Hey Elizabeth, what kind of bird seed do you use? Everyone is trying to tell me bad stuff about it, and not to use it, but how could something loose, cheap, and safe be bad? All I have to do is get a scooper to scoop the seeds that are tainted by urine a poo. How often do you change it? Anyone else who uses birdseed, I'd like your input. Thanks.

Sorry I haven't been on a lot so I didn't see this before... I use parakeet seed it has no sunflower seeds in it or anything like that... I took it out for awhile but the uros really seemed to be out of sorts without it... So I have paper down with a small amount of the seed down and they are so much happier...
Oh and I just continuously scoop out the yuck and then replace it about once a month or so sometimes sooner if needed... The Uros are very messy critters when it comes to their food so I have to scoop through it every day...

Quite alright, what brand? And where'd you buy it? I can't find a brand that doesn't add sugars for taste. And what doy ou use to scoop? I can't find a scooper with holes big enough for bird seed. Thanks.

A kitty litter scooper works ok and I buy my seed at a variety of places, we have Meijers up here and they are a multipurpose store groceries, auto, outdoors etc... But the reptile store I go to also stocks bulk food for birds, bunnies etc... And then I have seen it at the regular pet stores too... You might be able to find it like at WalMart or Kmart... As far as the sugars well I guess I never noticed if that was added or not... Since I know that it goes in and comes out and they have been on it for so long I just trust the brands I have been using and then of course the bulk I buy at the reptile store is what they were on when I first got them...
