I have very fussy eating lovebirds, they pick and choose what they will eat, which only seems to be seed. I have only had them a few weeks (I am, as far as I know, the 3rd owner). My female is unwell and the vet recommended this feed and so far so good, they are eating it.

As with all things 'bird', it's worth persevering with any new diet, and not introducing it 'cold' and expecting success. Mixing it gradually with existing food until the bird accepts it usually works. I had no difficulty getting my 4 cockatiels to eat Harrisons normal or high potency varieties - they all took to it straight away, even without me having to mix it with their previous diet. There's no waste, it doesn't go mouldy if left uneaten on a specific day, and I switched them to Harrison's on the advice of our avian vet, so it's professionally recommended too. My blue and gold macaw is also now on Harrison's, which she absolutely loves, but in her case it took many months of perseverence, including crushing up the pellets with warm water (parrot porridge!) before she accepted it. Birds do differ, and some may never like a specific food, but this is an excellent variety with all the nutrients needed and no toxins, so it's definitely worth a go.

Despite being the best pellet based diet out there, I probably still won't buy it again. They are boring, believe me, I've tried them, and my cockatiel wanted absolutely nothing to do with them, no matter how long I persevered, and no matter how many ways I served it. I am much happier now that he is on an xtravital seed based diet, supplemented with plenty of fresh fruit and veg, as it is much more varied and interesting than any pellet, and in my opinion, more healthy. Harrisons is also very overpriced. The plus side is that it is made from organic produce, which is a step in the right direction. I would only feed these (or any other) pellets if you really have to.
