Cons

• This SKU is the non-breeding Small Bird Diet, not Mazuri Small Bird Breeder and not Mini Bird Diet (parakeets/finches/canaries — different PDP).
• Ground corn and soybean meal lead the ingredient list. Complete on the label is not a homemade chop. We are not avian veterinarians.
• Transition still needs a scale. If the bird stops eating, the PDP says restart from 50/50 — do not starve a bird onto pellets.
