I`ve bought some tonic seed but im reading conflicting ways to feed it to my 6 budgies. also when giving them fruit or veg is it a good idea to remove there seed

Hi Haiths tonic seed is usually recommended for budgies who are breeding or recovering from illness or are underweight. It has recently had a particularly high proportion of groats which are very high in fat. Is there a particular reason why you want to feed it to your birds?

No reason my gang seem as fit as a butchers dog!! ok there moulting at moment ,i just thought i was a menu change ,i did read to give it in small amout and only twice weekly and also take it out a night time .

They eat a little fruit and veg not much though and

And .... they have Smooth Radio on all day !!!!

I give Pip tonic seed once a week and leave his fruit, herbs and veg in as well.
