Scenic Bird Food pioneered the use of extrusion technology in 1984 to manufacture foods for exotic cage birds. Having developed this technology for bird food, we produce a light and crunchy morsel unlike any other pellet. Our morsels do not sink in water nor do they absorb moisture so fast that they fall apart. Many birds like to dunk or float their food before eating it and this is a feature that only Scenic offers its customers. Extruded foods are like pellets but with significant differences. They are light and crunchy, not hard, and usually are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes. You may add fresh fruits and vegetables to Scenic Bird Food when you offer it to your bird. A significant advantage to feeding Scenic is that you can mix it with the fruits and vegetables or feed it alone. You do not need to add vitamins or mineral supplements to our foods. If Scenic is fed in a separate cup and kept dry it can be left in the cage for twenty-four (24) hours. If it is fed wet or mixed with fruits and vegetables it should be removed before bedtime. The storage of our food is simple and easy. Store the food in a cool and dry location like a pantry shelf. After opening the bag, transfer the contents into a plastic storage container that has a good airtight lid. Do not use metal storage containers to store the food. On this page you can find the description of our food products and a list of the typical birds that eat each food. If you are not sure which diet may work best for your birds, please feel free to contact us. Please

Tropical
Bits also "soaks-up" water or fruit juices and makes
excellent fruit and vegetable "stews" for stubborn
birds who won't eat pellets or extrusions. It can even be heated
in "Soak and Cook" type pasta and bean mixtures. Both foods are a nutritionally complete diet and contain all vitamins and minerals as well as a higher caloric density than other foods. Our Lory Foods have thoroughly been tested on lories, lorikeets and hanging parrots. These birds can vary in weight from 30 grams (one ounce) to 275 grams (about 10 ounces). Historically, these birds have been offered liquid nectar solutions (LNS) as their diet. LNS are not appropriate, economical or safe for these birds. (See White Paper.) Lory Food is easy to prepare and feed. Feeding directions are available on this web site.
Invented and announced by Press Release in 1993 to caregivers worldwide, this food was been widely advertised and wildly accepted by bird lovers everywhere. We received complements from the Association of Avian Veterinarians for its innovation and relevance. Many claimed it even reduced the incidence of aspiration in young birds and allowed relatively inexperienced bird owners a chance to finish weaning their new pets. Many use it to re-socialize their pets as they reach maturity milestones. Scenic Handweaning Food is specifically formulated and manufactured to absorb 5 times it weight in water so that it can be fed to young chicks still on the syringe. This teaches early eating skills and decreases dependence. It also helps socialize young birds to a life in captivity with their human caregivers. Many stores use this product to introduce the new bird owner to their new bird regardless of the bird's age thus developing a bond of trust and care that lasts a lifetime. Just
as important, our Weaning Foods can be fed to birds of all ages
and become a part of their diet for the remainder of their life.
It is easy, safe, and fun to feed to the birds because of the
closeness it develops between them and you. It is now a "must
have" food in most homes. Invented and announced by Press Release in 1993 to caregivers worldwide, this food was been widely advertised and wildly accepted by bird lovers everywhere.

Many
ask us why our handfeeding formula is slow to mix. It is because
it contains proper levels of fiber to develop the young
digestive systems and fragile organs that are just beginning to
function in birds under twenty-one (21) days of age. Many
