It made it seem as if you fed your bird this sutff they would talk better. Well, in the little window (i'm sure you know what a mean the clear bit that shows you what's in side) it just looked like normal budgie seed mix. Not even added grit or dried fruit or vegges Silly advertizing. There was also bags for canaries called singing treats. I think it was by aristopets but i'm not sure and I can't find a picture of it anywhere online Has anyone else seen them? Link to comment
Guest budgeover Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 YES! I forget what they are called at pets at home but they have them in there! Its sealed packet but i found an opened one and its just normal seed. I think its called 'Chatter Treat' or something like that. Link to comment

What utter nonesense! Is this seed more expensive than, say, Trill? Imagine the disappointed kids (and adults) who invest in this stuff, instead of investing TIME in their pet, just to find out that it is no more than a sales gimmick. I hate rip-off merchants!

Guest budgeover Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 the treats come in a little sachet (say four t bags sewn together) and cost around 40p (i think). Link to comment

I didn't think to look at the price of it just thought how stupid are companies to push that? Link to comment

I've also seen rainbox coloured talking treats!! Hmm...great idea! Useless seed with added colour to just make your budgie sooo much healthier! Link to comment
Guest pixie25 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 the ones at pets at home are called 'chit chat'. they are the ones in little sachets. it is 'vitamin enriched seeds' or whatever. Link to comment
