What are pellets
Pellets are actually kibble that you also give to your dog or cat. Now I can hear you thinking, "but birds eat seeds, right?" That's right! But I'll come back to this later. A pellet has all the nutrients a bird needs and that's great because every chunk has the same nutritional values.
Why pellets
As mentioned before, pellets contain all the nutrients a bird needs. Seeds are often too fatty and these seeds that you buy in a store are often not the seeds that birds eat in the wild. In addition, birds often eat selectively from the seeds, resulting in nutritional deficiencies. If you are now convinced and you want to transfer the bird to pellets, this must be done gradually, often birds do not like the pellets in the beginning because they are used to seeds. Pellets are a lot healthier.
About getting used to pellets
If the bird only knows seeds and you now want to switch to pellets, this must be done gradually, because otherwise the bird can lose weight because they do not eat. What we as Avonturia recommend are the nutrients from lafeber, these are globules with seeds and pellets. This way the bird gets used to the taste of pellets and also has seeds. These can also serve as main food! The bird also has stimulation while eating because they really have to gnaw it off.
Different types of
Because one bird is not the other, there are many different pellets.
Some examples of this are:
These are the nutriberries, you have these for both small parakeets and parrots. There are different flavors!
This is a very nice pellet, this pellet is made entirely of natural ingredients, which makes this pellet 100% organic and that distinguishes this pellet from all others. The taste of the pellet is nuts!
This pellet is made and by veterinarians. Often the switch to pellets is easy with Fiory because many birds simply like the taste. This pellet is also available in various sizes.

Main power supply
Pellets, together with fresh vegetables (and fruit in moderation), are a great staple food. We do, however, always advise to give a good seed mixture next to it, for example you could do this in forage can hide toys! This way they are busy and they also have something to do, because pellets are a bit more boring because the bird does not have to peel anything.
