Switching From Seed to Pellets? | Topics 

Her: dont feed birds fatty seeds Her channel profile: CHONKY BOIS!

I requested this on tumblr and im so glad you did it, ive been having alot of trouble switching my budgie!

i mixed my pellets with seeds... and then slowly reduced the amount of seeds every time and after a while they were totally fine with just the pellets for my birds it was harder to get used to chop :D but the feeling was so great when they ate my chop for the first time xD i like those small challenges with my birds :D

This video was so needed I just ordered Tops pellets and I'm planning on switching my cockatiel

Great video! I love how your eyeshadow matches Mia! 💙

This video was very helpful, thank you. I got my bird 3 days ago and she was on a seed diet so I have just ordered Harrison’s pellets. My green cheek is pretty much tame already, she eats from the palm of my hand 😅 and knows step up and recall

Oh theres a trick to try with pomegranate juice! They go nuts over it if you can get them to try it!

Hey your vids really help me with my budgie she isn’t hand tamed and I’m having a lot of trouble taming her.Her name is Luna and I give her a seed and pellet mix but she doesn’t eat the pellets.

Thank you for making this video my parakeet has been on a seed diet with other fruits and vegetables but then I tried this for my parakeet and he loves it 😊🕊

All of these worked! Thank you so much for the advice... I got two parrots who were not use to veggies or fruits on a full seed diet and each of these had them trying the new food, real veggies, fruits, and healthy treats that.

I figured out the mushy pellet trick and it's so good to have it reconfirmed by you but I've never heard of the UV light one. Wow. Thank you so much for this which has been on y mind for the past few weeks.

Amazing stuff as always!

All my birds came to me on sunflower diets. It took little time to switch them to pellets, with my IRN being the most difficult. My conures are my best eaters. But not one of my birds will eat sunflower seeds. Not even as a treat. Their fav treat is apple. I feed Roudybush

Great video! I love this channel! ❤ I have been getting my peach faced love bird to go from a seed diet to pellets... right now we are on 50/50 seed to pellets ratio. Be patient guys it can take some time! There are also a big variety of pellets to try, if one type doesn't seem to interest your birdy friend, there are other options. I use 2 pellet types; coloured pellets and uncoloured pellets for my bird and have definitely noticed more pellets being consumed since.

Awesome video! Thanks for the tips! Btw, I LOVE the makeup! It’s the perfect match for your birdies!

Nutriberries & pellet berries. All mine eat them. 1 indian ringneck & 5 budgies. I have had success with Top's bird bread too. They will eat Harrison's bread but they prefer Top's. I add Top's pellets with the seed mix I feed as I won't feed 80% pellets. I also add a little egg feast to the chop & calcium twice a week.

these are some of the most helpful ideas anyone has ever given for me as long as i've had my budgies, i can't get them to eat pellets, but i had never thought of softening them in water, i have tried adding them to chop before, but i'm still struggling to get my birds to eat chop, so... these are very helpful, thank you!

Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much the first one helped me so much.

Thanks this vid was really helpfully!😊

Thank you so much for making this video I requested! Much appreciated

This is not related but I LOVE your makeup and I LOVE your hair so pretty 🤩🐦😊

You’re ideas have always been so genius! My bird eats everything, but I didn’t know I could add the tops to the chop, he might actually like that.

Very very helpful. Thx.

Thank you for the video you're one of my top 2 parrot youtubers that I go to when I need help 🤗🤗

@Flock-Talk - I hope you're going to do more videos soon! I love your teachings and all of the great tips you've shared over the years. Do you do consultations as well? Thanks so much! I've watched pretty much every video you've done. Excellent work! So appreciated!

Thanks for your information. And your birds are so cute and lovely 😍😍😍😘❤️❤️💓

This channel gave me alot of info.. thanks 👍

I'm glad to see you putting effort into producing good videos along with helpful bird tips and tricks. I would suggest adding a microphone set up for better output. Thanks for the videos!

