	At first glance I, too, also thought Topper was overpriced.
	However after using his feed for a bit over a year I have found
	that my birds waste less of his feed than of other feeds I
	have tried.  In fact I pay twice the price for his feed compared
	to the feed I used before AND I only buy half as often so I'm
	still spending about the same.  So it's truly not anymore expensive
	and it's much better for the bird.  Richard Topper is also a 
	very reputable fellow.
