I bought several flavors of 8in1 bird seed. This by far was our bird's favorite flavor. I can't give a more detailed review since I am not the one eating the seed but for some reason our bird loved the honey flavor best! I liked the fact it was in a canister and not a bag since the bags spill so easily.

have tried several kinds, like all of them even though they don't last very long.

We love this song food, but the canary loves it even more. When we feed him this 8 n 1 song food he will sing everyday. We've tried other brands, as we can not find this locally anymore, and his singing stops after a few days without his 8 n 1.
It's a really good product, far above the others.
A big thank you to Amazon and it's sellers for keeping this product available to us.

The first thing I noticed when I opened eCOTRITION Tropical Fruit & Seed, was a very pleasant smell of fruit. I had not expected that bird seed would actually smell nice. It smelled like real fruit and I could sit little dried bits of fruit like papaya in the mix.

Unfortunately, my parakeet doesn't think the fruit is as appetizing as I do and refuses to eat it. She's not a big fan of fruit in general though, which is why I tried to find it in "seed" form. I'm sad that my bird doesn't like this seed since it would be nice to have her cage area smell like fruit.

I had never tried this type of bird feed before. Our birds seemed to love it because they gobbled it right up. I certainly would buy this product again.

A good addition as a treat but not to be used as a main diet. Birds seem to enjoy the mix and were quick to empty the treat cup.

Ummmm, ... sorry for taking so long to respond to your review request but I had to wait for my canary to empty his mouth to give me his personal review of this product. "Yummy" he says. Okay, seriously, I looked everywhere for this product and there was none to be found on the shelves. My "reserve" started running low (I mix this product in with Buddy's regular food all year around and step it up at "moulting time"). But when I got down to near empty on my supply half-way through the annual moult and I was unable to find it online at PETCO or in any of the big box pet stores and my local pet shop had it on back order forever (since every canary moults in the Summer and thus a shortage), I turned to who else but Amazon? Who'd a thunk that Amazon carried Ecotrition moulting food? Seriously this is an awesome product and it MUST taste good because after Buddy started moulting I also gave him a small treat dish of it daily which he devoured. Some moulting food products are sandy and unappetizing looking and sit in the treat dish or are overlooked in the food cup, but this looks like regular treat. Speedy delivery as usual on Amazon's part :) We both give it a thumb's (er...foot's) up!

My husband and I have 16 finches. This is a great food to have. Last year two of our Zebra Finches bred 5 finches. This food is great for nutrition and for birds when they are in the process of breeding. It's also great to keep on hand.

For some reason my birds are not crazy about this. I thought it would be comparable to nutriberries but it is not the same.

I had a parakeet who lived 12 years and my current one is in his 4th year, and the key to good health is diet. Choose a popular staple diet seed from a reliable company and always stick to the same brand as keets have delicate constitutions. Rotate seed variety treats every day, a tspfl of 8 in 1's are our choice (competitors are out there, but stick to one quality brand), the greens, fruit, or moulting treat seeds mixed in his reg seed with a drop of wheat germ oil or skin-plumage oil mixed in. Store each seed treat separately to prevents weevils.
