Good idea Marianne!! Have just signed it.. I'm sure my two miss them badly!! I did send an email to Trill a few weeks back and they sent a very nice reply back saying my feedback had been noted etc etc... Worth a shot I'd say!

[ginger]

I did wonder what had happened to these. Have been able to get them for ages and my little ones love them! Have signed

[charlie1997]

I did post about trill toppers a few days ago,
thanks for doing that marianne

[Marianne Marlow]

I did put an Epetition on the government Website asking for them to intervene but unsurprisingly they rejected it!

The rejected petition is here: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/33374

They said:

This e-petition has been rejected with the following reason given:

E-petitions cannot be used to request action on issues that are outside the responsibility of the government. This includes:

party political material

commercial endorsements including the promotion of any product, service or publication

issues that are dealt with by devolved bodies, eg The Scottish Parliament

correspondence on personal issues

That's a shame Marianne

Just thought I'd post the reply I got to the email I sent to them:

"Dear Laura,

Thanks for getting in touch about our Trill Toppers.

I'm afraid we've stopped making Trill Toppers. After seeing a gradual decline in sales we undertook some market research which showed this particular product to be the least popular in the range with our consumers.

Although there aren't any plans to reintroduce it at the moment, we're always reviewing our range so I'll give your feedback to our marketing team in case that changes.

If you'd like any further advice or information, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Kind regards."

Nice that they took the time to reply, Laura. Maybe you should all email them asking about them, then they may "review their range" to include them again.

I find it hard to believe that budgie treats are outside of the UK government's purview. Honestly. As if they've got anything else more pressing to do.

[ANDY MAC]

It's funny how theses companies say about research, I've not come across this yet or had it done on me, has anyone else been researched on this? Even when I asked about having Trill in 10kg sacks they replied there is no need for this size, do they know how many people keep budgies in this country.

I will e-mail them and ask these questions.

Ps has anyone got there address or link

[daisyandtom]

I just filled out the form on this page Andy:

www.trill.com.au/feedback.asp

And Hezz, you're right, it was nice they took the time to reply. In fact, because it was a feedback form I was writing on rather than a direct email to someone, I didn't think anyone would actually reply so I wrote stuff like "Noooooooo! You can't get rid of trill toppers, my budgies will never forgive you" etc etc.. I was a bit mortified to be honest when I got a reply knowing someone had actually read my ramblings haha!!!
