Vegtable oil

[SunnyTheConure]

I have realised the bird seed I have been feeding my budgies has vegetable oil. My question is this safe to feed them until I can locate a new seed mix

How far down the list of ingredients is vegetable oil? Wondering if a trace amount used in preparation? Can you share the brand and/or image of label?

Great Question Scott!

FYI: If this is Dry Seed, there is a 99 % likelihood that it is referencing the machine lubrication used on moving parts. From time to time a drip may fall into the mix as it travel though the machinery.

Its dry seed yes and its the last ingredient

Generally the last ingredient in a long list is minimal. Listing ingredients in order of weight or volume is required in many nations for human food. I'm assuming pet manufacturers comply but uncertain! In this case, as food-safe oil is generally derived from seeds/nuts, should be OK. Do they specify the type or simply "vegetable oil." If unstated, most likely a less costly tropical oil product.
