My dearest Anré, if tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
I've heard that it's very good, but have never used it. The ingredients list looks good though-- no preservatives, additives, or artificial color/flavor.
Ohhh, haha, silly me, I thought What's Cookin' was another brand of seed mix. I actually haven't tried that but I tried Dr. Harvey's "Veg to Bowl" and Charles just hated it. He much prefers fresh veggies. I didn't want to spend another $11 on a big bag of something that he might not eat... I just prepare him some baby carrots and other veggies instead Then again he didn't like Beak Appetit either which I've heard many budgies love. I wish they did trial sizes of the What's Cookin'!
Haha, I am. I actually don't even use it all that much though because I've finally converted Charles to pellets, but I offer him seeds every once in a while for variety and as a treat because he loves them
I use the Volkmans parakeet, because as the label says" the best bird diet in the world" so it must be ,,right??? I was going try Dr Harveys, but did not feel like ordering it on line and could not find it local. I have to say that my budgies do seem to like it, very little seed gets wasted. But, I don't use it too much as my budgies main food is sprouts, which they eat every day. Far as I'm concerned sprouts are " the best bird food in the world".

Yeah thats great seed mix. They preserve with orange oil instead of ethoxyquin. Plus I like that they warn the budgie owner that their birdseed alone is not a complete diet. you can't say that for other seed makers who talk of their seed being totally complete and balanced. So I give them props for that too.
