They are very crazy birds
Seeds are a great part of the diet but should not be the only part of the diet.By my mind, this type of feeder is the best for water and foods. And I would still try to offer them rather seeds than pellets : Krmítko otvorené na zavesenie 130ml 9cm - petparadise.sk
Although seed is what budgies eat in the wild, they also get a ton of exercise and vitimin D from the sun. pellets are built specifically for a budgies needs, if you look at the ingredients there is other stuff to benefit their health. There are poeple who do deep studies on our birds diet, and I choose to trust them on my budgies diet. It is not natural to give them pellets, but it's also not natural to keep them as pets.Yes, I recommend you to convert them on seed mix, they are more natural for them. Do not be affraid that the seeds themselves will cause fatty liver or what.... Try to find grass seeds and canary seeds for your birds. If not, prefer normal millet seeds withouth sunflower and cardy.... Try to get them red millet sprays... Not just like a treat, but you can also use them regularly like a normal food.
Birds are very stubborn, as long as you give them your best, your birds will be good.It's empty, I tried to make them eat, but when I was at school they continued kicking. I bought a feeder, but it didn't last very long and got stuck.
Any kind of diet needs veggies, mine ate their veggies with the zupreem pellets, so I can't see why yours can'tIf they like the zupreem colored, do you think I can give them that will veggies and sprouts?
Absolutely.If they like the zupreem colored, do you think I can give them that with veggies and sprouts?
Thanks, cool that everyone is in the forum at the same time.Absolutely.
Mine were not healthy on a seed mix, and it was a good quality seed mix too. I supplemented veggies as well, but they still were not that healthy.Yes, I recommend you to convert them on seed mix, they are more natural for them.

If you feed them 100% pellets, yes, budgies can have issues with kidneys. However, no one on this thread is saying to feed an all pellet diet. For budgies, I wouldn't recommend over 50% of the diet being pellets. Just like 100% pellets is bad, so is 100% seeds.Not each budgie withouth vitamine D is going to struggle health problems... You have your own choice... I do not choose pellets also because I do not want to charge their kidneys... I wonder if there is any parrot who is kept on pellets with healthy kidneys. I would say no.
There are studies of large parrots on 100% pellet diet for decades. Can't remember if it was Harrison's, Rhodybush, or Tropican. One of those, I think. Pretty sure all three done some testing.Not each budgie withouth vitamine D is going to struggle health problems... You have your own choice...
