Feed as a dry crumble, replacing the seed proportion of the bird’s diet:
Birds that are accustomed to eating seed need to modify their feeding technique to eat Crumbles:
Caged birds tend to over-eat and become obese when offered an unlimited supply of food. It is a healthier, and more economical practice to establish your birds’ daily food requirement and feed that amount.
