LOVE = QUALITY FOOD<\/h3>

I developed the BBFE product line because my very own male Scarlet Chested grasskeet, named Corazon Lazuli, died right in front of me while at the vet during a blood draw.\u00a0\u00a0A lack of vitamin K in his diet, that prevented his blood from clotting, caused his death. When this happened I was devastated with grief, but I knew I could not let his death be meaningless. I had bought him and his mate with the intention of breeding them. His mate had died of lymphoma a few weeks earlier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

EXPERIENCE<\/h3>

When Corazon died I had already become a successful Owl finch breeder. At that time I had 37 breeding flights and my birds parent-raised all their offspring. In 1998 this was an unheard of accomplishment for this species.\u00a0\u00a0At that time I was known for selling bonded pairs of second and third generation, parent raised Owl finches.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

IMPORTANCE OF DIET<\/h3>

After Corazon died I had been feeding my birds all the foods that were recommended by breeders and experienced hobbyists: a variety of dry seeds, sprouted seeds, nuts, pellets, fresh fruit and fresh raw or steamed vegetables. However, after Corazon\u2019s death I knew there were serious problems with this type of random bird diet \u2013 it completely lacked\u00a0balance. I knew I had to make changes.<\/p>

Did you know that this type of diet is actually harming the birds we all love and care about? Why? Because these diets are missing essential nutrients vital for a parrot, or finch\u2019s, good health and longevity. That was a tough lesson for me to learn.<\/p>

Since 1982 my dogs and cats have been eating homemade raw diets that I made for them. In a flash, I realized that there was nothing available in the avian market that was comparable.<\/p>

This epiphany turned my interest and my focus away from breeding and towards learning about how to feed all my birds the most balanced and wholesome nutrition possible. At that moment the Best Bird Food Ever! was born.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

OUR SIGNATURE BLENDS<\/h3>

So I tapped into my background in holistic animal nutrition.\u00a0\u00a0My research led me to create my own sprouting blends for birds \u2013 the most nutritious and health producing bird food on the market today. Our sprouting blends are made from human-grade, certified organic, quality ingredients.\u00a0\u00a0They are rich in enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins and chelated minerals. And most importantly, they have been specifically formulated to have a balance of amino acids that provide Complete Protein.\u00a0<\/p>

And now, fast forward twenty years\u2014I\u2019ve been a staff writer at Parrots magazine, since 2002, and my passion for ending avian malnutrition has led me to create the only, \u2018Balanced\u00a0Exotic Avian Food Plan\u2019, available today. And this balanced food plan uses the BBFE Complete Protein Sprouting Blends as the foundational food in the food plan because of the wealth of nutrients it provides your birds.<\/p>
