Foods some three years ago, we have used no other blended food. Our African Grey gets a combination of this African Grey food and sunflower seeds, and our Macaw gets a combination of the the Volkman Macaw food and pistachios. Both birds enjoy the food and maintain great appearance and health.This is not inexpensive food--and at times it can be limited supply. We have used three different suppliers over time (including Amazon), because it is not always consistently in stock at all places. I would welcome a little lower price--more in line with other more common foods--but they simply don't match the quality or are as well-liked by our birds, so I pony up the money to buy the Volkman. I have found this food to be consistently fresh and the same high-quality blend, sack after sack. All-in-all, based on our experience I can highly recommend this food for your parrots; I think it's worth the extra challenge and cost to locate and buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ African grey bird food *by on Reviewed in the United States 29 June 2026* Yes this is just like the picture my african grey loves this stuff ## Frequently Bought Together - Volkman Avian Science Super African Grey Bird Food 4lb - ZuPreem FruitBlend Bird Food, Bird Feed Pellets for Parrots, Conures, Caiques, African Greys, Eclectus, Small Cockatoos, ZuPreem Nutrition with Natural Fruit, Parrot Food, Conure Feed, (M/L, 3.5 lb) - Vitakraft Fresh Super Fruit Cocktail - Tropical Parrot Fruit Blend - Parrot and Parakeet Treats Browns 1.25 Pound (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/69356260-volkman-seed-avian-science-african-grey-parrot-beta-carotene-calcium](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/69356260-volkman-seed-avian-science-african-grey-parrot-beta-carotene-calcium) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
