Quail supplys?

You don't have to give them seeds at all, that's just a treat. You can give them just about anything for a treat. I don't know if TSC has millet, but that is all that parakeet seed is: Red and White millet seeds.

Oops, posted too soon

I use pine shavings with mine, and haven't had any problems. You probably won't find game bird feed at TSC, from what I've heard, so high-protein chick starter would be fine. I believe the highest they have is 24%, which isn't that much lower than the game bird starter I get. And yes, for adult buttons, just mush eggs and shells both, the hens will pick the shells out for calcium.

Okay, thank you SO MUCH! How much is Parakeet food? Do you mind if I send you pms every now and then?

The parakeet seed I got was like $3 for a 3# bag, so it's not expensive at all. And I don't mind getting pm's, it makes me feel loved

Thanks so much for all your help!

Wow!!! $1 a pound is way to high. I woudn't give over $0.30 per lb. Walmart isn't a feed store so go to the right place for feed. If you only have a few buttons try to find someone close to you to share feed with or just keep it sealed & cool & it will last a very long time.

Could I get parakeet food from Wal - Mart? Thanks.
