Tropical Fruit Gourmet Pellets Pet Bird Food, No Added Sugar, Made with Non-GMO and Human-Grade Ingredients, for Parakeets (Budgies), 5 lb

My budgie refuses to eat these in pellet form so I grind them up dry in the blender and mix it throughout her seed along with Higgins bird greens. I don't think it has anything to do with the food itself as birds in general usually are stubborn about eating pellets. My zebra finches are the same way about Lafeber zebra finch pellets. Just wanted to offer advice to anyone having issues with their birds.

Quite good

5 of my budgies don’t care for it while only one does. My baby parrot does like them sometimes. They are quite large for small parakeets

My dove was on seeds only. I didn't know that I was supposed to give him pellets. I read it could be difficult for them to transition from seed to pellets and that they may not like them. I mixed a tablespoon of seeds and a tablespoon of pellets in his bowl. I noticed that he ate all the pellets and they were still some seed left. I'm guessing he really enjoys these pellets!I will be sticking with this brand and not switching since he enjoys it so much.

My birds seemed to like it but gave the runny stool.

I almost returned these pellets because it seemed like my budgie couldn’t bite into them. I started wondering if I could wet them, so I went to lafaber.com/pellets like it states on the back of the bag and checked out ways to introduce the new food to your parakeet. At the bottom it mentioned moistening the pellets, but warned to clean the dish out every few hours because of bacteria. I tried just that, and my young budgie chowed down. What a difference it has made! She was previously getting tired from a few short flights or walks around the room, but now she loves being out and is almost hyperactive. She really seems like she has so much more energy. I bought these because she was only eating the seeds out of her other food (a mix of seeds and these biscuit things), and she only eats fresh veggies if I hand feed them to her. I like that I don’t have to take the time to crush these pellets up, as I’ve seen other reviewers mention, but I do have to pay more attention to making sure the pellets get cleaned out properly a couple times a day. If my budgie stays happy with these I’ll keep buying them for her.

My birds love these pellets now. If you want to ween your parakeet off of seed, try a method (that worked for me) of grinding the pellets into a meal consistency (you can roll them with a rolling pin in a plastic bag they’re pretty easy to crush) then mix in a little warm water so it’s like a semi-moist oatmeal. Then add some seeds that your birds normally eat. At first the birds will just pick through and eat the seeds but while they’re doing this they will start to identify the pellets as a food source and get a ‘taste’ for it. Gradually, every day, reduce the amount of seeds you put in. This way the birds don’t starve while you are weening. this whole process only took a matter of 3-5 days. Once you see that they are eating the pellet mixture you can stop adding seeds all together and begin to mix whole pellets into the meal. Honestly adding the warm water cuts way down on food mess outside of the cage. Anything remaining from the last meal should be discarded and start a new batch. Seeds/millet are now only an occasional treat and are now used as a tool for helping to tame my new parakeets. hope this helps I didn’t realize the importance of getting them on a good pellet is and that seeds are actually low in nutrition. I mix these pellets with another brand of fruit colored pellets and they seem to like it. Actually they come running to it when i put it in their cage!

Arrived ahead of schedule -terrific product-keeps my budgie healthy and happy

rapidité et efficacité

マメルリハにあげています。フィンチ用よりもこちらが好きみたいです。でもうちの子には食べ辛そうだったので少しすり潰してあげたら他のペレットよりよく食べました。

Very good
