1. Budgies have been known to live 25 years in the wild, 7-10
in our cages, dying from illness secondary to slow starvation.
2. Seed is a carbohydrate almost devoid of nutrients, often
fatty. Okay to 25% of diet (to work for food: relieve boredom).
3. HIDDEN MALNUTRITION...birds
will pretend to eat the day before they die to fool predators.
4. Per ASSN. of Am. Feed Control Officials, “It is
deceptive and misleading to make total diet
claims for avians other than poultry.” |

- Dr.
Raymond Cray's model R B & C mid 1980's RICE
BEAN CORN including
-
A
NATURAL BROAD LOWFAT DIET of real food
emphasizing high vitamin A rich foods & calcium.
For Example: Sprouts. Dark leafy greens, yams,
broccoli. Red & orange veggies/fruits: peppers,
carrots,
papaya. Whole grains, pasta, brown rice. PROTEINS: lean
meat, poultry, well-cooked eggs, soy tofu-increase when
moulting. Crazy Corn's 50 Irresis-Table Foods; a few
nuts-more
for macaws
- We
trust clients to make informed quality nutrition choices. It's
easy as birds eat everything, but DO NOT feed avocado,
chocolate, caffeine, alcohol. Avoid milk products
or limit to small amt yogurt, & lowfat cheese. SEED
OPTlONAL if
desired by birds.

When
first introduced, breeding production plummeted and there
were problems
including black feathers, hypervitaminosis A
(hardening of liver) and deaths, lawsuits.
- Can
ONE combination
of ingredients supply all necessary nutrients? Mother Nature offers
1000's of
phytochemicals
(plant chemicals).4000 so far identified, whereas
PELLETS TYPICALLY ARE ONLY 2 OR 3 GRAINS, sucrose
or other sugar, vits, preservative (i.e.ethoxyquin), artificial
dyes, flavorings.
- PET
BIRDS MAY HAVE DIFFERING NUTRITIONAL NEEDS because they're
ALL DIFFERENT SPECIES (Unlike dogs-all canines or
cats-all felines). They forage for varying diets worldwide
which we can't reproduce commercially.
Plus their needs may vary seasonally. Total diet claims
are NOTsubstantiated for any pet bird type
per AAFCO

1. OBSERVE! ALL hard foods go into the water
to make birdee soup.
Dry pellets shaved into birds’ mouth are like sawdust
with possible aspiration
danger.
2. “MY BIRDS WON’T EAT PELLETS.” We’ve received 10’s
of 1000’s of such reports. Is typicalinstinctual refusal due to “Bad Birds?” TRUST
IN NATURE!
3. Birds have the best sight in the animal
kingdom to see ripe fruit colors. They fly to & relish
varied diets. OBSERVE THEIR
PLEASURE WHEN EATING SOFT FOODS. Pinning
eyes & pleasure
sounds. Caged birds are dependent on us for a nurturing environment including
diet.
4 .Unlike Crazy Corn, the OTHER ingredient on all pellet
labels: INSTRUCTIONS on trying to coerce
birds to eat it. Unless weaned to pellets, will not recognize it as food. |
Each bird needs to be fed and sent home with soft foods, plus
an educated owner.

Personally Judee Kleinman, owner
of Crazy Corn, wants stores to feed properly, and won’t
use bird products labeled “complete”.
Her dream is to cure hunger, starting in pet stores. When she
entered 3 of her birds in a bird show in L.A., all took awards, & the
judge bought
Crazy Corn. On 3/5/00 Judee was a guest on KRLA radio with her
amazing talking nape KIWI. The avian vet host said KIWI was “one
of
the best looking Amazon parrots I have seen, a great example
of a parrot with very smooth, almost oily looking feathers, but
they are
very smooth.”
KIWI’s DIET IS REAL FOOD including
Crazy Corn - no seed, no pellets.
