I have a very fussy cockatiel that hates eating pellets, so I thought I'd start him off on the soft grain so that he can actually start eating pellets since hes a true seed junkie, it honestly hasn't even been a week and he's feet and all in his food dish on a daily diving into his soft grain. I would most definitely recommend this product for a fussy eater like my cockatiel that would never touch any pellet, I'm so happy his on his way to a proper healthy diet thanks to the natures nest soft grain mix.
