LAFEBER'S Premium Daily Diet Pellets Pet Bird Food, Made with Non-GMO and Human-Grade Ingredients, for Parakeets (Budgies), 5 lb

Love this feed, only suggestion i have it to make pellets smaller for parakeets. I have to chop mi e up so my birds can eat. I love not having any waste from shells. They love the taste, freshness is wonderful, the value you get for your money is the best. It comes in a resealable bag easy to use.

Amazing!! My birds love it! i had 2 intially and they went crazyy for these pellets , yesterday i bought 2 more parakeets and they love it too. i transitioned my 2og birds from seed to pellets no difficulties but my new ones they ate pelltes off the bat!!

My two parakeets enjoy both the regular and fruit-flavored pellets. 🍌🍍🥭 The 5 lb. option is generally my go-to bird food, as you get the most bang-for-your-buck getting 5 lbs. for $32 vs. 1 lb. pellet options that are usually $20. 💵 They've recently changed the round plastic bin to a regular bag, which I don't mind. It saves space that way anyway. I haven't had any issues with the bag ripping thus far, but I'll update my review if so. I usually switch between LAFEBER'S, Harrison's, or TOP's, depending on what's on sale. They eat them dry or wet. 😚 The one thing to keep in mind with these pellets is that it contains "cane molasses." Since it's toward the end of the list of ingredients, I presume it isn't much and is added for flavor enhancement and/or binding.

I know this to be great food for birds. If your bird is a seed-a-Holic like my bird who was eating seed in the store when I got him, it's not an easy switch. I've tried going cold turkey offering nothing but the Lafeber's and I've tried mixing. He won't eat it. I suppose it's like taking a kid who has been allowed to eat sweetened cereal their whole life and turn giving them unsweetened oats. Healthy, but not an easy switch to an already ruined pallet. Next bird I get will be hand fed nutritious food from birth and never on seed.

I guess they are ok, I grind with a rolling pin, kinda big and hard.I can break with my fingers and crush with the rolling pin. I also use Harrisons parakeet pellets, which are much smaller. I also use Dr Harveys seed mix but wanted to have another brand to give them a bit of variety, so we will see, my guys are picky, eat their veggies but refuse fruits. They seem to be eating this brand so I may continue along with Harrisons pellets.

My birds wouldn't eat it, despite slowly transitioning. The customer service was friendly, however, so I gave stars for that.

I waste a lot of money for a pellet for find my both bird eat it well. I finally found !!! I'm so glad , they start to love this pellet . Green Cheeked Conure eat (hand feeding bought from breeder) first 1month he ate it but he more love to eat seed .i cut down each day and when he ate pellet always said "GOOD BOY " and very happy attitude to him after he grab few pellet by his feet and move to beak same time look at me all time. after i said he good boy or something he look happy and wink back . if your bird do not eat pellet bird find one master from family . they trust most of time , that person train then very fast to learn . if no trust between bird hard to change to seed to pellet , because parakeet was too old to train because he do not listen to what human said he just trust my GCC only. if he eat parakeet scary cat but start to eat same thing. GCC 75~80% pellet a day (lafeber's) 20~25% veggies& fruits, safflower seed ,millet as a treat . parakeet (still train to eat pellet) 20%~30% pellet and veggies& fruits (lafeber's) 80%~70% diet kaytee's seed PARAKEET (bought at pet store not hand feeding . he still land on me but still scared human's hand ) First time did not touch pellet at all , but i beat a pellet and make like almost powder, My GCC start little bit eat 2month ago it because i show parakeet that's food. your best friend eat it . they fly at house few hours a day , i only give them pellet out side and let parakeet try to eat same pellet as my green cheek dose . My birds tried in since may 2012 1 GCC and 1 parakeet both male ) (after fist check up at vet i found out i have to check poop color is healthy i studied i prefer Never give again colorful pellet) Harrison's super fine did not eat much but one parrot eat it . Zpreem's pellet natural color (never ate) fruit one just grab bananas one and just bite little bit and throw bottom of cage. kaytee's pellet rainbow never eat it . natural color never eat it .

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!

Very good

Bird love it. Seam good quality even if i am a beginner at it. Remember your budgie perokeet needs a diet that should be balanced diet of 70% high-quality formulated pellets, 20% fresh vegetables and fruits, and a small amount of seeds or millet. Always provide clean, fresh water daily. Be sure to completely avoid toxic foods like avocado, chocolate, caffeine, and fruit seeds.Safe Foods for Parakeets 1. Pellets & Grains Formulated pellets should be the foundation of their diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Grains such as wheat, oats, and barley are nutritious options. 2. Vegetables & Leafy Greens Dark, leafy greens are highly recommended for essential vitamins: kale, spinach, and dandelion greens. Chop or shred: carrots, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. 3. Fruits Always wash and cut into bite-sized pieces. Remove all pits and seeds from fruits like apples and stone fruits. Favorite safe fruits include: bananas, mango, melons, and berries. 4. Occasional Treats Spray millet or a small amount of seed mix.Cooked beans (thoroughly soaked and boiled) or a small piece of a hard-boiled egg can be given occasionally for extra protein. 5. Toxic Foods to Strictly Avoid Avocado Chocolate, coffee, and caffeine Apple seeds, cherry, apricot, and peach pits/stones (they contain cyanide) Onions, garlic, and raw potatoes Dairy products (parakeets lack enzymes to digest lactose) avocado, and fruit seeds saliva (NEVER SHARE FOOD DIRECTLY FROM YOUR MOUTH)

モモイロ、ムラクモ、タイハクに。どの子もペレットの好みはかなりうるさいのですが、こちらは三羽とも喜んで食べてくれるので助かっています！粒の大きさも好きみたいです。材料的にも完全なオーガニックではないにせよ、安全で自然派なので許容範囲だと思います。

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。

Excellent budgie (parakeet) pellets-my budgie loves them
