I heard seeds hitting the cage bars and floor. I was immediately on alert as I thought a budgie was being sick. On closer inspection, I found all of these Harrison's pellets on the floor. Then I noticed Iris at the seed bowls on the top of the cage. It dawned on me that she had been chucking the pellets out of the bowls. Thanks for the scare Iris!  |

There's nothing quite like voting with your beak, is there?
"Mum! Mum! Someone put rubbish in the food bowls again!"

It reminds me of when Jojo went on hunger strike because she didn't like a new seed mix I was buying (they changed the mixture).

It's a challenge, to be sure.
If I offer a choice, pellets will always be bottom of the list.
Sometimes the flock food chirp at me towards lunch time and I look and they have plenty of pellets, they're just choosing not to touch them in the hope of something better.

It's a very serious thing when they do that. Budgies need time to get used to a new seed mix. If I am changing over, I like to be able to offer 50/50 first and then 25/75 until I am sure they are eating it. I think at the time I used Avia, but they drastically changed it and discontinued the original one that my budgies liked. |

They do let their likes and dislikes be known. Mine HATE broccoli! I'll never forget offering them broccoli sprouts with their other sprouts and watching Buddy perched on the edge of the dish, tossing them onto the floor!
