Seed Junkie Rehab: Get Your Bird Off the All-Seed Diet, Safely

Seeds are the fast food of the bird world, and an all-seed diet is linked to obesity, fatty liver disease, and a shorter life. You already know that. That's why you're here.

Here's the trap: you can't just take the seeds away. Birds burn energy fast and can crash dangerously within a day or two if they stop eating, and a committed seed junkie will genuinely starve rather than touch a pellet it doesn't recognize as food. So conversion is a slow, monitored process, not a cold-turkey crackdown. Done right, it's safe and it works. This guide is the safe way.
