Switching from seeds to extruded pellets may not seem like an easy task for many, although it is quite easy for birds of all ages and species to switch to our Vital Pellets. However, switching to extruded pellets is worth it for the health and well-being of your parrots & parakeets. Most veterinarians, experienced breeders, and zoos recommend pellet-based feeding to keep your parrot actively engaged, promote a strong immune system, and boost overall health.

SHOULD I FEED MY BIRD SEEDS OR PELLETS?

Avian vets tell us that most of their patients are malnourished. The majority of these birds have received seeds for most of their lives. Owners say, "I just can't get my bird to eat pellets." Or, "My bird refuses to eat vegetables in bulk."

SOUND FAMILIAR?

The problem is that seeds are high in fat and low in nutrients. They are particularly low in amino acids, vitamins and essential minerals as well as omega fatty acids. These are essential nutrients that help the body and brain function properly.

Transitioning YOUR PARROT from seeds to a healthy pellet-based diet takes patience. But improving your bird's health and emotional state over the long term is the best decision you can make.