FB bird groups seem to be very against pellets. We've had our budgies for a couple of months and so far they seem to not like pellets but I think the issue was the pellets were too big in size in the first food mix I bought. So far they love carrots and like cucumber and are ok with apples but they are terrified of bananas and today my attempt at treating them to worms resulted in hyperventilating -_- I will try your suggestions to get them to eat the pellets.

Please please do a video on what to and not to put in your birds play and regular cage PLEASE I am a new owner and I need help.

I love watching these videos because the birds are so cute and they’re so helpful, but I don’t even have a bird. 😅 💀 This is making me want one even more, even though I’m not getting one for a long time.

Thankyou! I’m going to be switching a green cheek when I bring him home in a few days!

Nice

Leaving this in case it helps, my birds just started eating pellets (by “just started” I mean minutes ago) thanks to a toy that dispenses food when they spin it. I bought it last week and they would use it more than their food plate. I noticed that they started eating all the seeds of the seed mix when I put them there (they only picked the millet). I just filled the toy with pellets and they started eating it (I didn’t remove the seed mix from the other food plate, and they are still being picky with the things I put there).

The mushy pellet worked for me😁

Can you share a healthy seed mix recipe for people who do not have access to quality pellets? This would help so so much

omg I'm getting a parrotlet and I've had one before and he didn't want to eat pellets. This is the best idea ever! Thank you soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi my bird learned how to shake hands and thanks that vid was really helpfull😊😊

I wish pet stores already give them this and mainly greens

My Quaker is 10 weeks old I handbred her on her porridge. I give her veggies now. She refuses seeds.

I have a question, how do I take my bird out of his cage, I know it sounds kinda random but I always try to take him out of the cage but he always runs away from me and bites me, my bird is a cockatiel

My conure loves this nutrition mush

Could you do another Cage review video please 😁?🐦

It took me about a year, with all kinds of methods, one point though they always wanted whatever I was eating, in the end all it took was me eating some pellets in front of them then they actually wanted to eat them!

Hi you just help me so much beacause it seem that it is no healthyer anymore to feed seed and today we just receive the Harrison pellets and I am just above to find how to change seed to pellets

Very fast transition. I wanted to change my 6 month old Quaker since he was eating only seeds, I used to feed him veggies in the morning one day and the other is seed so his poop stays on the non-liquid side, a snack of fruits during the day and I still give him baby mix once a day but during the day he always eat seeds and he eats seeds before bed! I wanted him to eat the more healthy pellets. Day 1: I placed only pellets in his plate so he try them and he just tasted them and threw them away. Day 2: I soaked them for 30 seconds in 40 degree C and placed them in his bowl in the morning, he ate some bit just a little bit, then I replaced them with 50% seed and 50% pellets. Day 3: In the morning I placed some pellets inside his vegetables so he learns that they are food even more. And during the day I pretended to eat pellets from his bowl and making crunching noises and he was really interested and booom at night he had a nice pellet dinner! It was thankfully so fast that I was very happy about it. Maybe pretending t eat them is the sweet spot or maybe its the combination of all what I did? I don’t know but that was my experience I hope it helps you guys. Thanks for the great video.

Great video. Please keep them coming. I have a question: I’ve been feeding my cockatiel Nutriberries and Avi-cakes almost exclusively. They have seeds in them. Do you think this is not healthy? He does get a little chop for breakfast but hardly makes a dent in it. Thanks, hun.

How often I need to change pallet food bowl? Do I need to change daily like seeds? My budgie does not finish pallet food bowl, maybe 1/4 at the most in a day. Please advise how often/frequently I need to replace pallet food bowl please. Thanks

Which of Tops pellets are being used ?

Hi

Hi, i like your channel very much. But my problem is that in my country don't sell pellets, only seed mixs(I've been surching), Will it be enough for the budgie to it this and chop.

For me when people say just mix the pellets into the seeds, that has never worked with my severe all she does is eat the seeds and ignore the pellets

Ive tried the first two (as im saving for the UV lights) and my bird just kicks our the pellets to get the seeds.. and is afraid to try any veggies... hes 10 weeks old and i got him 100% untame... hes stepping up for millet and target training for millet but he wont eat his pellets no matter how hard i try! I even put a little on the millet and he wont eat it...

