Is this a healthy type of bird food?
My bird REFUSES to eat fresh fruits and veges, so I want to get him off of his seed diet since it is unhealthy for him but I don't know which one is the healthiest. Help?

Is there other bird food out there? Please give me the brand!
That food is actually one of the most highly recommended by vets. It is very healthy. A good diet would be pellets, fresh fruits & veggies, and the occasional healthy human foods such as pasta, bits of meat, eggs, and cheese. Avoid avacado and chocolate. ;)

My favorite brands, in that order.
Do not get the colored ones, they have to much sugar.
They will also need to eat some seed daily.
keep the seeds, they are best for birds. add in some stick treats, too, they seem to like honey flavored. if you want more fruits in the diet, it will be hard to get them to change. try rolling teeny tiny pieces of fruit into the seeds so the seeds stick to it. put the seed covered fruit onto a napkin, and see if the bird will eat it. this could take up to a year for the bird to get used to it. they may or may not like it. dont leave the fruit in the food dish, though, because if the bird DOES eat it, it will probably be rotted by then, because with the seeds it can rot in a day.
