Waste of treats? Ideas on what went wrong, and what to do now?

Hello, I also live in a remote area. I feel your P&P woes. I haven't baked a bird loaf using driend treats before so I don't know if it would work, but I think there is no harm in you trying. You can report back to us if it is appreciated by your parrots or not.
Parrots cant eat it- too high in protein and would cause organ issues. But the chickens really liked it! I basically made a zucchini bread with pumpkin mash and through the treats in there. Still- I never got them to eat the stupid expensive bagged treats.

Ah I'm sorry I misread your first post. I thought you were going to try to feed the chicken treats to the parrots. It's a shame that your birds didn't want the treats. Could you try offering the "stupid expensive bagged treats" to wild birds? Maybe there's a very good reason your birds didn't want the bagged treats. Perhaps the dried insects taste horrible to the birds. An expensive lesson learned I guess.
 
It’s a slippery slope you’re on.
We mixed mealworms with our ladies feed for a long time, after a while they started picking out the worms and leaving the feed. Gave them feed with some scratch mixed in and they started digging through it to find worms, none in there, and walked away. Giving them a couple days to start eating the regular feed, and a pumpkin or 2.
Ladies got spoiled quick
