Posted July 31, 200915 yr hi been reading about seeds best for budgies and want to know what ones are classed as filler seeds
July 31, 200915 yr its the **** seeds they put in the seed mixes to take up space, which means less of the good seed. cheap seed the birds dont eat.
July 31, 200915 yr its the **** seeds they put in the seed mixes to take up space, which means less of the good seed. cheap seed the birds dont eat. Pearce is right. Sometimes they even put wheat in there.

Sometimes they even put wheat in there.thats a start if wheat is present thats a filler
July 31, 200915 yr Plain brand or no name brand seed always has filler seed so dont buy cheap brands.
July 31, 200915 yr when I look at a bag of no name seed from woolworths, then look at a seed from golden cob/riverina etc, I can see a massive difference. The no name seed has lots of orange seeds which I find my birds dont eat, and little black seeds, which they dont eat either. And they are missing many seeds that riverina or golden cob have

July 31, 200915 yr The ones Pearce mentioned are named rapeseed and sorghum (also called milo). Rapeseed picture Sorghum/milo picture Sorghum is way too hard and rapeseed is way too small. No name brands are typically packed with this stuff. Edited July 31, 200915 yr by Chrysocome

August 1, 200915 yr I suggest that you go to a reputable seed merchant, if there is one near you. Go armed with a list of the best seeds and buy some of each. Then you can mix your own. The more you buy from a merchant, the cheaper they will be.
August 1, 200915 yr If you can source Golden Cob budgie breeder supreme mix its very good. Also budgies eat ALL of good quality finch mix as well...leave nothing behind.
