I am looking after my daughter's budgie and she already used this so I ordered the same. He seems very happy with it, when not tempted by millet spray!Pack arrived safely.

The ingredients sound okay in principle and very similar to other products with which my budgie is familiar, small pellets. The pellets in this case are multi-coloured which is not all that helpful but it has a strong, synthethic tuti-fruti candy smell - my budgie won't go near it as a result. It has a strong synthetic taste similar to the smell (yes I did try it). It may be right up your budgie's street but not mine. It seems over processed.

At first, when I ordered these (as an emergency as Northern Parrots were briefly closed over Xmas), they seemed fine. My conure had a go at them, but over the next few hours, I noticed a strange 'wee' odour in the room. Having cleaned and checked everything as this had never happened before, my suspicion that it was these pellets was proven true once I removed them. I had to stand them for a few days before ordering my usual ranges of pellets elsewhere and promptly binned these pellets. Not sure what's in them to produce such a horrible wee smell. OK for emergency use, but there are definitely much better products out there with fresher, healthier ingredients.

They smell very artificial and not nice. It stinks up the whole room. Been trying to feed it to my budgie for a whole month I think she haven't ate a single ball. My new budgie that I got over a week does not like it either. I mix it with seeds so the seeds are eaten and this left. Maybe the balld are too big for budgies as from the reviews it seemed that owners with bigger birds like conures were okay with this...I've read in the coments that some people chop it for the birds so will try to do that, but again if I lut a bigger quantity of it in my older budgies food bowl she flips out and start throwing the seeds out of the feeder with her beak in anger.

Unfortunately my budgie don’t fancy
