We switched yesterday to the Roudybush. They are not eating it! I don't know what to do. We bought mix seed and fruits too so today I did put some of that in their bowels because I was worried. Please give me some advice!

You have to do a change in food slowly. Sometimes our birds can be very stubborn and refuse to eat food that they don't recognize.

Put their other type of food back into their cages and take some time to read Andie's Conversation Method smile.gif

I've had Harley on Harrison pellets most of his life (3 1/2 yrs) and wanted to add another brand to his menu so I chose Roudybush....I mix both together in his bowl and he is eating both of them as far as I can tell....



You may want to put more pellets with the seed and see how that will work....Then eventually take all the seed away and just give to birdie as a treat...Hope you can make the switch....

I agree with Carrie~Anne. You have to do it very slowly.......My green cheek, Gidget was very hard to convert. It took me about 3 different times. I thought it would never happen, but then "voila" it happened.....Don't give up!!!

I also had difficulties with two of our guys. Had to quit and re-start a couple of times, but persistence will pay off. smile.gif
