hi everyone Just thought i'd let you all know that i am converting my tiels onto a new diet. Its called Zupreem Avian Maintenance which comes in all sorts of flavours and the tiels LOVE IT.  Its a complete diet which contains everything they need in each pellet, and nothing is wasted either. No seed husks and no waste! I didnt think they'd convert this easily, they scoff it down  |

I converted my birds to the pellets about 6 months ago and they are so much healthier for it...
At first they didnt like the change but I mixed a bit of seed in with the pellets and after a while they were actually picking out the new pellets which was a good sign...
We were also told by the vet to make "cookies" for the birds which involved mashing up the pellets and mixing it with water and then making little cookies out of the mixture and baking them in the oven... The birds werent very impressed by that so I just took the seed away and left them with the pellets and they seemed to be eating ok...
I weighed them every couple of days to make sure that they were getting enough food during the day and everything... The pellets definately cost a lot more than the seeds but once again, there is no waste which is good...
I dont mind paying a bit extra knowing that they are going to be much healthier and happier little birdies for it...
Of course their Mum does spoil them every once in a while with a nice seed stick for them to chew on, they go mad when they see me with the packet : )
