I feed my toucanet the Mazuri pellet, and for toucans it is definitely the best pellet. I don't know about their parrot stuff though.

My cockatiels really like the Mazuri I get for my toucanet, in fact I discovered my mostly very picky 'tiels would eat pellets when a few of them got a hold of food the toucanet had dropped (getting most of my 'tiels to eat anything but seed and the occasional lettuce and parsley has been an on going challenge for me, it's just finally now that I've found ways of getting them not to avoid most of what they are offered).

The Mazuri pellet I have isn't formulated for parrots though, it's much lower iron than necessary for them, and may be higher in protein than they need (though I'm not quite sure about that), so I just let my tiels have some once in a while as a treat. I give my 'tiels roudbush pellets (they have a low fat one that I've found has really helped my one overweight 'tiel lose weight, but have not led to my other ones being underweight), but they still like the Mazuri better.
