Hagen Parakeet/Budgie Staple VME Seed – Premium Blend, Nutritionally Balanced, Fortified with Vitamins & Minerals, Dust-Free Mix for Budgies, 6 lb Bag

No artificial colors or junk! I looked at a lot of different seed mixes for parakeets. Not the marketing hype, just straight to the ingredients. There are only a few that don’t have artificial colors, soybean and other fillers. This is the only one which is affordable in that bunch. I saw another brand who has organic seeds plus fruits and veggies. I saw that the same first ingredient is included in this seed mix, millet. But the seed is 1/5 the price. I will, of course, have to supplement with other foods like veggies and fruits to make up for the lack of in this mix. But I am very happy that there is only orange oil added with vitamins and nutrients. I don’t think the vitamins and nutrients are actually a benefit, but at least there is no poisonous colors or genetically modified soy or other harmful additives. I am happy with this for my lennie parakeet. And I just got it out of the bag and he went absolutely bonkers for it! I am very satisfied.

Great food and natural! No dyes

Impressed with the quality. A healthy seed diet, per se.

I considered buying this seed mix because it has whole seeds, no pellets and no dyes. And on top of it, it’s at a good price. I feed this to my budgies both dry and sprouted and they eat it all!!! It didn’t come with mold, or moths and the bag was not puffed up which are all good signs!! I definitely recommend getting this seed mix instead of other mixes like Wild Harvest, Kaytee, Encore or Higgins. Just remember seeds should NOT be the only thing your budgies or other small birds eat. Like the bag says, feed a variety of leafy greens, herbs and veggies along with seeds so they get their nutrients.

Great product

It’s been so hard to find parakeet food that contains only seeds. My birds will not eat those red and green artificially colored pieces in my current brand and I’m so glad. I feed them organic veggies, fruits, and grains twice a day in the form of chop and I just want pure, clean seeds to supplement their food. This brand appears to solve that issue and my budgies eagerly enjoy these seeds. They love to hop back and forth between the chop and these seeds and truly enjoy their meals. So far I only have a positive experience, so I’m going to recommend and continue to buy this brand. It’s a good value for the money, too.

I've been using this seed to feed my parakeets and cockatiel for almost 5 years now. Birds are very healthy and don't waste very much of it.

Les encanta a mis periquitos

birds love this food

Great quality and also great price for the quantity. My birds love this seed mix. Great for their needs. I just add some fresh veggies etc to be well balanced. It also gets shipped to me quickly with no problems. Would definitely recommend!

I wasn't sure which brand of seed to buy for my budgie, but I've always know about the good reputation of Hagen, so I decided to buy this brand when I saw it. I'm certainly glad that I did, because my budgie really seems to love this food, even preferring it over her budgie treats and millet; after reading the back of the bag I am not surprised! This food is full of absolutely everything that wild budgies seek out in the wild, and has the pleasant smell of oranges. My budgie seems happy and looks very healthy too - I am going to go out on a limb, and say that most budgies would enjoy eating this seed mix, and I highly recommend it - my budgie loves the seed, and I love the price and reasonable bag size!

Ma perruche fait un peu le tri mais c'est une bonne nourriture pour elle. La liste d'ingrédients est fiable. Satisfaite.

Budgie love it. And arrived faster than expected. Thank you
