"I was worried when I recently bought my little tiel because I always thought that pet birds only ate seed. Well my little guy loves his seed and I have heard about "seed junkies" not eating the healthier pellet diet. Well I don't have to worry any more. He loves this food. He'll even eat it when there is seed available. At first he wouldn't eat it, so I filled up his usual seed bowl with pellets and moved his seed bowl to a different area of the cage. He finally tried it and loves it. It only took a day or two to get him on them."
