How to switch over your birds to NutriBird pellet food?
 
1. Preparatory phase
As far as the smaller bird species are concerned (canaries, tropical and British finches, budgies), it is recommended to begin by preparing them for the switch. The aim is not to force the birds to eat pellets during this preparatory phase. They are just taught to recognize pellets as one of the elements of their food. For 2 or 3 weeks, they will be given the normal mixture of seeds to which 10 % of pellets will have been added. For large parakeets and parrots, this preparatory phase is not necessary.
 
2. The switch itself
During the switch-over period, seeds and pellets will no longer be mixed. The birds only receive pellets during the whole period. Some days, following the schedule below, they will still be given a bowl containing seeds which they will eat as much of as they want. But the periods during which the birds only receive pellets will become longer and longer so as to oblige them to consume more pellets. "Seed days" will be introduced into the schedule to prevent the birds loosing too much weight. During these days, the birds will be able to recover any energy they may have lost during the "pellet days".
