"We have a new and young parakeet who hasn’t wanted to be weaned off seed diet. I bought this as a topper for our regular pellet brand and it did the trick!"

— lily

"I had ordered this about a week ago and as soon as i gave it to my bird she started trying to eat but it was too big for her. Her poop was dark green and I didn't understand why until i tried giving it to her on my hand and she couldn't even eat it. This was a waste of money."
