Hhmmm...not sure...we don't have as many big birds as you do...

...the bird products cost a fortune, but I've wised up and only give as much as I think they'll eat in a day...a big bag (~$22) will last me a good 2 months or even more (I should write it all down now that my routine is in place)...

I check 2X a day to make sure the pellets are always there...so I'm wasting MUCH less compared to what I was before...

I have a dish of Parrot gourmet 'diet'...the stuff with the seeds and dried fruit in it...on hand...but only outside the cage (i.e. on the playstand)...

...and I do buy frozen fruits and veggies in addition to fresh veggies...but they seem to prefer the fresh...but they eat what we eat, and they really only eat about as much as a 1 year old child, or less, all told, daily...so I don't even notice that amount...

...so let's see if I can estimate: I think around $53-55 for all 9 of our birds...
