My birds have never really had pellets and I've always given them Harrisons mash with fresh chop and a dry seed mix with herbs and vegetables added but I finally found a pellet that they can have, which helps me out a lot as I can use it for enrichment and also reduce their seed intake. I expected it would be difficult to get my conures, Sierra and Tequila to like them but after a taste of one they absolutely love them! It will be a lot cheaper to feed them this way too, and easier for other people to look after them when I go on holidays!
Here's some pictures of them enjoying the pellets (and helping me write this post!)

It's pretty bird natural gold, I didn't expect them to like them so much! My budgies aren't convinced they're food though so I'm having troubles getting them to eat it :ROFLMAO:

Budgies can be really stubborn when it comes to new foods like pellets unless started on them when weaning. Always worth trying.
