Feed as a dry pellet, replacing the seed proportion of the bird's diet:
Birds that are accustomed to eating seed need to modify their feeding technique to eat Pellets:
Direct Change to Pellets: Applies to companion birds, large parrots and pigeons. Remove all seed and treats and provide only Parrot Pellets. Observe the birds closely. If the birds do not eat during the day then provide some seed before nightfall and try again the next day. If this is not successful try "Introducing Pellets"
Introducing Pellets: Applies to small parrots and aviary birds. Start with a 50:50 mix of Pellets and seed. Over the next few days, slowly increase the proportion of Crumbles. Remove all the seed once the birds begin to eat the Pellets.
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.

Passwell Parrot Pellets are a complete diet. Limit the use of supplements and treats. Offer up to 25% of the diet as fruit (apple, pear, kiwifruit, orange) or vegetables (corn cob, silver beet, kale, asian greens, carrot, capsicum, broccoli) as well as fresh seeding grasses and sprouted seed.
Feed 50% more than the non-breeding requirement of Pellets plus prepared Passwell Finch Soft Food or Parrot Soft Food, depending on species. This provides the additional protein and nutrient requirements for breeding birds.
