We believe wholeheartedly that good health begins with good eating habits. We also understand how hard it is to offer your flock the best they deserve when life gets busy and there just isn't time for cookable foods. Many turn to pellets, but... have you ever looked at the first ingredient of even the "healthiest" pellets? Corn. Soy. Peanuts. FILLERS.
We've formulated Whole Balance to make up the 70% whole grains and legumes that nearly all birds' diets should consist of. There is no cooking involved, and no soaking, unlike many foods on the market. It's ready to go, right out of the bag! It can be mixed with fresh veggies and fruits, mixed into your homemade chop recipe, or blended with one of our own freeze dried chop mixes, which covers the other 30% of your bird's diet.
Since Whole Balance is 100% grains and legumes, and there are NO preservatives or supplements added, we recommend either a vitamin D3 supplement OR the occasional scrambled egg added to the mix for bird who don't spend a lot of time in the sunshine.
FEEDING HEALTHY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED! To recap, a healthy and natural diet consists of:
70% Whole Grains & Legumes
30% Veggies & Fruits
A quality D3 supplement, or the addition of scrambled egg.
It's really THAT simple.
Made from the following organic or non-GMO, minimally processed ingredients: Amaranth, Barley, Split Peas, Lentils, Millet, Adzuki Beans, Thai Red Rice, Garbanzo Beans, Oat Groats, Black Beans, Purple Barley, Mung Beans, Quinoa, Buckwheat Groats, Bulgur Wheat, Brown Rice, Kamut Wheat, Khorasan Wheat.
❓What is freeze dried?❓
Awesome. That's what it is. How many of us WANT to give our bird the best possible diet but find ourselves short of time? Just like eating healthy ourselves, life gets in the way, we get it. Trust us, we definitely get it! Buuuut... now you can give your bird fresh food with the convenience of simply scooping it out the same way you would pellets or seed.
Hellloooo, Bird Bites!
The freeze drying process is as close to feeding fresh as you can get. It preserves the freshness of the ingredients within and retains nearly 100% of nutrients. For comparison, dehydrated food only retains around 60%. That's almost double the vitamins and minerals.
🌎 Is Bird Bites Organic?🌎
Everything inside Whole Balance is either organic, or non-GMO, depending on availability.
⏳ What is the expiration date on Bird Bites? ⏳
When packaged for long-term storage, freeze dried food can last 25 years. We currently package Bird Bites for individual use, so we recommend using within a couple of years of purchase. Once opened, we recommend using within 6 months and squeezing the air out and re-sealing the bag tightly after each use. Since freeze dried is immediately reconstituted to a fresh consistency by adding water, moisture, even humidity in the air, is the enemy of freeze dried food.

Thought i would give this food a try.... it didn't go well. I didn't expect Billie Blue to eat it but i thought Thor Jasper would go for it. I was wrong. Even got it wet for a softer food. Ugh, nope.......I just have picky parakeets. I do recommend the food because it's a great price for a good food. Just not for picky birds, haha.
My parrotlets LOVE this treat. We do it as a daily snack for play time (it’s also great when they are extra hyper and you want to quiet them down!). The quality is top notch-there is nothing in this blend they will turn down.
I buy all of Tweetie Pie's food from A Bird Toy. She loved her Cooked and Freeze-Dried Grains and Legumes. I always love it when I find a new food she enjoys. So glad I tried these. Thank you so much for your fast service too!
The birdies love everything. They fly around circling me so excited to get their food. Thank you for making feeding them easier AND healthier!! Lifelong customer here.
💚💙My Blue Crowned Conure ZaZu started digging in right away:) I'm so happy that I have found a healthy & great quality feed that my precious boy enjoys eating! This is now my go to for all his food:) Highly recommend💚💙
I buy the grains and legume mix for my hamsters because I create my own food blends for them. They love it, both the taste and the crunch. Plus it saves me time in not having to pre cook and not having to buy a bunch of products for their carb base.
I have two African greys and two Indian ringnecks. I mix the trio i received together and each bird loves it. Yes I will be a returning customer! If my birds are happy then so am I!!
My budgie trio brothers started eating it the day it arrived:)
Will show pictures of before and after they ate.
Excellent shop arrived fast and packaged well.
My bird loves this! I've tried it and I think it's really good as well! The pasta tastes like pasta only crunchy and some of the other ingredients taste like Cheerios. I pretty much try all of his food. I can't expect my bird to eat something that I think tastes horrible!
Within the lower 48 states. Most orders ship the same or following business day.
