Homemade mixes can be a great way to care for your parrot—but they often lack the consistency, balance, and ingredient quality that expert formulations provide. Beakology blends are crafted by a Certified Avian Specialist using research-backed ratios of organic grains, seeds, vegetables, and herbs. Every batch is certified organic, free from fillers and additives, and made in a facility that follows strict food safety standards. It’s whole-food nutrition—without the guesswork.

Each Beakology blend contains naturally occurring nutrients from whole-food ingredients like vitamin A, B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3s, potassium, and SOOO many more—no synthetic powders, ever.

All blends are packaged in a facility that processes wheat and tree nuts. Please check the ingredients listed on the product pages for complete ingredient lists.

Wild Wellness, Blissful Balance, and Native Nutrition, all contain wheat. Essential Energy contains both wheat and nuts (pistachios).

Whole-food nutrition means we use real, recognizable ingredients—like grains, seeds, vegetables, and herbs—in their natural form. No isolated vitamin powders, no synthetic additives—just organic, minimally processed foods that nourish parrots the way nature intended.

Yes! Every ingredient in Beakology is USDA Certified Organic, which means it’s grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Our organic certification through Oregon Tilth ensures strict oversight, including supplier documentation, traceability, and compliance audits to maintain ingredient integrity.

Beakology blends are thoughtfully balanced with organic grains, vegetables, and herbs—not just seeds. While seeds are a nutritious source of healthy fats and protein, a diet made up entirely of seeds isn’t recommended for most parrots and can lead to nutritional imbalances over time.

When fed as directed and paired with fresh produce and high-quality pellets, our blends help provide variety without excess.

We’re committed to making choices that are better for birds and the planet. Beakology blends are made with USDA Certified Organic ingredients, which are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers—reducing harm to soil, water, and wildlife.

We also formulate and package in small batches to minimize waste and maintain freshness. Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we're always looking for ways to do better.

Squeeze excess air out of the original packaging after each use, reseal the bag tightly, and keep it in a cool, dry place. Blends are best if used within 3 months of opening.

All blends are handcrafted in small batches in Iowa, USA and certified organic by Oregon Tilth.

We don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing our products. Beakology stays freshest when stored in a cool, dry place in its original bag and sealed properly after each use.
