Just seeds, finally! No unwanted additives.
Itâs 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 Iâm 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 Iâm going to recommend and continue to buy this brand. Itâs a good value for the money, too.

High Quality Seed!
We LOVE this product! No artificial flavors, no numbered dyes, itâs perfect for my babies! I decided to order 2 packages this last time but unfortunately one arrived damaged. It looked like a possible box cutter accident where it was sliced/punctured right in the middle of the bag of seed. Thankfully the other bag was perfectly fine so my babies have seed for the time being. I assume this was due to packaging/transit and not the actual sellers fault. Either way thank you for making an awesome product that I can trust for my parakeets, cockatiels, and conures! My animals health is my number one priority and a high quality seed is the base to those goals!

Great price, NO poisonous colors or soy! And bird loves it.
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 donât 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 donât 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.

No waste!!!
I am so happy with this seed! It is the first I have found where my budgies don’t waste most of it by tossing it out of the feeder. No waste, and they love it!

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!
