Where to buy parrotlet food?

Post by Amyrs2880 » Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:19 pm

Hey all, it has been a while since I have posted anything! I just had a question about parrotlet food (seed). I bought Pickle at a show and there was a booth there that just did bird food. They had seed mix specific to parrotlets so I was excited and bought a bunch (it is a great mix)....well now I am almost out! I was going to order it online from this company (I think its called D&D something or other...I will have to get the card out and check again.) but I went to their website and it is not working! I also emailed them and have not heard anything back...talk about frustrating. There is no where local that I can find that sells a seed mix for parrotlets. Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do/where I should get a good seed mix? The only pet store around is PetSmart..
Thanks!!

Also try www.foryourbird.com I find their prices are reasonable and beat some of the others even when shipping is included.

I ordered from the bird paradise web site-the food I chose was almost $5 cheaper there than at foryourbird.com and the shipping was about the same, I'm sure it is different depending on the item you purchase though. Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate it!!! :D
