If you do a little research online you'll find that seed is generally no longer recommended as a staple for birds. Seed can be deficient in many nutrients and also too high in fat. Usually, formulated pellet food is better. From what I've read, converting a bird to pellet food takes a little time by gradually decreasing the seed and increasing the pellets over time.
