Review: Great price, NO poisonous colors or soy! And bird loves it. - No artificial colors or junk! I looked at a lot of different seed mixes for parakeets. Not the marketing hype, just straight to the ingredients. There are only a few that don’t have artificial colors, soybean and other fillers. This is the only one which is affordable in that bunch. I saw another brand who has organic seeds plus fruits and veggies. I saw that the same first ingredient is included in this seed mix, millet. But the seed is 1/5 the price. I will, of course, have to supplement with other foods like veggies and fruits to make up for the lack of in this mix. But I am very happy that there is only orange oil added with vitamins and nutrients. I don’t think the vitamins and nutrients are actually a benefit, but at least there is no poisonous colors or genetically modified soy or other harmful additives. I am happy with this for my lennie parakeet. And I just got it out of the bag and he went absolutely bonkers for it! I am very satisfied.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there peanuts in this seed?**
A: There are no peanuts that I know of in this seed.

**Q: Are these unhulled seeds?**
A: No these seeds are whole that the birds crack with their beaks to obtain the moist contents inside the outer shell that protects the seed they consume.  They are very adept at cracking the outer shell to get at the consumable inside they enjoy to sustain them.

**Q: The description says the seeds are hulled and then fortified but comments here say the seeds are not hulled.  Is there sugar in this?**
A: Some of the seeds are hulled: the oats and one of the millions, to avoid non-edible bulk in the package.  There is no added sugar and no added fat in this seed mix and no pellets.

**Q: I just received my order today. the manufacture date is august 2016, which is almost two years ago. is this normal, or did i get shipped an old bag?**
A: That doesn't sound too good. Doesn't it have an expiration date. My seeds are usually good for two years after I purchase them. I would contact the manufacturer. Seeds lose their nutritional value with time.
