AVI-SCI, INC. IS THE ONLY PELLET SUPPLIER THAT GUARANTEES OUR PELLETS FRESH
FOR 90 DAYS FROM THE TIME YOU ORDER OUR PRODUCT.  

WE WILL SHIP YOU REPLACEMENT FEED TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE (INCLUDING SHIPPING)
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THEY BECOME MOLDY OR BUGGY.  
Being a natural product without
insecticides, there is a slight chance of this after about 5 months or so, but the risk is much less than with
whole seeds.  Our pellets contain no sunflower seed so you will never get moths from them. You can store the
pellets for 2 years safely in a freezer. Since we are the manufacturer and not just a distributor of our pellets,
you can be assured of receiving fresh pellets from us.  The problem with most of our competitors is that you
can not order directly from them but are forced to place your order with a distributor.  Those distributors, in
addition to marking up the product for additional profit for themselves, needs to order a large amount of feed
at a time for resale. So they may ship you product that has already been sitting in their warehouse for
months.  When you receive it from them, it is already old.  When we ship you pellets, they are always fresh.

When you look over our ingredient list, it is important to pay attention to what you
do NOT see as well as what is listed.

We do NOT add any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives as we do not know what long
term health effects these may have. We add no sugar as others do. We add no meat scraps.
We add no ethoxyquin, but use natural preservatives such as Vitamin C and  Acetic Acid (a
mild acid, like vinegar).  If you look at the ingredient list below, you will see that everything
underlined below is the technical name for the natural preservatives we use.
Dr. D's Maintenance Diet - Feed this diet under several conditions:

  •  To the birds after 8 months old.
  •  To the breeder birds when not set up for breeding.
  •  To your pet bird as the only food.
NOTE: Dr D's diets are balanced complete feed to produce optimum growth, feathering, vigor, and
reproduction when used as directed.  Additional food items such as greens, cuttlebone, vitamin drops,
mineral supplements, egg food, and resting food are not needed or recommended.  Dr D's diets have all of
the nourishment those extra foodstuffs would supply. They are needed for seed type diets or those
inadequately formulated. Keep treats to a minimum - think of treats as giving candy to a child; keep them to
less than 10% of intake. We also don't recommend blending different types of pellet diets together.
