Is this food suitable for parakeet budgies also since its good for parrots?

Answer by DianeMay 02, 2026
No to large

The picture for the 4lb bag shows whole peanuts, in the shell, but the 8lb bag picture doesn't show peanuts @ all. So which is correct?

Answer by ChewyApr 12, 2018
The 8 pound bag also contains peanuts.

A little disappointed in the latest bag I received today. Majority of the mix is sunflower seeds. I shook the bag before opening hoping it was just settled and needed mixing. Nope. Very heavy on the sunflower seeds.

Finally found the one he will always eat!!

After 12 years of brands trials, Browns is the one! I have a 14 yr old Amazon that would only eat the sunflower seeds & peanuts from all brands until Browns- now,

After 12 years of brands trials, Browns is the one! I have a 14 yr old Amazon that would only eat the sunflower seeds & peanuts from all brands until Browns- now, he actually consumes every last bite including his pellets. He has always eaten all the fresh fruits & veggies I give each day, but his other food dish with seed mix was, literally, ripped out and thrown across the room each day (Teenagers! ) Thank goodness for Chewy & Browns Encore!

Our African Gray

Our 36 year old African Gray is a very picky bird. He really dives into this and enjoys it. If he doesn’t like a particular bird food it goes all over his cage

Our 36 year old African Gray is a very picky bird. He really dives into this and enjoys it. If he doesn’t like a particular bird food it goes all over his cage and surrounding floor. Letting us know he hates it. This is a winner for him and us.

Very Important-Fresh

The bag contained large seeds, very fresh, no bugs. Freshness is very important to me. My Grey's are my world and I only want the best for them. Thank you Chewy,

I love getting this and I always mix this with the parakeet and Finch food from the same company and it's been wonderful food for my birds cuz I have a mixture of social finch, parakeet and cockatiel in my Giant cage. Unfortunately, the last package that I did get was somehow torn at the middle or bottom part and the receipt all over the chewy box inside when I opened up the box to get my items out. I did make a contact to chewy on the matter and they took care of the situation which I'm very grateful for. I truly recommend this is a good diet mixture for not only parrots but cockatiels like it, and even my parakeet seem to like a bit of it mixed in with their other food.

Brown’s “Premium” Encore

If I could’ve gave it a zero I would’ve. When I first started feeding this to my grey, it was pretty good food. The last two bags are more than half sunflower seeds

Good Replacement, Prices Rising?

This is the third time in 3 months I have had to change my parrot's diet due to a big price hike! Really? Not to mention one brand aside was discontinued! Brown's

This is the third time in 3 months I have had to change my parrot's diet due to a big price hike! Really? Not to mention one brand aside was discontinued! Brown's is the one brand my older bird will eat, he is going on 31, so I jumped on board Chewy when I saw they carried it. Month 1 was great!, by month 2 it climbed over 10$, so I ordered another brand which was horrid though the photos said different. Now I am buying this but getting one pound less for more money. I expect by next month this product will also jump in price but I hope not as we have few places anywhere in our area to buy food for larger pet birds. We like Brown's and want to stay customers. This feed is really best for conure or like sized birds but our 30 year old grey parrot prefers smaller bits. No complaints with this food, it would just be nice if Chewy would stop bumping prices every 3 months!

I buy this parrot food every month .at first it was very consistent with the dried chili peppers and peanuts ,however for the last few times ordering there are very very slim amounts of the peppers and peanuts. If it doesn't improve I will definitely be buying a different brand .Stop skimping .
