What is the difference between pellets, crumbles, and seed blends for cockatiels?
Pellets and crumbles are identical pieces that provide consistent nutrition in every bite, which can make it easier to meet goals for digestibility, nutrients, and enjoyment. Seed and grain blends or birdseed mix different seeds and grains for more variety in texture and flavor. This page features both types so you can match the food form your bird prefers while still prioritizing balanced nutrition.
How should an egg-based supplement fit into a cockatiel's diet?
Egg-based supplements are made to be used with a complete daily food, not replace it. Use them alongside your bird's regular diet to add extra nutrients, and follow the directions on the package for how much to offer. Keeping the staple diet balanced helps support healthy digestion, steady energy, and glossy feathers.