Hey flock talk, I need help with my bird. So basically he comes onto my hand like normal and then gets a treat when he gets on. But then as soon as I phase out the treat he leaves my hand. He doesn’t preen or anything in my hand and isn’t comfortable staying there. If I target him on it’s the same thing. If I give him a longer lasting treat he takes it and leaves. He doesn’t like any other positive reinforcements and just leaves. He doesn’t like me too much and he is a biter. I’ve tried everything. Pls help. He goes on my hand only for the treat. :(

I am your new subscriber 😄

Also, how do you keep them from pooping on the monitor in the background?

What pellets do you recommend?

Can you tell us how to convince parents to get a bird and how to get one a prepare

I bought two budgies and I have a stainless steal food bowl for them and I put the seeds and pellets in there but they just won't look at it or eat them? have any advise?

Do budgies break open their pellets like they do the shell around the seeds ?

Please anyone tell me what is the difference between seeds and pellets?🙏😊 PLEASE

heyyyyy

Third one doesn’t work when you have a blind/vision impaired bird. Try birdie bread instead.

I don't know what pellets to feed my budgies. I can't find any organic brands in Australia that make pellets for budgies :( I tried a brand for small-medium parrots that was formulated by vets but they were very hard and a bit too big and they didn't even try them, even when I offered them in many different ways

Recommended pellets for budgies

Ok so this has nothing to do with the video but I have a question ok so recently I bought the kaytee Forti diet budgies seed from petco for my budgies as I was low on the pellets I got from petsmart which I really didn’t want to get seed for them but I thought that they wouldn’t have food soon as bad food is better than no food so I got the bird seed that the petco lady recommended (regrettably) and then as soon as I got home I ordered some more pellets I feed my birds chop and pellets however the bird pellets came in earlier than I had thought so thankfully I hadn’t had to use the bird seed since the pellets came in the next day but now there’s another problem I lost the receipt so I can’t return it and i have no idea what to do with it since I have no plans on feeding it to my birds can i sprout it for them or would it be a bad idea?

Hey I have an idea for your channel maybe... if you happen to have too many types of food. I wanted to try this myself so. I wanted to see what food brands and kinds that my bird likes and will eat in a day. I wanted to have a spoon each of chop, tops, pellets, Harrison’s, golden feast legume blend... just see what happens threw out the day., maybe even try some moist pellets on some. Idk if that’s a good idea, I just am trying to figure out what my 1 parakeet eats in a day. And what balance is he eating it. I might weight the food.

I will try these methods with my budgies! Luckily my baby conure tries to eat everything. Even things I dont give him

Each method that you show dont work with Quicky my cockatiel. Since he is born, he will let him die before eating pellets. I had to give it like his mother and as well he rejected it...

Can a ring necked parrot and a parrotlet live togerther

Are pull noodles safe to use as bird toys?

ive been trying to get my cockatiels toeat fruits bt whenever they touch something wet they just nope right out ill try this UV light method

I've been trying for months to switch my cockatiel but he'd rather starve to death than eat pellets I'll tell you. And he only likes carrot and green beans so it's frustrating

I'm going to try this my bird throws a hissy fit and chucks his pellets on the floor thanks for this video

Should I try withholding their seeds until they try the pellets or fresh food?

Hey guys, please help me out here! Im thinking of getting a cockatiel in a few months, but I can't find any pellets around the pets store in my country. What should I do? Is there anyy replacements? Can my bird have a veggie seed diet? (I do know they cant have an all seed diet) Any replies would help me out so much so please comment

I have an albino and one blue budgie,the blue one doesn't bite me and he is untamed but I taught the albino one to step up my finger and he did but now she doesn't do it that much and now-a-days she bites me and the blue one a lot and sometimes she tries to feed the blue one but he doesn't like it and sometimes she(albino) doesn't let him sit on a perch she just fights him a lot now-a-days also I made a swing for them but they don't like swinging I never forced them to swing but they don't like to swing also tell me what my whole comment means about my budgies and I want them to breed but they don't I don't think the blue one (male) doesn't want to pls answer my question and I don't care if the video is too long me and my bird's like to see u and your birds🥰
