FW> Rick,
 RF> Do you give your Birds sunflower seeds?
 FW> Yes. I have not ever used a pelleted diet and might not ever. (Never, 
 FW> say never.) However, for the past 13 years I have sprouted my seeds.
 FW> This reduces the fat and adds enzymes to their diet.
 RF> What is your opinion on this?
 FW> Oh, no, you asked for my opinion.
 FW> If you use seed it should only be a portion of your diet. The rest 
hould
 FW> be raw fruits and veggies, cooked beans, etc., ect. It is the overuse of 
 FW> seeds that is detrimental to the health of your bird. If you chose to 
se
 FW> sunflower seeds, then sprout them so that they will become a surperb 
 FW> source of vit/min.
 FW> Hope that this answers you question.
 FW> Fran
