Lafeber's Pellets Feeding Schedule —
Courtesy of Lafeber Company:
If you have never used pellets before, please read the following. Birds are shy about new foods. And if your bird has eaten seed all of its life, pellets can be a drastic change.
PLEASE DO NOT IMMEDIATELY SWITCH SEED-EATING BIRDS TO PELLETS.
Converting Birds to Pellets...
Often, birds seem to need a short period of introduction, and then they convert to Lafeber's Premium Daily Diet from seeds quite rapidly. Here are some methods to help in the conversion:
- Mixing with current diet — This involves mixing the pellets with your bird's current food. Start by making pellets about 10% of the food, then gradually increase the amount of pellets each day until pellets account for the entire diet. This method is often done over a period of two to four weeks, depending on your bird!
- Avi-Cakes — Perhaps the best method is to use Lafeber's Avi-Cakes, a pellet/seed mixture bound together with a natural coating. Birds are attracted to the seeds and soon end up eating the pellets. A perfect conversion food!
- Fill a dish with pellets and leave it all day, while giving your bird seeds for short periods each morning and evening. Decrease the amount of bird seed gradually until pellets account for the entire diet.
