I got Roudybush for my budgies as crumble not sure they eat the same as many say quaker use allot feet to hold food. Does it matter which version I feed them as allot of them look similar as he eats both of them? It confusing in the back as the make it sound small bird need small but on the back says crumble for small to budgues,cocktailbird,quaker and only can see it if fully clear if you buy the bag of food. As if I get small for small bird as every one else I see on forum says becuase he likes to use there feets and ceberate water bowl to let them make pellet saoup or washing there food. Is there diffrences in there diet for this foods and can I keep there maintain only for bird over many years older not babys as I keep seeing low fat foods. Are low fat food safe to feed them only as I feed them 95 percent only so can they survive with low fat or they need the fat to keep more food so they dont starve in one day? m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uKbh6Xg+L._AC_SL1500_.jpgm.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CT4u-1rJL._AC_SL1500_.jpgm.media-amazon.com/images/I/91k00zRzAjL._AC_SL1500_.jpg |

As long as the bag of pellets specifies that they're suitable for Quakers, they should be fine to feed your parrot. The formulation of the different size pellets is usually the same or the difference is small. My QP Ralph prefers ZuPreem and Higgins pellets and he likes the medium size best.
Ralph likes to get some softened pellets every day and because of that, he doesn't make "soup" by putting pellets in his drinking water. I just soak a few pellets in a small glass by adding just enough water to moisten them, and let them sit for a short time until they're soft. They can be offered from a small spoon or put in the parrot's food dish.
What else besides pellets are you feeding your parrot? A variety of vegetables, a little fruit, some cooked pasta and quinoa are all good parts of a parrot's diet. Ralph gets a small amount of a good quality safflower seed mix every day too. A small amount of fat in a parrot's diet isn't a problem, but too much fat is.

Mostly pellet I tryed fruit he wont take and wont eat vegetables as he did once bite lecctuce. I got other bags not sure this healty and can I feed him this each day. Are this even lowfat or salt sugar free and not allot dye color on the diet? This the one I have as he did like and saw ate more than 10 bites on day as normal pellet 3 bite and later on night he eat some 3 bite and use sometimes her feet. Is this healty diet over Rudybosh and can I get bag in 10lb roucxh budsh as other small one cost more than rudybush and they last longer. m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91alc-VVcIL._AC_SL1500_.jpgAlso I am confuse the bag rodybush say small bird quacker use crumble but zumpreme says medium bird so they dont even agree on the same size? I do see some wierd things of her she flip food tray that default small clear plastic bowls medium cage as this was the medium size as for crumble I havent yet see him trow the bowl inside and make the food fall out. Also is barking or lauging in long time as 30 minutes then just keep quiet to random to fimilar sound like dog barking to a sqeeak sounds. Also got the water bowl trow the water on cage more regular as got medium bigger cup that have metal rods outside the cage to grab on it as the other bowl was stuck by the door as the bigger bowl doesnt trow it. Also the she being some weeks here. As she does look taller then the budgies so she adult bird? |

The Nut Blend pellets should be fine if your parrot likes them. Roudybush pellets have a good reputation and if your parrot prefers them they should be fine too.
When giving vegetables to a parrot, it's usually necessary to keep offering them over and over even if the parrot rejects them. It usually takes time for a parrot to accept new foods. It can help sometimes if you eat some of the same things while your parrot watches, and act like it's the most delicious food you've ever tasted. Parrots like to share foods that their human friends enjoy. Sometimes it's necessary to prepare the vegetables in different ways, both raw and cooked for most kinds (most beans should always be cooked). Offer large pieces, smaller ones, finely chopped or mashed. Sometimes when a parrot won't eat a vegetable offered one way, he will like the same thing prepared differently. You will waste some food that the parrot doesn't eat but eventually you'll probably discover some things that he likes. Ralph's favorite food is fresh green peas (sugar snap peas).
Quaker parrots are normally larger than budgies. Both kinds are often called parakeets but they're different types of parrots Technically, a parakeet is one of several types of parrots with long tails.
