Feeding pellets- how much?

[sprout]

Trying to switch to pellets fully. How much pellets should a conure and quaker be eating? I've just been putting a dish in their with a decent amount but I am throwing out alot. Their droppings look fine - I just want to try and cut back on some of the waste.

You could measure the pellets you put in the birds dish every day. Then measure the amt. left over at the end of the day. Do this for a few days and you will see how much your bird is eating.

I put about a table spoon or 2 out at a time , then if I need to add more later I do . I also got tired of throwing out stale pellets. They cost way to much to throw them in the trash at the end of the day.
