Does anyone in California know what happened to the company that

Question

makes Gold Cup Myna bird pellets? I believe they were located in Los Angeles. My local stores are not carrying them any longer and I have not been able to find the name of the company that made them. My poor bird has been without them for a couple months now. I can find other brands of course but Sam, my bird, does not like them. The Gold Cup pellets were shaped like a small log, and that is Sams preferred shape to eat. He refuses the ones that are round like a coin.

If anyone knows of another brand that is log shaped please let me know. Thanks

Answer 1

Here's a company that lists these products on their website:

Consolidated Seed & Pet Inc.

Buena Park, CA, 90621 (e.g. about 30 miles south of LA)

http://www.consolidatedseed.com/0235141....

"GOLD CUP MYNAH PELLETS 25# 0235141"

Contact info:

http://www.consolidatedseed.com/contact1...

If for some reason that doesn't pan out, two other, more remote possibilities you might try:

This company, at least according to their website, still carries some Gold Cup birdfeed products, specifically Cockatiel mix and Budgie mix:

http://www.rosespet.com/

They're located in Santa Barbara, CA, about 90 miles from Los Angeles.  You might try contacting them to see if they can obtain the Mynah bird pellets for you.

A second possibility is this LA-based dealer that carries "Pretty Bird" Mynah feed; they might be another contact who might know about the pellets you're seeking, or the company that makes/made them:

Hope you can find these pellets once again for Sam!

P.S. Although "myna" is also an entirely correct spelling, most of the websites I came across when researching this spell it as "mynah", if that might help in finding more products like these.
