The brand I use is found here---> That Pet PLace. There are different size containers and my cockatiels like it.

To be honest, I don't even know if it's the best kind, but they like it. I mix some seed with it. Don't just switch over to pellets. Some birds are so stubborn that they'd rather starve then change their diet. Do it gradually.

Don't worry, I wouldn't just switch over!

Right now, Buttons seems to want my chips and salsa. I think I'll eat some vegetables after this and save some for him. Hopefully, he'll like a salad as much as chips! (He tried to steal one...)

Is that the long pellets or the small round ones? I bought Exact and it was small round ones and they never ate it. When I bought the long pellets they ate them, especially Evie.

Zupreem pellets are 'fruit shaped'...most of them round, some banana shaped. My tiels LOVE them. That's what I feed them. Its one of the better brands. My tiels won't eat the long ones. LOL, They leave the bananas out.

Mine love them too, but mine don't eat the bananas either. Funny.
