Again, let me state, I am not attempting to “sell” you anything that will directly be to my financial benefit. I am no longer in the commercial parrot food business. The only exception is that I wish to sell you on good, wholesome nutrition to the benefit of your parrot and you, hopefully with less veterinarian bills, and hopefully more joy via a happier, healthier bird. And it is my sincere passion and desire to provide the companion bird community overall with information I believe to be vitally important to the well-being of their beloved birds.
Within this section of The Best Bird Food Blog I will attempt to explain, in somewhat of a chronological order of where they were placed in our foods, why I used each and every ingredient I used in our foods when our foods were in production.
I will attempt to explain why I chose to use those ingredients along with the nutritional reasons and the benefits the parrots received from those ingredients. Basically, my reason for choosing those ingredients, and purposely formulating them into our foods, was for the strict reason of providing a sound and solid nutritional health benefit to the overall well-being of companion birds. I believe that a strong and healthy nutritional foundation helps to stave off disease as well as prevent poor emotional dispositions. After all, healthy nutrition, and a healthy body, (spirit, mind and body) is the body’s first line of defense against disease.
Each ingredient that was found in our food had its own special purpose, and that’s what I want to discuss and explore with you. I want you to leave this site with an in-depth, clear and concise understanding of what good, solid, sound and beneficial organic, whole-food nutrition is about. I want you to understand so that you will want to feed a wholesome diet to your companion bird, and also to yourself. I want you to be excited about healthy nutrition. I want nutrition to be an adventure! Your bird depends on you. This means you have to care, not only for your bird, but yourself as well.

Hi Susan!
It is our sincere desire and intention to bring our foods back, and even a better version since new research information has been uncovered.
Our “way back” is hopefully going to be through the sale of our toy line. There is a poll on our blog site, just scroll down and let us know if you would be willing to purchase our toys, hopefully you remember them, the Rain Forest Foragers (TM) and our edible toys from the Beakery (TM).
Bringing our toys back and selling them will provide a foundation of capital to fund what we need to begin producing the food once more!
Thank you for compliment, support and encouraging words!
Machelle
I was soooo excited to see Birdelicious in my inbox this afternoon. Ms Allie will be so excited to see the green bag again. Will go check out the toy line to see how we can help fund the come back.

We are VERY excited too! We are eager to get re-started making our enrichment toys…and down the line all of our wonderful foods…the new and improved versions…after all of the new research information we have performed!
We plan on beginning on the toys right after the beginning of the new year and listing them for sale on our new toy site at http://www.TheBestBirdToys.com so stay tuned!
In the meantime please catch up on the new nutritional information we are providing on our new blog right here! We are really excited about this new information.

Thank you for stopping by and signing up to receive more educational materials! We look forward to more contact with you and Ms Allie!
Warmly,

I tried to take the ingredients you had on your bags for eclectus and make my own. I am the first to say I am not very good in the kitchen. My birds didnt think so either. Really would like even a close receipe . My ekkie NEVER looked so good as in the short 4 months that I found your product. Right now he looks …not so good. And my breeding macaws look really tattered too. Also Same as what the other people said about how happy mentally my birds were on your product. And I was happy because all of a sudden the ekkies just gleamed. The male ekkie I have had for 20 years and he NEVER looked so good EVER..not even when he was a 3 month old baby when I bought him. Really really miss you. I live in Yuma az..you had stated once that you may relocate to AZ. I would help with ? Property is cheap in Yuma. Well anyway I was watching tv and just thought I would cruz the web and see if I could find you…hoping you had popped back up to make bird food. There truly is nothing like what you guys produced. Sorry for rambling…but I dont think you realize how important birdelious was to us bird families. Best regards Carolyn Knowlton

Hi Carolyn,
It’s so VERY good to hear from you. I know who you are! I remember you well!
Thank you so very much for all of the good words you have said about our foods. We truly do believe in the foods we produced for companion birds.
Although I don’t think we ever realized how much of an impact we made on the bird community overall, even though that’s what we set out to do.
Regarding re-starting our business, we have ideas rolling around in our heads. But nothing seems to be solidifying as of yet…
My Very Best to you and your birds,
Machelle
I agree, my birdies are not as healthy as previously when feeding your food. Can you hire soneone to do it?

Hi Cheryl,
Good to hear from you again.
I had an employee producing our food before we abruptly closed.
Unfortunately there was more behind closing our business than just the production of our foods.
I was working 16-17 hours a day just trying to keep up with the overall business, office, writing, website, customer queries, etc.
In addition, I have a legal disability and it was getting worse, especially because of the parrot dust.
Now, in order to re-start the business, a huge amount of funds would be required. In this economy???
Have any ideas? I’m listening.
Machelle
Machelle, I want to buy your BirD-elicious again!! I do hope you are still making some? Wow, we so need to get back in touch!

Unfortunately, do to the economic situation in the Nation, and my health, no, we are not producing our foods. So sorry.
Hey, I am going to provide a link to your Naturopathic website, http://www.animalnaturopathy.org/ on my blog. -I just have to find a place for it!
Machelle
Can you give me a recipe for the Grey basic food? She has never been as well or happy with any other food and I’d love to make her some like you used to make, just for us.

Because our recipes are basically intellectual, copyrighted property, and we hold proprietary legal rights to them, no, we cannot give out the recipes. However, that being said, I will be discussing the ingredients of all species specific recipes on our blog. I cannot say when I will get to your specific species, but I will be discussing the general diets of parrots as well as the specific diets of each species. You may want to subscribe to the blog and stay tuned. Thank you for your kind words and your ongoing interest! I really appreciate your loyalty.
