I got my kakariki eating zupreem fruit pellets and cockatiel food. (A mixture of both ) He seems to like the tiel food a bit better but he's not picky. Does anyone know which I should wean him off and which food I should keep?

If it's between seeds or pellets, I would recommend both. If kakariki's are anything like budgies and cockatiels in that their wild diet contains a lot of seeds, then it would be best to keep seeds in your kaks diet. Do something like 50/50 of seeds and pellets.

Or..... replace the dry seeds with sprouted seeds.


Also, feed other healthy foods such as vegetables, some fruits, the occasional cooked eggs, grains and legumes.
