Premium Ingredients
This expertly crafted pellet diet contains high-quality ingredients including ground corn, ground wheat, soybean meal, wheat middlings, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Feeding Directions
Offer Lafeber's Pellet Diet as 80% of your parakeet's daily food intake. The remaining 20% can consist of healthy treats such as fresh vegetables and limited amounts of seeds. Provide fresh, clean water daily. When transitioning from seeds to pellets, mix pellets with current food and gradually increase the pellet ratio over 2-3 weeks.
Supplement Advisor's Note: Pelleted diets like Lafeber's provide more consistent nutrition than seed mixes, as birds cannot selectively eat only their favorite parts. This helps prevent nutritional deficiencies commonly seen in parakeets fed seed-only diets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the 2.26 kg bag last for one parakeet?
For an average parakeet eating approximately 1.5-2 teaspoons (6-8g) per day, this 2.26 kg bag will last approximately 9-12 months when stored properly.
Can I mix these pellets with seeds?
While transitioning, you can mix pellets with seeds, but the goal should be to have pellets comprise 80% of the diet for optimal nutrition. Seeds should be limited to treats only.
Are these pellets suitable for other small birds?
These pellets are specifically formulated for parakeets and budgerigars. For other bird species, choose species-appropriate Lafeber's formulations.
How should I store the pellets?
Store in a cool, dry place in the original bag or airtight container. Properly stored pellets maintain freshness for up to one year from the manufacture date.
What if my parakeet won't eat pellets?
Transition gradually by mixing pellets with current food. Some birds may take several weeks to accept pellets. Consistency and patience are key to successful dietary transitions.
