Having lots and lots of feed waste. They are not eating the unknown seeds pictured. Don’t care about the grit.
Have tried many feeds but they won’t eat pellets or crumble.
Any suggestions would help.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Have you been feeding them the same feed for the past 2 years?

What type of feed is that? Looks like wild bird food which wouldn't be very healthy for them.

They only consume grit in very small amounts. You probably won't ever notice them eating it.

What brands of pellets/crumbles did you try? How long did you attempt to try and switch them over from what appears to be scratch to a properly formulated feed? Have you tried making a mash or fermenting the feed to make it more appealing to them?

Hello! Welcome to BYC! I feed my birds mash twice a day. They like it better than dry feed! I would try it! Nothing to lose! Good luck!
