Pellet Query

[Avian Rook]

I bought these pellets for ny tiels and they love but i have a doubt regarding the fruit mix pellets whether i could give them everyday? as it is mentioned to have natural fruit flavour (could have sugar added). Because in the forum it was mentioned feeding sugar often can cause health implications in Cockatiel.
P.S. Thanks in advance

Maybe try offering the natural ones first, see if he likes them. If he eats them ,then you could just stick with those.

Both the fruit and natural have sugar. It's not ideal but a little bit of sugar IMO is better than missing out on vital nutrients that are missed in a seed only diet. If you can, feed the undyed ones as the dyes color their poops and make it harder to detect issues. They also usually have more waste with the dyed ones as they tend to pick out their favorites even though they taste the same!

It also usually makes it easier to convert to a different pellet later if needed/desired as many better pellets do not have dyes.
