The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, TOP's Parrot Food occupies a clear niche: it's the cleanest formulation in the pool — USDA organic, non-GMO, peanut/soy/corn-free — and high-trust r/parrots commenters who can get their birds to eat it tend to be evangelical about it, with one writing that TOP's is 'the ONLY pellet I would ever feed to my birds.' Chewy verified-purchase reviewers feeding Quaker parrots, African Greys, and cockatiels report similar enthusiasm. The honest counterweight comes from the same high-trust subreddit. One r/parrots commenter reports buying 'tons of TOP's' and having their parrots refuse to taste it.

What reviewers liked

  • USDA organic, non-GMO, peanut/soy/corn-free — the cleanest formulation in this list
  • Strong endorsement in multiple high-trust r/parrots threads from long-term users
  • Chewy verified-purchase reviewers report success across diverse parrot species
  • Avoids artificial dyes and preservatives flagged as concerns in seed-based competitors

Where it falls short

  • High-trust r/parrots threads include reports of birds refusing TOP's outright
  • Not vitamin-fortified, which r/parrots commenters cite as a meaningful nutritional gap
  • Premium price point similar to Harrison's
  • A comparison thread cautions about long-term protein and calcium levels in some formulations

Across the reviews

Synthesis · not our verdict

Across the reviewers we read, TOP's Parrot Food occupies a clear niche: it's the cleanest formulation in the pool — USDA organic, non-GMO, peanut/soy/corn-free — and high-trust r/parrots commenters who can get their birds to eat it tend to be evangelical about it, with one writing that TOP's is 'the ONLY pellet I would ever feed to my birds.' Chewy verified-purchase reviewers feeding Quaker parrots, African Greys, and cockatiels report similar enthusiasm.

The honest counterweight comes from the same high-trust subreddit. One r/parrots commenter reports buying 'tons of TOP's' and having their parrots refuse to taste it. Another raises a substantive nutritional concern: unlike Harrison's and ZuPreem, TOP's isn't vitamin-fortified, which some users consider a meaningful downside. A separate thread comparing TOP's to Harrison's flagged that very high protein and calcium can stress kidneys and livers with long-term use of certain formulations.

The trust-weighted read is that TOP's is the best choice for owners prioritizing clean, organic ingredients and willing to work through a potentially slow acceptance period, but it's not the safest default pick for a finicky bird or an owner who wants a fortified pellet.

Key specs

Source: Amazon listing
Highlight 1
We use suggested bird sizes but you ultimately choose depends on both the size of you bird and what size food pieces your bird normally prefers. Generally, if you go a little smaller with the pellet size then you will have less waste. TOP's All Size Hookbills Pellets is best suited for large and medium parrots, such as macaws, amazons, eclectus and cockatoos.
Highlight 2
TOPs is the only non-corn based USDA Certified complete diet bird food. Most other competing brands use GMO corn as the main ingredient. We don't eat GMO corn and do not think your bird should either
Highlight 3
Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients for a happy and healthy parrot. Naturally preserved with Rosemary, Rose Hips, Lemon and Orange Peel
Highlight 4
TOP’s outstanding pellets (4 lb) do not contain any fillers, like soy or corn, or BHA, BHT or ethoxyquin. We use only fresh, natural ingredients and avoid all artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sucrose/sugar.
Highlight 5
Measures 1/4" in diameter - Feed your companion approximately as much as they want each day, the pellets are cold-pressed to keep the natural nutrition intact.
