Tom Quinlan, President of Parrots & Pellets, LLC has been breeding Sun Conures, Cockatiels, and Green Cheek parrots
for 20 years.  In 2006, Tom came across
[read about, received some, met with Mike U.,etc.] Dr. D's and began feeding it to
his birds. Impressed with the results, he began sharing samples of the feed with his breeder friends.  They too were
impressed, reporting bigger babies, brighter feathers, larger clutches, and larger, healthier breeder birds.  Tom also
shared samples with pet bird owners who found the results to be outstanding!  He began receiving inquiries regarding how
to order Dr. D's, but discovered that unless they were breeders, most bird owners found a 25 lb bag to be just too much to
order at one time.  They wanted to continue feeding Dr. D's, but felt the bags were just too large.

Because Tom had seen the results that could be had, he believed the Dr. D's diets were a worthy choice for bird owners and
wanted to make the food easier to order in smaller packages.
] This discovery lead Tom to the idea that if he broke down
the bags into small sizes, pet bird owners would be more likely to use the product and keep using it,
[hence his journey into
distributorship of Dr. D's Avian Pellets.]  
Tom decided to distribute Dr. D's, repackaging the larger quantities into 5 lb bags
for his clients.  

The response was overwhelmingly positive.  He now ships Dr. D's Avian Pellets all over the country, with many repeat
orders.  

Tom's goal is to give very personalized service and keep prices as low as possible so that bird owners all over the world
can benefit from the premium nutrition Dr. D's provides.
Dr. D's diets are grain-based, having no animal products in them.  Plant protein is less digestible than animal protein,
therefore the need [for an increase in the diets].  Plant protein is healthier and safer than animal protein.  In addition, the
exclusion of animal products helps to prevent E-Coli and Salmonella poisoning.  [20% plant protein is comparable to 15%
animal protein.]

There are no artificial flavors or colors in our feed for we do not know what long term health effects coloring dyes and
flavorings may have on your birds.

Pellets have a distinct advantage over seeds.  Dr, D's is a nutritionally complete, balanced diet, helping to reduce your costs.  
Birds eat approximately 20% less of a pelleted diet than they do a  seed-based diet.  Additional supplementation is really
unnecessary, though the
occasional treat is always welcomed by your bird (read more about this topic below).  The only
additional item you really need to offer is clean, fresh water.
When feeding a pelleted diet, it is recommended that you do not mix different brands of pellet.  We understand that folks feel
the need to supplement their birds diet...it just doesn't seem possible that one pellet could contain all the nutrients their birds
need.  However, Dr. D's is a complete and balanced diet, containing everything your bird needs to remain robust and healthy.
 There is no need for supplementation or mixing of other pellet into Dr. D's.  In fact,  mixing diets and/or changing the diet
frequently can actually short change your bird of the nutrients it needs to remain healthy.

Please, find a good diet and stick with it.  If you try a new diet for a few months and it does not work for you, please change it,
but it is wise to find a nutritionally complete diet and stick with it.  

TREATS:

Offering your bird treats from time to time will not hurt as long as you keep treats to a minimum. The reason behind this is that
to include more than 10% other foodstuffs can literally upset the balance of the diet.  This is true of any pelleted diet.  
Remember, Dr. D's is formulated by Avian Nutritionists with over 25 years experience in the field of Avian Nutrition!  To keep
your birds diet perfectly  balanced, please try to keep treats to less than 10% of the total diet.
